On Saturday the first friendly match of the preseason of Cádiz took place, which faced Betis. A defeat (1-0) that left little material to draw conclusions, but the moment expected by many arrived, Álvaro Negredo's debut with the Yellow Submarine. The forward started as a starter at the Marbella Football Center and played the first half, although did not stand out excessively.
Negredo did not enjoy many occasions, the team did not generate them either, but he was active throughout the game, pressing and always attentive to the game on the wing. The Madrilenian was the star signing for the new seasonIt was even announced just after getting promoted to LaLiga Santander. This is how Manuel Vizcaíno, president of Cádiz, tells how his signing took place: “He wanted to return to Spain, we met, we talked and he was convinced by our way of doing things“.
The club's top president insists that the forward still has a lot of football: “I am convinced that Negredo could have offers from three or four LaLiga Santander teams, as Soldado had last season. They are footballers of a high level despite the fact that they are not at the zenith of their career“.
In addition, the president compares him to a footballer who brings great memories to cadismo. “When Dani Güiza came, it was said that he was 34 years old, and I said that otherwise he would not be in Cádiz. Álvaro Negredo at the zenith of his career could not come to CádizWe have brought him with 35 and there are many examples of players who are performing at a high level at his age. “
Negredo brings many things to this Cádiz, among them “It gives him experience, quality and complements what we have, which is an important forward“, says Manuel Vizcaíno.
