The situation of James Rodriguez and Raúl de Tomás remains stranded at Rayo Vallecano: neither of them has had a leading role in Íñigo Pérez’s team this season and They do not enter into the technician’s planswhich It does not mean that both have been separated of the dynamics of the group, as the club denied this Sunday.
“The information that has come out this week about the two players They are flatly false, no one is separated“said David Cobeño, Rayo’s sports director, in the run-up to the duel between the Madrid team and Betis, to deny the rumors that the squad had decided to remove the Colombian and the Spaniard, who were not part of the squad against the Betis.
The former soccer player also asserted that the franjirroja entity “He always behaves very well with all the players who pass through the club”, and specified that “it seems ugly that, especially with Raúl de Tomás, they are influencing him, because I think that he is a magnificent boy“He has always had a very good behavior with us.”
“I want to make that clear, that Raúl has nothing to do with the information that comes out and what is said about him. He is quite the opposite, very good people, the locker room loves him very much,” added Cobeño, who wished to be able to “settle this matter, because it is true that the coach and the team are tired of it.”
Íñigo Pérez has also spoken out on the matter, who has been blunt: “I can’t speak, but the group has not separated anyone. The club has not separated anyone. It annoys me that it is said that this locker room, which is commendable, does that. Maybe they say it knowing it’s a lie so they can come here and tell more.. “They’re not going to get it.”
