The wind music was only broken by applause for three footballers who, at different stages, have been important to the club: Pichu Cuéllar, Jony Rodríguez and Aitor García. The three finished their stage at Sporting yesterday. Also Cachero, historical doctor. Two of them (Cuéllar and Aitor) did it in the green; Jony, meanwhile, had to resign himself to following the project’s painful defeat from the stands. With him, his wife and his daughters. You support him. The defeat stung a lot. But what really brought tears to the stands, the squad, these three players and, of course, their families was knowing that it was the last day they wore the rojiblanca. The three of them ended up jumping onto the pitch (Cuéllar and Aitor had already been replaced, and Jony did not dress short) to repay the public all the love for these years. Aitor, even, could not contain the tears; and, at the end, he burst into tears, with his child in his arms, and his hand on his heart. Before Pichu and Aitor the public had the opportunity to applaud them when they were changed. The captain received hugs from everyone: colleagues, assistants… Even the Animation stands had a gesture with him.
“You never get used to the idea of detaching yourself from something that you consider your home. You wake up from a dream and it is a nightmare. Trying to separate yourself from something that you are comfortable with, that you live with day to day fills you up. It is professional growth every day after day. It hurts me a lot to leave. But you have to accept the decisions and make yourself strong,” confessed Pichu Cuéllar from the El Molinón press room. The captain said goodbye as the third goalkeeper with the most caps (247) wearing the rojiblanca jersey, and surpassed a historic player like Sion. Supported by the captains and Joaquín, who recognized him for all these years, he remembered his most special moment, the rise of the Guajes, and he was empathetic with Guillermo de Amores. “I was worried about the situation of my teammate Guille (De Amores). From here I want to thank Guille, Flo, Petr and Sariego, the goalkeeping coach. Guille deserved to play. I asked the club to play because it was important for me to play. I wanted him to Guille participated, because he also deserved it,” he explained. “It seems that I am retiring. But I am not retiring. I want to continue playing. I say goodbye to the fans. But not from football. I will be available to any team,” he admitted. In the back of the press room, Jony couldn’t hold back the tears at the accumulation of memories. He had to say goodbye in the background. But with the intensity and emotion of always. Before he had said goodbye on social networks. “As everything in life has its beginning and its end, today (yesterday) mine arrived in the team of my life, and it did not come the way I wanted and wanted… This last year and a half has been very hard on an individual and collective level, nothing has turned out as we all would have wanted, but I would not like to leave without stressing that my commitment and my desire to be well have been the maximum”, he explained.
