MADRID, 18 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, assured that the death of former Real Madrid player Paco Gente on Tuesday was “a great loss for the world of football” and although he praised the Cantabrian’s human qualities, he did not hide that he was a player ” terrible for the rival”.
“It’s a great loss for the world of football. He was a magnificent player, but he had an important quality and that is that he was a better person than a player and that for the fans is one of the most important things he had,” Cerezo told ‘Real Madrid TV’ after going to the burning chapel installed in the Santiago Bernabéu.
The manager of the rojiblanco club acknowledged that the Cantabrian winger “was an essential player” for the Madrid team. “His left wing was impossible to control, it was one of the fastest there was, it was terrible for the rival,” he said.
