At that time, the player closed the 19-20 season with only 10 games and just 600 minutes. It was mainly because of the injuries, which had almost always respected him to the point of suffering his first injury since childhood the previous season. But the next League, that of the stoppage due to the pandemicIt was the hardest, with two major injuries.
But Nacho endured, came back stronger and time has placed him in a position few imagined. He also had doubts at the end the second season of Ancelotti’s first stage (14-15), after which he seriously considered leaving his home.
But now he is certain that he was right to endure and believe.
