“I don’t know if I’m going to spoil a plan that I have out there, but I’m very sorry. I’m going to continue for another year.” These were the words of Joaquín at the beginning of the verdiblanca party of Benito Villamarín. With the present beticismo. With an expectant public before a possible decision of the captain about his future. And he made it clear with that phrase. His renewal will be a reality and he will continue to play for Manuel Pellegrini’s team next season.
At 40 years old, Joaquín was important in winning the third Copa del Rey title and signed brilliant minutes during this course despite not being the undisputed starter. Pellegrini, his closest ally when making this decision to continue, made it clear at that very moment: “It is a great joy because he is a captain who shows that he deserves to stay for the work he does in each training session and the performance. of the”.
All this on a day marked by the party in the streets of Seville. The city dressed in verdiblanca. And Joaquín conveyed the message that all Beticismo wanted to hear. The captain is still on the scene ready to break new records and break records. He became the only footballer in the club’s history to win two titles and intends to continue being important in engineer Manuel Pellegrini’s plan.
