Opinions divided in the Valladolid fans regarding the return of Diego Costa
For some, the return of a crack like Diego Costa means a reason for happiness since the attacker’s talent is undeniable. Other more objective react critically since it is a footballer who is bordering on retirement. However, others are more realistic and question his current level which is not the best.
The main problem is that the striker has been out of competition for half a season after Atlético Mineiro terminated his contract. But before arriving in Brazil, he also had not competed officially for a long time when the Colchonero team did not want to renew it. These are long periods in which the striker has lowered his level considerably, however Ronaldo is confident that he will do a good job at José Zorrilla.
