Robertlandy-Simon
The main reason for Simón’s desire to return to Italy after four years (Wixo LPR Piacenza 2012-2014), besides competing in probably the strongest national championship in the world such as Italian SuperLega, is the fact that he wants his daughter to be born in this European county and gain its citizenship.
“There are many things involved. I had already decided to return to Italy in 2019 but also there were problems with my contract. The birth of my daughter and the beginning of a new cycle in Cruzeiro that included launching many new players have a lot to do with it,” Simón explained in an interview to Bruno Voloch’s blog at Estadão Esportes why he wants to go to play for Lube.
“I spoke bluntly with Cruzeiro a few weeks ago about my desire to leave but they didn’t pay attention. There are things that are more important to a person than a fine, such as family and personal motivation. I loved Sada Cruzeiro, I gave everything for this jersey and expected much more understanding but they only sent threats. You ask me if the fine is fair? These are legal issues about which I can’t answer. I believe that intelligent people always come up with a solution. They know that my intention isn’t to return and also know the contractual problems,” the Cuban middle blocker spoke about the penalty that Cruzeiro set on him in case of leaving the club while still having a valid contract.
The contractual problems that Simón mentioned are in regard to the arrears for several months, including both 2016/17 and 2017/18 season.
