Nerviosito said that 14 of the whites had a nice gesture to the entire campus, he gave them Villarreal shirts before leaving. “I never forget when he was going to go to Villarreal and he sent for Villarreal shirts for everyone and he signed them. I have the shirt there with 14 and Fernández signed them and gave it to us”, he detailed.
Finally, he added that, “I came to the team, I checked the players a little and for me Villarroel was the crack for his entire career. Celso Ayala too, but being honest at that time the internet told me that Fernández was a regular player, but the story would later prove it was great. “
