Raúl Martin Presa is happy to sign the James Rodriguez. The Colombian international was announced yesterday by Rayo Vallecanoa day before the match against FC Barcelona (today, 9:30 pm). The Rayista president let himself into the microphone of Cope’s ‘El Partidazo’.
“It’s an honor to enjoy a player like him, he arrived at the peak of his career. He just won the Copa América MVP a month ago, ahead of Messi. What if I like James more than Messi? I’m telling you is that the judges of the tournament decided that James is a more important player than Messi but it is a fool to talk about what Messi has been in the last two decades.”
“I called James a month ago. Directly. His phone number? I have it easy. We have a mutual friend who is Falcao. We sent him a WhatsApp. From there we started working and in the end it was achieved. Something historic for Rayo, a humble but ambitious team has not achieved anything since Maradona with Naples.
Martín Presa also spoke about Laporta and the situation of the Barça club: “Taking a team like the board did has a lot of merit, it deserves all my respect.”
