Rodrigo Mendoza: Dream come true to play here, I'm over the moon | OneFootball

The latest signing for the red and white team, Rodrigo Mendoza, is already speaking as a new player for Atlético de Madrid. In statements to the club's official media, he analyzed what he can bring to the team by playing in different positions, as well as how the signing came about in the last hours of the market.

SIGNING FOR ATLÉTICO

"Very happy to be here. I was really looking forward to it. The truth is, it's a very exciting moment for me and for everyone around me. It's every child's dream to play in a team like this. I'm very happy."

PLAYING STYLE

"I'm a player who likes to be in contact with the ball, but lately, I play at the base of the midfield and I like it. In other years, I've been in more attacking positions, but I feel very comfortable at the base. Bringing out the ball, being in contact with the ball, and helping with the pace of the game."

HOW DID YOU EXPERIENCE YOUR SIGNING?

"It was crazy, really."

FIRST TRAINING WITH ATLÉTICO

"In the end, you find yourself surrounded by people who, before, when you were a child, you saw on TV. The welcome has been very good. Both the veterans and the younger players have welcomed me very well, and the truth is, there's a really good, very good group."

METROPOLITANO

"I was here with Elche, in the stadium. The truth is, it impressed me a lot, despite having been here a while ago, because if I remember correctly, I don't know if it was the first game here in the stadium. I think it was the first game. I came here with my family and it surprised me a lot, but of course, seeing it as a player is something else. In the end, you experience it much more, and well, the fans surprised me a lot, all the people supporting, and the truth is, it's crazy."
