“Garnacho was a ‘street boy’, from a Getafe neighborhood, and we immediately decided to transfer him to the club’s hotel, because he was not a good student. He was smarter than the rest of the boys, but he became troublesome. He was a scoundrel and did not behave well inside the hotel.

We ended up winning 6-0 and the entire coaching staff expected a negative reaction from him, a complaint or indiscipline. But it was the opposite.
