Valero wife: ‘CR7 name banned…’

By Football Italia staff

Borja Valero’s wife reflects on Fiorentina-Juventus meetings, but won’t discuss Cristiano Ronaldo - “that name is banned in the Valero household!”

Borja was a Viola fan favourite before being sold to Inter last summer, and played in a famous 4-2 victory over the Bianconeri in 2013.

“Mamma mia… shall I tell you about that 4-2?” Rocio Rodriguez Reina asked Corriere Fiorentino.

“I was a few months pregnant with Lucia and the gynaecologist told me to stay calm because I’d already been having contractions.

“Instead, at the stadium, I jumped and celebrated like never before. I remember every pass, and the faces of those who were sitting next to me. It’s impossible to forget.

“When Borja came out of the dressing room he wouldn’t shut up for a second! He’s a cool person, but that day he was too happy.”

Fiorentina face Juve on Saturday evening, but the visitors have Cristiano Ronaldo now…

“Who? That name is banned in the Valero household! When he left Real our son, Alvaro, banned us from saying it. He was his idol.”

The Viola can do Borja’s current club a favour tomorrow…

“Let’s hope they can give us this gift! I’m sure it will be a spectacle. We noticed right away Inter and Fiorentina have this in common, but above all Alvaro and Lucia noticed it.

“When they heard people trashing Juventus they felt at home.”
