Ronnie Fernández after his presentation: “The U has to be above the names”

On Tuesday, Ronnie Fernández was officially presented as the new reinforcement of Universidad de Chile, an opportunity in which he highlighted what it means to reach one of the “great” teams of Chilean football. At a press conference, Fernández said that “I am very happy and grateful for this step in my career. I take it with a lot of responsibility. My delivery will always be available to the institution.” I come to give myself 100% to the needs of the team. I’m very competitive. Regardless of the names that come and those that don’t, the U has to be above the names,” he added. In addition, he stressed that “I come to a club that has a very important resonance, an institution that has national and international prestige. It’s a challenge I’ve been waiting for a long time ago.” Asked about coach Santiago Escobar, the attacker said that “yesterday we crossed words, we greeted each other, we shared phrases of close and known players with him. Outside of that, there are moments for sports. The physical and the tactical from tomorrow we will see.” It should be remembered that Universidad de Chile has already confirmed the additions of Ronnie Fernández, Jeisson Vargas, Felipe Seymour and Hernán Galíndez, while José María Carrasco would be made official soon.
