Former player talks about Lopetegui: He is one of the most important people in my career. He cried and apologized to me after class

Oliver Torres, the former Sevilla player, recently spoke about his former coach Lopetegui in an interview and said that he was one of the most important people in his career. Lopetegui cried and apologized to himself after class.

Despite his ups and downs, Oliver Torres is still one of the players who wrote a wonderful chapter in Sevilla's glory days. Now in Mexico, he looks back on this journey fondly. In a lengthy chat with former Sevilla team-mate Layun, the attacking midfielder recalled his farewell to Lopetegui.

During his time at Sevilla, Oliver experienced both peaks and troughs, the most important of which was under Lopetegui - he called Lopetegui "one of the most important people in my career." According to his account: "I told the club that if they want to make changes after such a long time, I completely understand. But the club said at the time that they had no intention of doing so." However, everything changed on the last day of the transfer window.

"On August 31st, Lopetegui called me to the office. Lopetegui told me that I would not be included in the Champions League roster and gave me a few hours to find a new home. I called my family and they suggested that I stay and fight for La Liga or any other position I needed. " The old Sevilla general recalled.

"But after five games, Lopetegui was fired. He came to me crying and apologized, saying it was a mistake in his life. I told him it didn't matter, just keep going. I didn't give up either - I ended up playing in the Europa League final in Budapest and winning the title." He sees the experience as an example of never giving up when things get tough.

"At the age of 30, I decided to completely change my life. Now it seems that this is the best decision in my life. I have become a better version of myself, both professionally and personally. I don’t want to spend my time in the Monterrey team. " At the end of the podcast, he summarized the transition of his life from Sevilla to Mexico.
