Deyna Castellanos: “They belittle us as always”

Deyna Castellanos spoke at Fox Sport of his arrival in Spain and his decision to sign for Atlético despite the numerous offers he had on the table. The Venezuelan, in addition, showed very critical of the decision to suspend the Primera Iberdrola unlike LaLiga Santander, which itself is being disputed. “It is super uncomfortable, they belittle us as always,” said the front winemaker.

Deyna can already train individually at the Wanda Sports Center for a week: “We train as professionals. We live from this, we do a lot of things for this, so not being treated in law as professionals is obviously annoying and obviously hurts,” she said, unlike men's soccer. You are not yet able to do group workouts as is allowed on professional teams. This fact has hurt the player who reflected it in that interview.

His decision to go to Atlético was clear, since after playing in the United States University league, Deyna wanted to feel professional and play the Champions League: “One of the most important things was to play in a competitive team, to be able to play competitions that I could not play with other clubs, such as the Champions League … I do not regret the decision I made at all because I was received in the best way “. Of course, due to the pandemic he has not yet been able to debut and is pending to see when Barcelona can be measured in the quarterfinals of the continental competition.

“Charlyn, Kenti, Leicy and I, beyond opening doors to the players of our country, we are also opening the doors to all the Latin players … We must continue fighting, continue showing that women's soccer is worth it “he stressed the player on women's football in South America and the importance that they are proving their worth in Europe.
