The right-handed Mexican midfielder Jesús ‘Tecatito’ Corona commented this Monday, in his presentation as a Sevilla footballer, that he has “many positive emotions in his stomach” and feels “happy to be here”, since he had been “seeking to come for quite some time”.
Corona explained that “a year ago and a half that had talks” with coach Julen Lopetegui, who already directed him at Porto, and with Óliver Torres, his teammate in the Portuguese team, who made “the greater desire” to sign for Sevilla, with the one that has “become familiar” in the distance to understand that it is “a strong team that has won six Europa Leagues”.
Lopetegui’s praise for the player from Sonora makes him “feel grateful” and will push him “to work every day to repay that confidence that the Basque coach has shown”, who he always “tells him to enjoy football, which is the m to stand out”.
Tecatito commented that “the welcome was spectacular”, because “everyone has behaved phenomenally” since his arrival and this will make ” the fit is easier”, since he also brings references from his compatriot Chicharito Hernández, a former Sevilla player, who “has told him wonders about the club and the city”.
Sevilla’s first winter signing is the fourth Mexican in the club’s history following in the footsteps of Torrado , Miguel Layún and Chicharito, who were not very successful, so for him “it is a goal to make history in a club with a lot of history” and in a football, the Spanish, “with a great impact in Mexico”.
On the eve of his presentation, Tecatito Corona played his first minutes as a Sevilla player in the Cup defeat against Betis (2- 1) and regretted having “started off on the wrong foot” in a “very strange match”, due to the suspension and immediate resumption after the attack suffered by his partner Joan Jordán.
Corona said that he has “had the opportunity to see this morning in the sports city” the Catalan midfielder, absent from the second part of the clash due to medical prescription, and “he is fine”, although “a little scared as anyone would be”.
