1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th According to the Marca report, 39-year-old Villarreal defender Albiol was interviewed and reviewed his career and talked about his plans for the future. Note: Albiol and Villarreal’s contract expired on June 30 this year. He has played for clubs such as Real Madrid, Valencia, Naples and Villarreal, and has played 842 official games.
Controversy caused by referee issues in recent years
Albiol: “To be honest, I don’t participate in these discussions about whether the referee favors one side or other related topics, because I think it’s a waste of time. As a player, you must ultimately focus on your work and achieve your goals by improving yourself.”
I regret not being able to play for Valencia Club
Albior: “One summer I almost returned to Valencia from Naples, but in the end I stopped the transfer myself. I couldn’t see that the Valencia club would be stable. I was doing well in Italy, fighting for the championship, and I had adapted well to that city.”
About joining Villarreal after returning from Italy: “I’m 34 years old Many clubs were skeptical of such veterans, but Villarreal extended an olive branch to me, I promised them that I would repay their trust, and I believe both of us did it. I had a very happy life in Villarreal, which is my hometown and the club I always liked. It turned out that I chose Villarreal, which was the right decision. “
