In dialogue with Caracol, Freddy Rincón sent strong criticism against Real Madrid, the team in which he played during the 1995/96 season, and gave reasons why he could not succeed there.
Recall that the Colombian came to Spain from Italy, more precisely from Napoli, but after 21 games he could not demonstrate his entire category.
According to the born in Buenaventura, he could not succeed in Madrid because “I was lacking in white, I did not suffer racism day by day, but to play within Real Madrid, yes.” He also added that his coach, Jorge Valdano, “had him under a lot of pressure” and that is why he did not enjoy great opportunities.
Despite the above, he acknowledged that he is grateful to the club because “it made me mature as a man and a person”, although he was left with “the thorn” for having been able to play for longer.
Regarding the stars with whom he shared the dressing room (Laudrup, Redondo, Zamorano), Rincón said that it was a heavy environment “because there are many egos, a lot of pride and they are things that gives him being in the best team in the world.” Although he assured that he made good friends.
Recall that once he left Real Madrid, Rincón returned to Brazilian football and played in various teams such as Palmeiras, Corinthians (where his career ended), Santos and Cruzeiro.
