The days for Rodolfo Zelaya to wear the number “22” again in his pampered Alliance is shortening since, in the opinion of the player himself, that possibility will be a reality as long as the efforts he makes with his promoter so that Celaya FC from the Liga de Ascenso MX will cancel your 2020 salary until they successfully finish by the first week of May.
“In the team they have already arranged with some players who were under contract until May and the coaching staff, otherwise with me since they have taken a long time, I hope that at the end of the other week they will give us an answer. I think also with the other foreigners are the same the situation, we had spoken that we would wait until Wednesday of this week but the team spoke with my representative and has achieved the promise of the own president of Celaya (Alan Achar) that my case will be solved the other week “, highlighted the usuluteco player.
He added that “the team has not explained to me, the disorganization in Celaya is enormous, they send you from one place to another to speak and nobody gives you a concrete answer, if I cannot obtain a prompt solution then I will proceed to give a statement to the Mexican Soccer Federation to initiate a process against the club for breach of contract, “said the Usuluteco attacker who played only six games and scored two goals with the Blue and Whites’ team.
Zelaya was signed by Celaya FC on January 7, but as a result of the FMF’s stance of freezing the promotion to Liga MX for the next five years, it opened the door for the player to seek full payment of his contract for one more year. awards that the aztec club agreed to pay him.
“I want to negotiate with the leaders, I have that option, if so, my case will take longer but I can rest easy in that process. They never fix anything in Celaya, there is no administrative order, nobody gives you details of your situation” , She complained.
“They have paid me a month of salary (February) and 20% of another month (January), they have only paid me almost a month and a half and we must negotiate the months pending salary plus awards and a bonus for signing with Celaya, what All I need is a concrete answer, they promised me that they would give me that answer this Wednesday, but given the president’s promise to intervene directly, we are going to wait another week before taking another step in the case, “he said.
He added that “we know that the FMF will give money to all the teams in the second division to cover the pending salary issues in the league, I understand that the teams have already received them and that is why I am asking to be canceled to sign my settlement and be released, “he said.
Fito Zelaya recognizes that, like the rest of the world, he would never have imagined a situation like the one that is happening right now.
“It is the first time that a league in which I play has been suspended as the way they have canceled promotion in Mexico for five years. Since March 20, when I am unemployed, without playing, the decision made by the FMF is complicated for Mexican players since one from abroad does not affect much but the unemployment of nationals is enormous, it is a decision that must be respected, despite the protests that took place individually first and then through the player’s commission they were asked to desist , but the decision was already made, “he said.
ALLIANCE IN THE LOOK
Rodolfo Zelaya admits that there are conversations with the capital’s leadership to wear the meringue shirt again, but first he must fix his contractual situation with Celaya FC
“When I am definitively free, I return to the country with my family, I really must fix my situation, there were talks with Alianza, my first option is them, I admit that there was another tempting offer from one of the country’s big teams, but Alianza told me about that possibility , There are many things to talk with them, my representative is also looking at other options, but my interest in returning to the Alliance is real, I can even say that I have even lowered my salary to sign with the Alliance, the other team that offered bids as soon as to salary and other benefits, but I want to play with Alianza, I repeat I did not mind lowering my salary, but once you do not sign your settlement with Celaya first, I cannot guarantee anything, “he said.
Regarding his decision to lower even the salary he intended to earn on his return to the Alliance, Zelaya confessed that “I decided to lower my salary to try to reach an agreement with the team and play in the Alliance because my desire is to retire in the Alliance,” said the player. who sees as a point in his favor the fact that he is standing still in national football.
“The time it takes to be able to play can help me reach my physical point to fully enter a preseason, I am willing to return to the country to quarantine with my family if required, I really want to return to the country but My administrative problem with Celaya prevents me from doing it at the moment. ”
