Martín Presa puts Falcao at the same level as Hugo Sánchez and Pelé

Raúl Martín Presa is delighted with the signing of Radamel Falcao by Rayo Vallecano. The president of the franjirroja entity, who received one of the prizes in the presentation of the Vicente del Bosque de Alalpardo Tournament (Madrid), compared the Colombian striker with Hugo Sánchez and Pelé. “How can there be no expectation. I think that, From my humble point of view, we are talking, together with Hugo Sánchez and Pelé, of one of the three best spikers in the history of football. It is a privilege to be able to see you at Rayo Vallecano and in the Spanish League. We are very happy to have the one who for me is the best finisher that has existed on the football planet in the last 25 years, “said the head of the Vallecas club.

The president of Rayo was upset that the international break deadlines prevent the forward from making his debut this day with Iraola's team in the Levante field. “That is a decision beyond us. We do not set the schedules. We have to obey and adapt. We open the day tomorrow Saturday and Falcao cannot play. The team is on its way to Valencia and he does not have time to arrive or have a training session with his new teammates. We hope he can make his debut against Getafe. ” Martín Presa exempts LaLiga from responsibility in the matter: “Schedules that make it impossible for footballers to play with their clubs cannot be set in international commitments. LaLiga has its commitments and the error is not from LaLiga. Colombia should have played Thursday-Sunday-Wednesday so that they would have released the players earlier. The clubs are making a great effort to financially support some players that the clubs support and cover their high salaries. We are delighted that our players go with the national team, we are not opposed to it, but that this does not harm the clubs either“.

The Rayista leader was satisfied with the team they have made: “We are very happy to have Falcao and the other members of the squad that he has. I think we have made a magnificent squad and we hope it is enough and luck will be with us to achieve permanence in the First Division. We hope that Falcao's injuries respect him and he can perform well. We are eager to see him and that he can give us his best version, similar to the one he gave at Atlético de Madrid “.

Martín Presa also spoke about the defaults reported in the women's team and in the Rayo quarry and announced that the club has opened an internal investigation. “Rayo Vallecano is up to date with everyone's payment. Most of the news that has been leaked does not respond to truthfulness. There have been some situations of irregularities in the club completely unrelated to the administrative body and therefore to the entity. Some people are being investigated and when we know we can solve more. The women's team has the same treatment as the men's sections and it has been supported for many years. “Presa confirmed that it is being investigated whether there has been any irregularity on the part of an employee of the club.
