Rodrigo Riquelme left a great impression on his Spain debut against Cyprus. He had to take the field in the 40th minute for Oyazarbal who was injured, and then he left beautiful details where his connection with his former Girona teammate Aleix García stood out. After the game he shared his impressions with Teledeporte.
Sensations after the debut
“I’m living something I’ve always dreamed of. It’s a shame the reason I have to leave is Oyarzabal’s busyness. But on an individual level I am very happy. In that sense it was great, everyone was very happy. Hopefully this will be the first of many.”
Jump from U-21
“It’s true that on a day-to-day basis it’s more natural because of the luck I have to play at the club I belong to with the teammates I have. But being here is the best, it’s the elite. I think I felt good, that I lived up to it. In the second half we didn’t score a goal but we kept the result well. We created opportunities. “We enjoyed it a lot.”
Connection with Aleix
“Aleix has amazing movement of the ball, at the level of very little. I was already lucky enough to enjoy those passes last year with him. I congratulate. I am very happy for him and his family, because he is a 10 as a person. These are mechanisms that we have in Girona that we are looking for a lot and now they are appearing here in the National Team. Who said this last year? But hey, it’s normal.”
Hit the fight
“It’s a blow, ice and tomorrow I will work normally.”
