Rodrigo Riquelme spoke to the media after the Copa del Rey match in Elche and reviewed his season and some of the criticism he has received during this season. At Martínez Valero he scored and goal and played a great game.
Necessary goal. “Yes, on a personal level I think that they have been a little unfair to me, but that is already over, now I am confident in training, which is where I have to show it. And the goal is a consequence of the work, of always being with the head up and not lower it. I dedicate it to myself because things are not going the way I would like this season. In the end, football and work pay.
Unfair why. “Certain comments were out of place, but I am not at all resentful. It was in general, the people who did it know that it was for them and now I am happy to have been able to participate again and the goal was nice.”
How was the management of that bad moment? “With my family, above all, and with the coach I work for, who is also essential. And of course with my teammates who know me and know what person I am. Thank you, I have felt very close to you, as well as the club and all the staff, and I am grateful. to everyone who has supported me.”
Very Atleti. “Yes, I feel like it’s my home, where I grew up and I would love to stay there for the rest of my life. It’s part of football to get used to that.”
Few minutes. “I’m never going to get involved in my participation or question anything. I know that the coach thinks about the team and that’s how it should be. I said it because of certain comments that were out of place and that’s it. He told me I have had to experience that part of football and I hope it is a warm-up for something to come.”
