Willian José: “At La Real they have disrespected me a bit”

Willian Jose, more sincere than ever, breaks his silence in an interview in News from Gipuzkoa in which it counts, as the Brazilian says, his truth of everything that surrounded his departure on loan to Wolverhampton, to his frustrated signing for Tottenham, and to his future at Real Sociedad, with a contract in force, but more outside than inside, because Roberto Olabe does not have him.

Wants out: “My plan is not to continue here. I've been here for five years and I need something new. I want to get out of here. But, of course, I have a contract and I don't know what will happen, I have three more years of contract. La Real is a club and San Sebastián is a city that I like a lot. But in recent years things were not good, I had no affinity with the people who work at the club, but hey … Now I have to wait. I didn't speak to anyone, not the coach, not the president, not Roberto (Olabe), not even my agent. Now I have to wait ”.

Hurt: “I think they have not treated me well. I expected a little more. When I signed my last contract with Real, when I renewed, I had spoken with Roberto Olabe that there were some interested teams, from the Premier and also from the League. I spoke with Roberto and he told me that if a big team came to play in the Champions League, they would let me go. I stayed calm. That's when the offer came from Tottenham, a big Premier League team, which was playing in the Champions League. I had the dream of playing in the Premier League and it was a very good opportunity for me. I no longer had been playing as I had previously done at La Real and I saw that it was time to change. And they didn't let me out. “

He did not want to play against Espanyol in the Cup: “People started saying that I left the concentration. That's a lie. I did not come out of the concentration. I spoke to the president the day before the game to tell him that he didn't have the head to play that game. They also did not tell the press or the fans that I had spoken with the president. I had discussed it before the game. I did not leave the concentration, which was the same day of the game in the morning. I spoke to the president the day before. I was sad about it, because people weren't telling the truth. “

More offers that flew: “Then came Barcelona and an offer from Manchester United. I saw that it was an opportunity that I could not miss, because life is like that. You have to take advantage of opportunities and I saw that it was the opportunity. I got to talk to Mourinho on the phone and I really wanted to go to Tottenham. I told them that I wanted to go with them and they were delighted with the possibility of being with me there. In the end things did not go well and this year they let me go to the Wolves. I don't understand why a few months ago they didn't want to let me out for 23 million and now they have let me out. Soccer is sometimes difficult to understand ”.

Sad for everything that happened: “I was certainly not happy. There were many lies. I didn't want to do interviews, but people spoke a lot of nonsense, a lot of lies. And the people at the club did not talk about everything that I had been through. So the fans would never know the truth. The fans will always be with the club and do not know everything that happens with the footballers. I've been through some very difficult times ”.

He accuses the club of treating him badly: “I think they have disrespected me a bit for everything that happened here. They were never clear with me. I've had very good seasons here. My numbers are good. It had been a long time since a Real forward did not do these numbers. I was waiting a bit here … I had many offers and I never wanted to leave La Real, I wanted to stay. My family was very happy here, me too, but things change very fast. And if you are not happy, why are you going to be? You have to continue life, you have to be content and happy with your work, with friends and with family ”.

He has not yet spoken with the Real: “I have to talk to the people of the club because they have not told me if I have to be in Zubieta on July 8 or not. I do not know. I have not spoken with Olabe, nor with Imanol. Well, I spoke with Imanol the day my daughter Julia was born and he congratulated me, but nothing more. I have not spoken anything about my future. There is a pending meeting, but I am very calm, I know that things will turn out as God wants and that we are all happy, which is the most important thing ”.
