Rayo completed training week this Sunday, with the squad divided into two groups. A situation that will change in the coming days, in which Paco will have all his troops in a single group, a prelude to the resumption of the championship is near. This news is a source of joy for the central Emiliano Velázquez. “The day to day, separated into two groups, is difficult to carry because we are used to always being the complete team. I have a small advantage, because as I was injured I was apart. Every time we add teammates to the group, it is essential, “he confessed to the club's media.
The center-back is already fully recovered from the tear of the cruciate ligament in his left knee that occurred in the preseason. Almost a year later, with the medical discharge and the return of LaLiga just around the corner, the Uruguayan defender does not hide his desire. “I kept up the work I had been doing with the physios. It helped me because it gave me more time and calmed me down, I got nervous about playing again. Now, more than ever, to try to help the team. I have to thank the people who have helped me during this very difficult year for me. It is over and now we have to look forward, “he explained.
Rayo has eleven and a half days left to storm the playoff (six points), but Velázquez warns. It is not an easy task. All the teams will come out to bite and nothing has been decided yet. “We must be realistic and know where we start from: we are close to the playoff and those below. We have to do things very well, we have with what. So if we do what the coach asks us we can achieve good things. Now it's all or nothing. You can save yourself, ascend or even descend if you neglect yourself. Based on that we will all come out strong. The streaks have ended and we all started from scratch, “he reflected.
