Although he currently plays in Brazilian football, the former Atlético de Madrid player Saúl Ñíguez continues to participate in the eternal rivalry between the rojiblancos and Real Madrid. The Flamengo midfielder was accused in a recent interview with Ace against the white club, its supporters (or simply its supporters, according to him) and the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Regarding his current club, the Elche footballer assured that “It’s too small to call it a giant club.. As an entity it is beastly, due to its infrastructure, but what surprises the most are its fans. The largest in the world in size. “I had a connection from day one and hopefully next year I can give them more joy.”
Saúl did not miss the opportunity to make an unexpected comparison: “Flamengo is much more than Madrid. In reality, Madrid has no fans. Madrid is famous, yes, for what he has won and he is known all over the world and that is why he has followers. But you go to the stadium and you don’t feel anything. “On the other hand, you go to the Maracana, an emblematic stadium, and it is always full.”
After a brief stint in Seville, the Spanish international went to the Brazilian championship, where he is trying to find his best version despite injuries: “I’m going to try to have surgery as soon as possible because I have pain that actually doesn’t make sense.but they limit me. Especially in the fields of Brazil, which are sometimes harder,” he explained.
A series of calcifications “wreak havoc”: “I take anti-inflammatories every day. I’m trying to get the area down. I forced and forced, but It gets bigger and bigger and more and more painful. “I wanted to be with the team at the end of the season, but I have to think about being healthy for next season and being able to perform at this level again,” he categorized.
