That stayed with me and years later I wanted to see it with my own eyes. I went to Madrid and the truth is that it was bigger than what Roberto said and what I could imagine. Madrid, go where Wow, it’s Real Madrid. There is great expectation and great pressure. They are the best players in the world. I loved knowing that it was huge and could help this club to be even bigger. “

And shortly before the World Cup in Russia the possibility of Valladolid arose. I was looking, I really liked the idea of a team with a lot of tradition, near Madrid, because this is where I live, with incredible potential … then I started to negotiate and shortly after the World Cup we reached an agreement and luckily the team had risen to First Division and everything went perfect. I want to be very close to the club, I’m very aware and I have total confidence in everything I’ve brought. “
