Almost 16 months later, Dario Poveda, player of the Atlético de Madrid loaned in the Getafe, I was back on a pitch. It was last weekend, in the duel that faced the azulón team against the Elche. After overcoming a serious knee injury that occurred with the mattress subsidiary, and a long recovery time, with relapses and bad moments, the striker was finally able to play a game again.
“It was a little weird. When I went out to warm up, I didn't believe it. It was almost sixteen months since I got injured. I wasn't nervous. I had the opportunity and I am already looking forward to the next game to continue enjoying it. I just wanted to go out and try to have a chance to score and win. It is not a football question. On an emotional level, I saw it very far away and did not set dates for me to return so as not to get frustrated. Until you go through this you don't know what it is. It strengthens you a lot mentally ”, he explained on the Getafe website.
“It was a shame not to beat a direct rival like Elche and now we have two more (Cádiz and Osasuna). If we continue working as in the last two games, things will work out. You don't have to give up and when things go wrong, work twice as hard. Two decisive games are coming and direct rivals have to be beaten whatever ”, said the player, who added that “I do not remember a league so even. That always happened in the Second Division, but not in the First Division. The smallest details will mark where each one will be ”.
“Rest assured. We are going to work hard and we are going to move this forward, “he said in a message for the Getafe fans.
