Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo, Monchi, atendió a GOL en la noche del lunes y dejó varios titulares. El que fuera director deportivo del Sevilla, actualmente en el Aston Villa, habló sobre la figura de Isco y valoró la derrota del equipo nervionense (2-1) en el derbi disputado el pasado domingo en el Benito Villamarín. Al ser cuestionado por el jugador del Betis, Monchi afirmó que “es un magnífico jugador, extraordinario”. “Conviví poco con él, pero me dicen que es buena persona“, añadía antes de reconocer que “lo que le está pasando seguro que lo está mereciendo porque lo pasó mal y la salida del Sevilla no fue la idónea“.
Mucho se ha hablado de la relación entre ambos, pero el de San Fernando aclara: “Soy de las personas con menos ganas de tener enemigos del mundo. Las personas que se curran su recorrido, que le vengan bien las cosas. Esa historia tiene muchos matices que algún día, ahora no es el momento, se contarán. Cuando salió Isco no nos fue mal y a él tampoco le va mal, así que todos contentos”.
Monchi hizo referencia también a un vídeo que se hizo viral recientemente en el que un aficionado le pregunta por Isco y su salida del Sevilla. El gaditano entiende que “de ese vídeo hay que quedarse con algo que no le deseo a nadie: que es que rompen la intimidad de cualquiera, iba de casa de mi madre a mi casa…”. Y añadía: “Sabéis que soy espontáneo en mi manera de ser. A nadie le tiene que pasar cosas así. Dije eso como podía haber dicho cualquier cosa. Ni me vanaglorio, ni presumo de lo que dije. Es romper tu intimidad en un sitio en el que te sientes cómodo. Lo saludé como a un paisano más y se quiso hacer el gracioso a costa mía”.
El Betis mereció el triunfo y pudo saborear un recuerdo que para muchos era antiguo
Como sevillista, el director deportivo del Aston Villa estuvo pendiente del derbi frente al conjunto verdiblanco, un encuentro donde “desgraciadamente las cosas no salieron bien y el Betis fue merecedor del triunfo después de muchos años y pudo saborear un recuerdo que para muchos era antiguo“. “Como le decía a mi hijo, no hay mayor título que ser sevillista. Mañana nos levantaremos y volveremos a ser sevillistas, eso es lo más grande que hay. Afortunadamente hemos ganado más en los últimos años, ahora toca darles la enhorabuena porque fueron merecedores, fueron mejores en la preparación y en el partido”, comentó. “He leído a mucha gente criticar la celebración, los derbis hay que celebrarlos como lo celebraron ellos. Todos sabemos lo que es un derbi en Sevilla”, señalaba.
Cada vez que atiende a algún medio, a Monchi le preguntan por una futura vuelta al Sevilla. La respuesta la tiene preparada: “Es una pregunta que tenía preparada. Ahora mismo mi cabeza está en el partido del miércoles. Hay muchas cosas ilusionantes en el Aston Villa. Ellos me recogieron de manera cariñosa, me siento querido, comodísimo aquí con mi departamento. Soy feliz. Echo de menos muchas cosas de España, pero ahora mismo mi felicidad es equiparable al Aston Villa. Quiero centrarme en este presente tan bonito”.

New Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow reveals why he took a one-year hiatus from the NFL before making his return
Getty Images Wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is one step closer to an NFL comeback. On Sunday, the Carolina Panthers announced they had signed the 29-year-old slot weapon. The former Las Vegas Raiders wideout reportedly worked out for both the Panthers and Raiders last month after sitting out the 2024 season, and now has landed a deal following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft. Renfrow is a South Carolina native who became a Clemson legend by winning two College Football Playoff national championships -- including in 2017, when he caught the game-winning pass from Deshaun Watson to defeat Alabama. The Raiders selected Renfrow in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he recorded two 100-yard outings in his first NFL season. Renfrow's best season came in 2021, when he caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns -- leading […]
Steelers draft picks, grades: 1 thing Pittsburgh didn’t do and the 1 thing it definitely got right
Getty Images Good things come to those who wait. In some ways, that was the story of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 draft. On more than one occasion during the three-day event, a player who was on Pittsburgh's radar was there for the taking when the Steelers were on the clock. While they had considered trading back in the first round, they stayed put when it became apparent that drafting Oregon's Derrick Harmon with the 21st pick might be a possibility. That is ultimately what happened, as the Steelers were able to fill their biggest pre-draft need (defensive line) with one of the draft's top-ranked defensive lineman prospects. History seemed to repeat itself throughout Pittsburgh's draft. In the third round, the Steelers filled another key nee when they drafted Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson, who was expected to go off the board sooner […]

Burrell strikes as Burton claim Wigan point to secure League One safety
Rumarn Burrell was on target as Burton claimed the point they needed to secure League One safety in their penultimate match of the season following a 1-1 draw with Wigan at Pirelli Stadium.The striker's 11th goal of the campaign looked to have given Albion all three points until Ronan Darcy curled in an effort from distance in the closing moments of second-half stoppage time to claim a share of the spoils. The hosts were all but secure ahead of the game - courtesy of their goal difference - but their point confirmed relegation for both Crawley and Bristol Rovers ahead of the final weekend of the season.The first half was lacking in clear goal attempts from either side. Albion started positively but could not fashion a clear chance on Sam Tickle's goal.Charlie Webster - on his return from suspension - […]
