Falcao: “I'm enjoying it, the performance is what I expected”

“Spanish football favors me a lot.” This is how the most recent statements by Falcao García published on Rayo Vallecano's social networks begin and the numbers prove him right. El Tigre has three goals in the same number of appearances with the Madrid club, but in none of them has he played the 90 minutes.

“We have players with a lot of quality in the squad, that also helped me. The coaching staff has facilitated my adaptation and in the end the performance has been what I expected. Enjoying it and it remains for us to continue working to achieve the goals we have, “said the Colombian about his rapid adaptation on his return to Spanish football.

Rayo has added 13 of the last 15 points played that place him in fifth place of LaLiga, placed for European competitions, giving one of the surprises of the championship so far, although internally they are aware that the main objective is to stay in First.

On the confidence that scoring and winning generates, Falcao added: “For a forward it is very important, it fills you with confidence, this is the way. You can work on wins and goals with more calm and confidence. We must continue with the same intensity, efforts and solidarity that we have in the field. Those parameters have led us to obtain these victories“.

The agonizing goal in San Mamés and Osasuna, the next rival

Before the 3-1 victory over Cádiz in Vallecas, Rayo took the 3 points from the Athletic de Bilbao court thanks to a header from Tigre in the last minute that sealed the 1-2. The Colombian described that goal and his previous talk with Baby: “He hits him very well and he had faith that he could put in a center that would make a difference. At that point he was going to kick the goal and I convinced him to send the center. It was an exceptional pass, no one expected me to cross it. Everyone believed he was going to the bow. That upset the goalkeeper and the rival defenders. The only one who knew where the ball was going to go was me and that's why I believed and went there. It's Baby's credit for a spectacular center. “

Osasuna as a visitor is the next challenge for Falcao and his teammates this Saturday, October 2 at 7:00 a.m. from Colombia. Regarding this rival, he expressed: “They are very intense, with a lot of effort, in solidarity, they try to play ball, they become strong in their field. You have to compete, fight, try to win the duels. The team is doing well and we hope things work out for us over the weekend. “
