Iker Vadillo: "I will always give my heart to Real Zaragoza"

One of the revelations of this season at Real Zaragoza has been Iker Vadillo, recently renewed until 2030 after being one of the most positive notes of preseason. The winger from Utebo has established himself in the first team and has already played two matches this season, starting on the left wing.

The club has published an interview on its official channels in which he speaks with his brother, Aritz, about what this rapid growth at the Aragonese club has meant for the attacker: "It has always been a dream for me, and now I have to keep working."

Vadillo has always carried his love for Real Zaragoza in his heart and fondly remembers the first time he went to La Romareda with his younger brother. "It was very special for me. In the end, it was the first match you went to with me, Real Zaragoza beat Oviedo 2-1 and we went to the reception. I don't know if you remember, but you were very happy, and it was very special for me," he says.

HIS DEBUT AGAINST ANTEQUERA

Iker made his debut as a starter against Antequera at Ibercaja Estadio, something the winger admits made him nervous because of the atmosphere in the stadium, but "I always dreamed of it and it finally came true." "When I posted the message saying I was starting, my mother apparently burst into tears, and it is also a reward for them for all the effort they have made," the attacker adds.

At the end of the conversation with his brother, Aritz, he states that "I will always give my heart to Real Zaragoza, for myself, for my family and for this badge." His brother also asks him to do it for Jorge Casado, an academy player at the Aragonese club who sadly died last year and had been Aritz's teammate in the club's youth ranks.
