Double and season debut in the Copa del Rey against CD Villamuriel.Raul de Tomas with his experience was expected could contribute to the weak position that Rayo currently holds But, since that moment, everything has gone from bad to worse.
After the first round of the Copa del Rey came Las Palmas and Sevilla, games in which RDT could be involved. In none of them did he even come out to warm up as a possible changeup. Something that was happening, but already in the press conference held before the game against “Athletic” club, everything started to be suspicious.
First symptom
There was talk about victims, and coach Inigo Perez’s first words did not take long to sow doubts and concerns. “Raul is going through a significant process of fluwhich prevented him from participating in training on the field.”
The second round against the Unionistas and RDT was still missing the bell. Maybe his flu was worse than everyone thought. At the end of the game he was asked about the player and he said: “About Raoul’s situation “Rayo” coach cannot say more than the president said.
hallway conversations
“He is absent at all, he is under control,” club president Martin Presa said before the game. This after rumors that the player is not reporting or responding to WhatsApp. “He is on sick leave and under the care of the club’s medical services. He has a general illness,” reaffirming what the coach said.
Rayo visited Mestalla. Once again, the anonymity of the victims and the player got mixed up at the table. “I already explained Raoul’s question at the time, and I’m not one to add or take words away from anyone.”– were the words of the people of Navarre before the game against Valencia.
Your companions
Without further ado, statements from his teammates were added, creating even more uncertainty about the player’s present. Oscar Trejo in one interview for MARCA He said: “We know little, because in the end they didn’t tell us anything, from what I talked to him, he is a little better. He had some problems, but we don’t know anything else.”
In turn, on the air of the MARCA radio station. Alvaro Garcia He expressed himself cautiously when he announced. “I don’t know what happened, they isolated us a bit.” This statement suggests the discretion with which matters are handled at Vallecas, reflecting the prudence and care that seems to prevail in the team’s environment.
