The Huesca shirt, by Juan Carlos, a former teammate.

Jordan: It was the primary tie towards a First Division. In my case, my first expertise of this caliber. We face it with nice enthusiasm. Additionally, I used to be fortunate sufficient to satisfy Juan Carlosthat we had performed collectively as kids within the Galician crew. I keep in mind that it was a sport near winter, it had snowed these days and the day of the sport it was fairly chilly and the sector was half frozen. In actual fact, we acquired to play with the orange ball. It was a fair and disputed matchfairly much like the Almería, however we weren’t as superior as this yr. We have been capable of beat them and it was the primary pleasure of that season.

That of Actual Madrid, by Odriozola. Did he select her or did he contact her?

J: He is a good participant. Anybody from Actual Madrid is there as a result of they’re top-of-the-line on the earth, however it’s true that that day the shirts have been in excessive demand. It was troublesome to get that of gamers like Benzema or Isco as a result of everybody wished these shirts. However hey, I did not care. I wished one for the reminiscence of that day and I’m very joyful to have it at dwelling.

Concerning the occasion I used to be extra nervous than common. Logically as a result of you will play towards Actual Madrid, but in addition due to the repercussions. You already know that there are individuals who have not seen you play for a very long time and you realize they are going to see it as a result of they televised it overtly… I do not know, I had that itch that I had been away from Galicia for a few years and after so lengthy they have been going to see me play towards the true Madrid. It was a combination of pleasure and nervousness, however It was a spectacular day and no person may think about that we might do one thing like this.. That is still for the reminiscence.

The one from Athletic, from Muniain. When did you commerce it?

J: Right here I used to be quick. Within the sport itself I touched Muniain’s again and informed him that this shirt was cool to play paddle tennis. He laughed and remembered on the finish of the sport, so he gave it to me. One other unbelievable reminiscence. We have been main 1-0 on the break with a objective from Pablo from a free kick and for a second we thought we have been able to knocking them down too, however no. They within the second half put another gear. It was the yr they gained the Spanish Tremendous Cup towards Bara they usually put a wither within the second half that we could not compete. They got here again from 1-2 and we had no probability to tie the sport.

These issues can occur to a match with this Cup format and I feel we have been justly deserving of the victory. One other day to maintain as a reminiscence. This time in entrance of many relations and lots of associates, so I hold it with extra affection.

Subsequent cease: Atlético de Madrid.
