Dani Carvajal, who spent most of his career at Real Madrid, recently left Club Blazons to join Getafe. The former full-back, born and raised in the cantera of the Spanish club, declared that he had experienced a very emotional farewell, describing the feeling of having been welcomed warmly by the fans and his teammates. "It was one of the best moments of my life. Feeling people being grateful for what I did and asking me to come back in the future is more significant than the titles," he explained, adding that now at Getafe he sees his new adventure as an exciting challenge.
Carvajal recalled some of the most important moments of his career: his presentation at the club, the conquest of the Décima (the tenth La Liga title) and his farewell to Madrid. “These memories still stay with me,” he said. “I was lucky enough to be part of a young and talented group, with players like Nacho, Morata and Joselu, who contributed to a twelve-year golden era.”
During the interview, the former player also spoke about his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who at 41 is still on course to reach the thousandth goal of his career. Carvajal said that “Ronaldo will reach 1000 goals, for sure, and he deserves it.” He praised Ronaldo's discipline and perseverance, underlining how his example was a model for many. “Before an important Champions League match, he told me: 'Listen, when you get there put the ball in the middle, I'll be there'. He was an imposing man, an area predator,” he recalled fondly.
The move to Getafe marks a new chapter in Carvajal's career, as he now prepares to compete in La Liga with a new group of teammates and a new coach. The Spanish club has expressed great enthusiasm for the arrival of the defender, who will bring with him his experience and competitive spirit. Carvajal stated that he is ready to give his all for the new club, hoping to contribute to the team's success and continue to grow as a player.
With his move to Getafe, Carvajal prepares to write a new chapter in his career, keeping alive his passion for football and his desire to compete at the highest level. The future sees him committed to making a difference on the pitch, with the hope of reaching new goals and leaving a lasting mark in La Liga.
