YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESÚS GIL
“Jesus
Gil He always told me that I was the worst deal he had ever made in his life by letting me go to Sports. He scoffed at his mother. When Cherry He called me to tell me that they had sold me, the first thing I did was ask if I knew Miguel Angel Gil Marin because he always said that I would never leave while he was around. But it turns out she was on her honeymoon … ”.
LUIS ARAGONES
“He is the best coach I have ever had. He conveyed security and always defended the players. I learned a lot from him. As a coach and as a person he was a great friend. We were playing a preseason game and I missed a penalty. They blew another one and I didn't throw it away and he gave me a tremendous scolding. ‘You should shoot the penalty! Your! Whoever does not miss the penalty is the priest of my people because he never shoots them ”.
“One day we lost and he got very angry. That we were nobody, that we were worthless. I caught his attention. I told him it wasn't like that either. Before we were phenomena and now we were worth nothing. I yelled at him and everyone was quiet. He listened to me and didn't speak anything. I was worried about the fight he had hit him in front of everyone and I went to ask for forgiveness. And he gave me another scold: 'You don't have to ask for forgiveness, you spoke what you had to speak! I like men who speak to your face. ' I had 20 coaches and I never saw a person like that. That character that he had. To talk to people: “I'm going to grab you by the neck, we're going to go out to hell.” But the thing ended there and we went well. If it were someone else, I would make the cross for you and you would play more ”.

Aragonese we won two titles of the Copa del Rey, but I think Simeone he's doing a great job. I played against him. We hit each other on the pitch, we had our own particular punch on the pitch ”.

Once, we went to play against him Atlético de Madrid And when we go out to warm up, you hear him say Rivaldo: “Black bastard, I'm going to break your leg!” Look at it, before the game. But these things always stayed there. He has respect and affection for me and I also love him ”.
