Stoichkov: Abdullah Al Thani's great 'signing' for Alcorcón

Juan Diego Molina Martínez (San Roque-Cádiz- 5-1-1993) is known in the world of football for ‘Stoichkov ', sports name that he adopted for his admiration as a child to the great Bulgarian striker of Barcelona. Offensive midfielder with enormous goalscoring ease, Stoichkov belongs to Mallorca, with whom he has a contract until June 30, 2022. After the unexpected promotion to the Balearic squad, he understood that he would have few minutes so he considered the option of leaving on loan. And his wish was to go to Malaga. For that reason, blue and white vermilion signed an assignment agreement that was blessed by the Cadiz.

José Luis Pérez Caminero (then sports director) and Manolo Gaspar (he was technical secretary) got down to work. It was not difficult for all parties to agree. The economic aspect was far from being a problem. Everything was arranged so that his transfer could be announced. It is important to make two fundamental things clear. Stoichkov was really looking forward to coming to Malaga even losing money. He did not care as long as he came to La Rosaleda.

But the enthusiastic parties did not have the usual grain of the insufferable Abdullah Al Thani. Emilio Viqueira, the footballer's representative, spent a whole day in Malaga waiting for the sheik to give the authorization to close the signing. In vain. He had to go home. He hoped that in a day or two the matter could be resolved….

But no. Al Thani only gave signs of life to write bullshit on Twitter. Caminero, Manolo and Jofre (then legal adviser who also served as CEO) did not know where to go. No matter how hard they tried, they never managed to get Al Thani to change his valuable time on Twitter to work for the good of the team. Much to ask for hideous president / tweeter and his idle children.

Days passed. Uncertainty. In this situation, Alcorcón was interested in the player, aware that the sheik's passivity could frustrate his arrival at La Rosaleda. So Caminero and Manolo Gaspar themselves, with Jofre's consent, transmitted to Viqueira the message they least wanted. “The sheik shows no signs and we don't want to harm the boy. Better to accept the offer of the Alcorcón “. Said and done. On July 20, 2019 he signed for the pottery team where lcam scored 16 goals and four assists. Yet another example of Al Thani's infallible clinical eye rejecting other players such as Mere, Javi García, Adrián López, Lucas Pérez, Okazaki, the painful kick to Simón Moreno or the coach Lucas Alcaraz. Or with world-class signings by Hachim Mastour, Esteban Rolón, Benkhemassa or Takioullah. A phenomenon. Alcorcón enjoys Stoichkov and Malaga continues to suffer with Al Thani even in the distance.

Mule and the fear clause

On the other hand, Alcorcón will not be able to align Álex Mula, a player on loan from Málaga, unless the Madrid players pay a compensatory amount of money. Another victim of the dismal es sheikh filer ’
