Thiago Fernández Embraces New Chapter at Real Oviedo

Thiago Fernández is experiencing his initial days as a player for Real Oviedo with enthusiasm and a sense of opportunity. The Argentine forward, on loan from Villarreal, celebrated his return to the pitch and the immediate impact he had on the team. “It is truly a great joy, not only to be back on the field but also to help the team,” he remarked following his debut.

The new addition to the squad explained that his move was driven by a clear need for continuity in his career. “I came to Oviedo to gain playing time. When I was informed that the club was interested and that I could start playing, I didn’t hesitate,” he affirmed, emphasizing his willingness to embrace the challenge despite the team’s current standings. “I knew it wasn’t an easy situation, but someone arriving from outside tries to bring in fresh energy.”

Fernández highlighted the relief following the recent victory and expressed confidence that it could signify a turning point for the team. “It was a relief for everyone, and with that relief, we can begin to improve our situation,” he commented, convinced that there is room for growth within the group.

Physically, the player appeared calm after a lengthy recovery process. “I had a very good recovery. I was sidelined for a year, but now I am at a hundred percent whenever the coach decides to play me,” he stated, noting that his goal is to continue building rhythm and accumulating minutes on the field.

One aspect that surprised him upon arrival was the camaraderie within the locker room. “I found an extraordinary group, very united, that works hard and deserved more points,” he acknowledged. “Fortunately, we were able to achieve that this past weekend.”

Regarding the team’s struggle to score, Thiago downplayed the situation. “In football, everything comes in cycles. The other day we managed to break one, and now it’s important for everyone, not just the attackers, to build confidence.”

On a personal level, the Argentine describes himself as a creative player. “I have always played as a playmaker, although I feel more comfortable now as a left winger,” he explained. “Wherever they need me, I will give my best.”

With excitement, he confessed that the end of the match was particularly emotional. “I released a lot of accumulated tension from a challenging year. The first thing I did was look for my family in the stands because they have always been there for me.”
