Tyrhys Dolan Ready to Shine Against Barcelona

As the Barcelona derby returns to Camp Nou, Espanyol's English winger Tyrhys Dolan is eager to make an impact. In an interview with Sky Sports, Dolan shares his thoughts on the rivalry and his experiences since joining the club. Having already made significant contributions, including an assist against Athletic Club and a goal against Celta Vigo, Dolan is confident in his abilities. He recalls facing Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, describing it as a 'pinch-myself moment.' Dolan has quickly won over the fans with his direct play and admits that the move to Espanyol has been everything he hoped for and more. Despite initial struggles to adapt to LaLiga, he has impressed and become a key player for the team. Dolan discusses the challenges he faced, including adjusting to a new role on the pitch and learning to navigate life in a foreign country. He credits his family and friends for their support and reveals that he has been able to connect with the fans, who have taken a liking to him. Dolan's journey has not been without its setbacks, including being released by Manchester City as a youngster. However, he has used these experiences to fuel his determination 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 Espanyol still in contention for a European place, Dolan is focused on finishing the season strongly and making his family and friends proud.
