After more than 13 seasons on the island and over 400 official matches, the 'blanquiazul' captain is in a period of reflection about his future. The promotion to the Second Division has rekindled the fans' excitement, but uncertainty about their leader's permanence remains.
“"Right now, I don't have an answer. There are several very important aspects that I need to analyze carefully."
The midfielder has stated that his decision will depend not only on his physical condition but also on accumulated mental fatigue and family matters he considers priorities. He emphasized that daily motivation is as crucial as physical fitness at his age.
The interview also touched upon the transformation of CD Tenerife over the past year. The captain acknowledged that the squad was not isolated from the external noise during the institutional crisis that preceded relegation, admitting that the uncertainty affected the locker room.
The arrival of the new majority shareholder marked a turning point, bringing institutional stability and relief to the locker room. The captain highlighted this figure's personal commitment to the entity, risking their assets for the club, which was fundamental for the promotion project.
The promotion was not only a result of structure and planning but also of an emotional reconstruction within the locker room. The captain praised the coaching staff's work and the resilience of a largely new squad that had to cope with the pressure of being the category's favorite from day one.
“"Tenerife has become the club of my life. I no longer feel like I work for Tenerife; I feel like one of them."
After more than a decade on the island, the captain feels fully identified with the 'tinerfeñista' sentiment. The big question now is whether the 'blanquiazul' fans are preparing to bid farewell to one of their emotional benchmarks of recent decades, although the protagonist prefers not to rush his decision.
