Alex Bergantiños He is, above all, a self-made footballer. He has always been constant and responsible. Stubborn. He has enjoyed a long career that always had the virtue of gradually building himself as a footballer. He had delicate, hard moments, those that cost, but he never gave up, he persevered. With him there was always the same doubt and the same question. Will he be able to do at a higher level what he was offering in his previous team? And he always gave the level, always complied.
Álex Bergantiños, the blue and white legend who resisted the slamming of Deportivo doors
I remember the day I met Alex. I was coach of Factory and rose from the youth. It was there when we tested him as a midfielder, he used to play as a winger or a central defender. He did it wonderfully, he adapted phenomenally, he always had that ability. From there he grew and grew until he formed a great couple of pivots with Carlos Pita. For me it was one of the best ever in the subsidiary.
New era at Dépor without Álex on the field
and there was the Alex person, the Alex locker room He was always shy, quiet, but he exercised a silent leadership. He didn’t need to talk constantly, he didn’t need to be listened to all the time. That low profile didn’t mean he didn’t have a personality. When he spoke, he made himself heard, but without stridency. Always with a lot of balance, that’s how he did everything. Even so, where he liked to be noticed the most was always on the field, that was where he was most comfortable, where he expressed himself best. He always had superior tactical intelligence. He is the recoverer by definition and his game evolved, he also learned to move better, to understand the game. He not only enjoyed it, he also wanted to understand it, he wondered why everything. All this is preparing you to be a coach or for the role that you assume from now on in the Deportivo.
