The “rehabilitation” process of Poey and Portuondo has been battle against the International federation. The Cubans waited in silence for their revenge, and they have now become the main men of Roma’s breakthrough in this beginning of season.
“Our secret is that we have had the patience to wait – explained Portuondo – Roma treated us as if we were part of the squad, helping us to work like the others. We knew we had to make a great effort because training all week without playing at weekends could have taken its toll psychologically. Now, Ray and me are going to do everything possible for the club. We settled in the group without much problems, our teammates made it easy for us”.
