"It is a week that makes you think. Because it is what we love doing most, what we are most passionate about, what we have been doing all our lives, and you think about Jesús, the dreams he had, the sacrifices he made throughout his life, his son, and it is difficult," said the Zaragoza academy graduate, visibly moved by an event that has shaken Spanish football.
Real Zaragoza therefore observed an emotional minute of silence at Tuesday's training session, where the lack of the enthusiasm that usually characterizes Ibai Gómez's side was evident. "We were all emotionally low, shaken, because it makes you think. From here, I want to send lots of love to his family, everyone around him and Tenerife, for whom these must be horrible days," said the club's first captain.
POSSIBLE POSTPONEMENT
Following the terrible tragedy, AFE (the Spanish Association of Footballers) is working to try to have all Spanish football suspended this coming weekend. "I understand anyone who thinks, obviously, that everything should stop. How could I not understand that given a situation as difficult as this? But it is not my place to make decisions, nor am I the person who has to decide," Ander Herrera said.
"What I have to do now is my job every day, try to be ready for the weekend and leave the decisions to the people who have to make them," stressed the midfielder, who on Wednesday was tasked with conveying the feelings of an Aragonese club that, understandably, is going through difficult days following Jesús de Miguel's tragic death.
