Win three Champions Leagues It is not an easy task. Only a select few in the world of football have the opportunity to participate in something assimilable and Marion Caldentey (Felanitx, Mallorca, 28 years old) has it within his reach to achieve it if Barcelona wins this afternoon (6:00 p.m.) at Lyon Olympic in the grand final of San Mamés. “We have three titles and we have one left,” he commented after winning the Queen’s Cup in La Romareda.
The Balearic Islands live for football. He has never hidden it. But if there is something that cannot be missing in your life beyond this sport, it is your land. The island is always the place to return to after finishing a hard season. “When you arrive you can be with your people, in your town, with your family and have that peace of mind. Being in Mallorca, she disconnects and charges the energy. That is very important because she is a very top player who has a great responsibility.” Comments Pilar Espadas, who was able to share a locker room with her throughout the entire stage in the OUT Collerense (Palma de Mallorca). There, as the Blaugrana footballer says in an interview with Diario Mallorca, it can be ‘Mariona without the ball.
“She has always been very cheerful. She is a quiet girl, neither very outgoing nor shy. For me she is sensible, very responsible and smiling, always has a smile on his mouth. She is not very crazy, nor a party animal, she is calmer,” says Espadas. In this aspect, she also highlights a curious love for the piano that she showed during the pandemic through her networks. “Whenever I see a piano, I want to play it . “It’s something that relaxes me,” she told the RFEF microphones.
“SHE DECIDED MATCHES”
With the ball at her feet, in Coll de’n Rebassa she demonstrated what she had already been pointing out since she was competing in the lower categories in mixed football, that she was one of those players who was going to reach high places: “When we shared a team, she has decided matches. It had a different quality. and one against one and an impressive vision of the game. He saw the pass where no one else did. I was a striker and she gave me many goals scored or scoring actions that she was the only one capable of seeing them.. That is a privilege and a pride for me to have had her and to have been able to share it with her,” says her former partner.
But Caldentey not only shines as a Blaugrana, she also does so with the national team, for which she has just been called up by Montse Tomé for the next qualifying matches against Denmark. The summer with La Roja was not easy, he decided to go to the World Cup despite having resigned months before with Wildbut what happened with Jennifer Hermoso in the celebration she overshadowed the title achieved in the final against Australia, where she was one of the protagonists assisting Olga Carmona.
According to Espadas, his way of being has not changed and he continues to maintain contact: “For me the most important thing is that they remember their old capiI congratulate her and all those who are away at Barça (Patri Guijarro and Cata Coll) for their victories and, like this time, when there are important games I try to send them a message and it is always answered with great affection. She is a top player. The humility that characterizes them, remembering their former teammates and their club and carrying the Collerense name around the world as they do, makes us feel very proud,” she says.
This is Mariona Caldentey, a player who, with that unconditional support, could win the four titles disputed. A complete success.
