Tyrhys Dolan Ready to Face Barcelona and Make His Mark

As the Barcelona derby approaches, Tyrhys Dolan, Espanyol's English winger, is eager to seize the opportunity and make a name for himself. In an interview with Sky Sports, Dolan expressed his excitement about the upcoming match, stating that doing something remarkable in a rivalry game can make you a legend in the eyes of the supporters. The summer signing from Blackburn has already had some notable moments, including an assist in a win against Athletic Club in Bilbao and a goal against Celta Vigo. Dolan has also faced tough opponents, such as Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, and has impressed with his performances, quickly winning over the fans with his direct play. He describes his move to Espanyol as everything he had hoped for and more, and is enjoying his adventure in LaLiga, despite the initial challenges of adapting to a new league and lifestyle. Dolan has had to adjust his game, taking on a different role on the right wing, and has worked on improving his crossing skills. Off the pitch, he has been learning Spanish and has found the locals to be friendly, with a supportive family and friends who regularly visit him. Dolan's journey has not been without setbacks, having been released by Manchester City as a youngster, but he has persevered and is now an ambassador for the charity Go Again, which supports young footballers dealing with the emotional impact of being released from academies. With his family and friends coming to watch him play against Barcelona, Dolan is determined to finish the season well and potentially secure a European place for Espanyol.
