Toto Rodríguez and Tomi Ruiz, from Junior to Los Leones
Nicolás Rodríguez and Tomás Ruiz were the strongholds of the junior team in the last World Cup. The Cordoban was the wall, while the miterro carried the ribbon and the team on his shoulders, although this time they will use their weapons to make Los Leones shine in the Pro League.
Destined to captain, Tomi Ruiz could not begin a new tour without recognizing the work that Toto did to get where he is today: “It makes me very happy that you are traveling, because the truth is that we have known each other for a lot of previous processes and I know how hard he works to come and go, so, from my side, I wish him the best and that he plays with ease.
This call could dictate Rodríguez’s debut for the senior team, that is why the tension is different, but the feeling is the same: “I think that since it is the first time, I have a little nerves and anxiety, but hey, I want to be able to betravel and experience the preview of the matches”, he began by elucidating Toto.
And he continued: “It was all very fast, I knew that at some point it could happen and I never expected it to be so fastbut happy to be able to be in the national team and, especially for the eldest, it is a great source of pride.”
In addition to his abilities on the field, Tomás highlighted what Nicolás gives to the teams he forms, off the field: “It is a source of pride, not only for the quality of the player he is, but as people, I think that’s also what he brings to the team. It is a quality of human person that cannot be achieved everywhere.”.
To finish, Toto He returned kindness and threw a couple of flowers at Ruiz: “I highlight the effort he has, the discipline and that he is always a machine on the field.. He tries to move forward, to support and I think that has a lot of value, because it is difficult to find players like that, who are always moving forward, who are getting stronger and stronger. If you have Tomi, you have two more players, because he defends like a beast, so I am very happy to always have him on my team”Rodríguez closed.
