“Hello Martial, how are you? Welcome to La Liga and Sevilla, to a great Spanish club and one of the biggest in Europe. With fans and a city that are incredible. Good luck, I wish you the best and see you soon. The words of the owner of Real Valladolid, in Spanish D2, since 2018, moved the French international.
Sevilla sporting director Monchi told Anthony Martial that his France team partner Jules Koundé and former Monaco team-mate Lucas Ocampos had told him that “Ronaldo was one of your idols. So we wanted him to welcome you.” The former Brazilian striker played for Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in Spain, but never for Sevilla FC, which did not prevent him from sending this message to the Frenchman.
During his presentation to the media, the former Lyon and Monaco player expressed his desire to revive, he who has only played 11 games this season with the Red Devils. “I think Sevilla is the perfect place to be able to play again,” said Anthony Martial. Other clubs wanted to bring me, but Sevilla was my first wish. I hope to do great things here and win something. »
