Mariano: "I am grateful to J. Lopetegui for allowing me to return to Real"

Julen Lopetegui's time at Madrid's "Real" club ended quickly and not very successfully, but "Real" striker Mariano Diaz is grateful to the coach for the opportunity given to him. Mariano, who was the last striker called up to the team after Cristiano Ronaldo left, expressed his support and respect to the coach. He thanked the coach for giving him a second chance at the Spanish club. "I will always be grateful to J. Lopetegui, he is one of those who gave me the opportunity to come back home. I wish him the best of luck. Now we have to fight even harder to get out of this situation," the player wrote on his Twitter account. The striker's only goal at the Madrid club, since returning to the team, was scored in the Champions League against the "Roma" team, when "Real" secured a 3-0 victory. This is one of the coach's most memorable moments in the team.
