[Sinan.47]

football at 41 years old this summer due to an injury. Paradoxes of life, the forward who had never had a muscle injury in his more than 20-year career, had to retire after breaking his cruciate on March 12 against Ponferradina. He was four games away from renewing, but fate wanted it that way. His life has changed but he is still linked to football as part of Paco López's coaching staff at Granada. "Now I work from 8 to 8." In this interview in MARCA he reviews his career and sends a message to the fans of Alcoyano, Gandía, Benidorm, Poli Ejido, Elche, Betis, Getafe and Granada who enjoyed his almost 800 games and more than 300 goals since he debuted in his Alcoy born at the age of 17 on May 7, 1999.

 

 

Q. And what is your relationship with your former teammates like? For example, is it easier with someone like Bryan who you already met as a player than with someone new like Boyé?

A. It's a bit strange because you go from being with them as teammates in the locker room to having another role. From naturalness because I know the majority and they know me, because day to day they get along well. In the end, the new ones who have come also see the relationship I have with the others and perhaps it is a little closer than with other members of the coaching staff because of what I have lived with them. Tips? That goes a little more with the character of the player. For example, Torrente, who is a boy who is very receptive, who always wants to improve, learn, restless, who is always asking questions. You try to help young people especially from experience.
