The midfielder ensures that the problems in the cudriceps have already been overcome.
Víctor Rodríguez is willing to assume the role of organizer of Elche as Pacheta intends, who commented that the signing of the Catalan player in the winter market was for him to carry out the functions that both Javi Flores and Gonzalo Villar had previously performed.
“Footballers have to adapt and be smart about what the coach wants. In the United States I played extreme, but I got inside a lot. I see myself with confidence to be able to play in that demarcation. The position is dictated by the coach and I will be happy to help the team in any position that needs me, “said the player from France.
However, Víctor acknowledged that “first I have to give 100% in each training session and that the team knows me and I know the team.”
The Catalan footballer is “delighted” with his return to the club from Elche and assured that last Sunday against Numancia, in his redebut with the green shirt “it is a memory that I will always carry with me.” «Going back on the grass of Martínez Valero, in front of the fans and feeling the affection of the people was incredible. Also, I was able to do it at a favorable moment, with the team winning. I had unbeatable feelings ».
The midfielder pointed out that when Nico Rodríguez called him to return to Elche, he did not hesitate at any time. «I was clear that I was not going to continue in the United States due to a family issue and I wanted to return to Spain. Nico knew me from my time in Gijón and when the possibility of returning to Elche came up I didn’t think about it. I really liked it because I had a great season here in the First Division and I am delighted to have returned. ”
Victor Rodríguez has taken almost a month to debut due to a process of strengthening the quadriceps. “I had some discomfort and I had to follow some guidelines and treatment that the doctors had set for me, but I am already recovered. That job will serve me for the rest of the season. Every time I have better feelings and now I need to recover, little by little, that spark necessary to give the best of me ».
The new player from the Ilicitan team already thinks about Sunday’s game (12 hours) against Rayo and assured that they will go without fear. «We are a happy and brave team, we always go to all fields in search of the three points. As the coach says, the most important thing is to compete. Vallecas is a difficult field, with a playing field with limited spaces and winning direct duels will be very important ».
Victor is also excited about fighting for promotion, but asks to go step by step. “We are in a privileged position. We are sixth and have 43 points in the absence of 12 days. We must continue along the same lines as up to now, knowing what we have done, but also that there is still a long way to go », he concluded.
