John Capdevilaformer player of Espanyol, Atlético de Madrid, Villarreal, Deportivo and Benfica who was champion of the 2010 World Cup with Spain, said in the program ‘Let’s Show’ who was “one word away” from signing for Real Madrid.
“I was about to sign for Real Madrid and just because of a word I didn’t sign… Because of a word I didn’t sign!”commented the world champion.
“Florentino Pérez said no… and I said yes”Capdevila joked with Nacho Pena (Radio MARCA collaborator), Sara Carmona, Richard Salamanca y Andres Palop.
In his participation in ‘Vamos Show’, the 46-year-old former soccer player “tells us how the team relaxed by drinking Cola Cao before the games (although we suspect they were drinking something else). In addition, he admits that Iker Casillas’ famous save on the shot Robben was thanks to him. We mention his outstanding career at Deportivo, the club of his life, and his brief time at Atlético de Madrid.”
