José de Jesús Corona, a Xolos player, declared for ESPN regarding his departure from the Celestial Machine and that despite the fact that the president Víctor Velázquez and the directors Jorge ‘Vikingo’ Dávalos and José Luis ‘Chato’ Ortega expressed their intention for him to continue in the team, but this did not materialize because they did not reach an agreement to renew the contract and migrated to the border team for this Apertura 2023.
“There were different points of view from some characters on the board that are respected, but I would have liked at the time that they had been more frontal, that’s the only thing. From there it is more I respect how they see football and how they analyze it, the projections they have, what they want for the institution is respected, but I would have liked that at the time they had spoken to me with the truth, that they would have been more frontal and nothing else, it is the only thing, ”said Corona.
“I think that at the age that I am, with the years that I was in the institution, it was the minimum that I asked for, nothing more and there would have been no problem. I think that if at some point they told me things as they are, I would have enjoyed a little more my last days in Cruz Azul”.
Could you express that feeling to the president of the club, Víctor Velázquez?
“Yes, I had the opportunity to speak with him, really he (Víctor Velázquez) was one of the people who wanted me to stay, for which I also thank him, the circumstances did not exist, the forms were not given to be able to stay and not even speak, one must also be aware and understand that one must be where they want. Obviously there were people who no longer wanted me in the club, that is clear and that is obvious and not to mention, we also thank all those people, we wish them the best and they want me here, they wanted me here in Tijuana, so which I am very grateful that I have been given that opportunity and now I am enjoying it ”.
Corona pointed out that during the negotiation stage there were conflicting opinions regarding renewing his contract to play one last year in the first team, or giving way to the young Sebastián Jurado and Andrés Gudiño, who are goalkeepers for the Machine.
“I am very grateful to the people who tried to keep me, who sought in one way or another for me to stay, the ‘teacher’ (Jorge) Dávalos and the ‘teacher’ (José Luis) Ortega, the truth is I am very grateful to them for all their intention to help me in that aspect but in the end it was not achieved and there is no problem ”, he commented.
“I would have liked to have a farewell in an official match, obviously, but the circumstances arose in this way and no way.”
Likewise, Corona said that he does not have any negative feelings towards anyone in Cruz Azul and he will be happy to greet all his former teammates this Friday when La Máquina plays once morest the Xolos at the Caliente Stadium in Tijuana.
“I don’t hold a grudge once morest anyone, the truth is I am totally grateful to all the people who were working at the club, with all my teammates and technical directors,” he commented.
Finally, the Mexican goalkeeper commented on facing his former team Cruz Azul, who had worn his shirt for so many years.
“It’s going to feel strange following 14 years now to be sports rivals but hey, this is soccer, this is sport, they obviously want to beat us, for my part in the same way, now I owe myself to Tijuana, to Xolos, and from In the same way, I want to assert this house and we will do everything possible to make it a very attractive game, a game in which God wins Tijuana first, but simply the best man wins,” Corona declared.
“It will be something strange following so many years but we will continue to enjoy it too, they must understand that there are moments for everything, I had to be at the institution there at Cruz Azul at some point, leave everything at the club and now I will do it here, you know How professional I am, people will understand it and they know that where I am I am committed, honest and loyal”.
