Rulli is not on vacation

Gero
Rulli He has been in Donostia for more than two weeks but his ‘new normal’ has little to do with what his former teammates from Real are carrying out. The Argentine left confinement in France behind and now, returning to his headquarters in the Gipuzkoan capital, he lives in a kind of individual regime in which he is neither entirely on vacation nor able to use the facilities of Zubieta, those of the club to which he still belongs today.

Under normal conditions, any other season the goalkeeper from La Plata would have already returned to Argentina. If the season had ended in May, like every year he would have gotten on a plane to La

Silver where he would face the pertinent weeks of rest, thinking about the next preseason. In this course in which everything was altered by the health crisis, Rulli he continues in Donostia and, in order not to lose his form, he exercises under the orders of Sergio
Sukunza, a personal trainer whose methods have also been followed by other Real players or ex-players such as Alberto
of
the
Beautiful or Sergio
Channels.

In his last appearance before the media a week ago, Robert
Olabe was explicit enough with the situation of Rulli, which he officially declared on vacation. In addition to leaving a message with a background load, assuring that “when he stopped fighting with everything that is not the game he gave his best version”, the Real football director did not include the goalkeeper as an asset related to this season and somehow summoned it to the next one, in which it will be a hot potato again. Rulli contract ends in 2021, Olabe He does not have it, but both his salary and the price of a hypothetical transfer are what enough elevated so that their exit is not easy. Montpellier would be interested in its services but not in those economic parameters.

Rulli, with good judgment, has chosen to maintain the activity in Donostia for several more weeks. He has been without specific goalkeeping training since March and, under normal conditions, he will not be able to do it until August, when Real summons his footballers to start the preseason for the campaign 20/21. Almost half a year without training 100%, covering all the sections that a professional doorman needs, which can take its toll. To avoid it, and although Olabe He sent him on vacation, the Argentine continues to train on his own in Donostia, understanding that this year the holidays must wait.
