Nacho Fernandez is a new player for Al Qadsiah. The news, which officially emerged a few hours ago, confirmed the rumors that have emerged in recent days: the Spanish defender has signed a two-year contract and will play in Michel’s team. On the occasion of the press conference held today in the retreat of the Red Furiesin the midst of the European Championships in Germany, the 34-year-old player wanted to comment on the decision to leave Real Madrid and the Old Continent to land in Arabia.
Explanation. “I needed a new experience. I never imagined having a finish like that at Real Madrid (winning the fifteenth Champions League, ed.). It was a very difficult and well-considered decision. I told my wife that the affection that I have experienced in recent days is the greatest title of my career”, Nacho’s words taken from Brand.
Saudi Arabia considered choice. “I’ve been at the club all my life. I could have lasted one more year, but here nothing matters other than being at the highest level. There’s nothing left for me to win with this shirt. That doesn’t mean I no longer have ambitions. I understand that many find this decision strange. I have always made good decisions and this one was very premeditated. I had doubts about last season – explained the Spaniard – but I think that such a good ending was impossible. Sometimes you don’t play and you think you have to play and that influences the decision, but it was more the passing of days and months.”
