The man from Alicante went through the microphones of Chain Being and defended the victory of his friend and former ally Athletic. “Very happy for Rodri, although I notice a lot of sadness,” the former international began ironically. “I got messages from people saying other players deserve it. Will it be possible? Rodri is one of us, he deserves it Rodribut above all,” he explained to El Larguero.
“He deserves it for the merit of what he has done with the National Team. Leading a team from the beginning, few people bet on that team and this is the best of all. He made us a champion, he also became a champion of City of Manchester all the time, this year and last. It seems very appropriate to me and it is clear that the ViniciusThe Carvajal and the company may win too, but Rodri “He is an example for me,” commented the former colchonero.
In fact, he would have given his vote to the Madrid man, without hesitation. “If I had to vote, being objective, I would have voted for Rodri”, he commented. “Beyond the fact that he is a friend, I would have voted for him because of the player he is and what he is,” he explained. For JuanfranThe achievement is huge for national football. “What he has achieved also represents our football in a wonderful way. He is a humble, hardworking person who shows that it is not necessary to have a different attitude. He truly deserves it,” he said.
THE DISCOURSE AND BRAZIL-SPAIN
Juanfranin his intervention in the program ‘The Stringer’the speech was also praised Rodrigo Hernandez held at the award ceremony. “He’s very good. And sets a good example. I think this is the example that a player should set, especially for the little ones, for the youngest. And I think it’s a good example for this generation and for all to come Spain”, he commented.
Finally, he left a message for those saddened by that reality Vinicius didn’t get an award.
“This is something that Spanish football deserves. I remember things like Andrew (Iniesta), they deserve it. Spanish football deserves it. I don’t know, it’s like if we played a Spain–Brazilthere are people who want me to win Brazil. Rodri He is one of us, regardless of color, white, rojiblanco, culé… we should all be happy for Rodri. Colors should be left a little, Rodri is one of us, he is Spanish, I think we should support him. And then, if someone else deserves it another year, well, they will give it. But now they have given it to Rodrigo.”
Finally, he left a message for real Madrid for not attending the gala. “No comments. You have to respect people. Next year if they give it to either Real Madrid, Well, I’m sure they will go…”, he ended up saying in words to the Ser Chain.
