Fortunately, he did not fall into addictions"."Raymundo was always a kid who did not have an authority figure present; so, he has grown up and has lived with many freedoms. He even already has a son. That overwhelmed him a lot, because in the basic forces of Veracruz, what he received did not It was enough to support his son. On average, the kids earned 8,000 pesos and Raymundo earned a little more than all of them, perhaps 15 or 20,000 pesos, but it was not enough."He explained that Raymundo Fulgencio "was absent a lot from training, it 'hit' him that they didn't let him see his son, because he lived with his mother... I tried to help him and guide him so that he could focus a little more on his career, because we all knew that he was a guy with a great future in football, but that he was a little disoriented".All ESPN content can be enjoyed via streaming with Star+.Subscribe NOW.He pointed out that he hopes that currently, the feline player is calmer and has entered a process of maturity, while, on the other hand, José Luis González China described Raymundo Fulgencio as a "light and skilful" player, who is similar to his dad in footballOn the other hand, Filiberto Fulgencio does not agree so much that his son and he are alike in his game, because in his time soccer was played differently.However, he was full of praise for Raymundo: "He is a boy with characteristics very different from what you can normally see in a normal player. I speak to you as a connoisseur, not as his father. Because I could still tell you that he is the resurrection of Cristiano Ronaldo, but it wouldn't be appropriate on my part either."Filiberto Fulgencio , who earned nicknames like 'Filiful' or 'Fifu' in his time as a soccer player with teams like Veracruz, Necaxa and Puebla, among other Mexican soccer clubs, stated that the main quality of the Tigres player, "is the hand in hand and the good center of the ball"."In Monterrey I heard some reporters say: 'He doesn't have a left foot'... I saw him shoot with his left foot, with his right, and he shoots them exactly the same, although with a little more precision with his right. But he can play you on both sides. With sub 20 he scored about 20 goals and they were with the left".He also expressed: "Raymundo has soccer to play at another level and not just in Mexico; as long as he decides one hundred percent, to do what he likes."He pointed out that when Raymundo arrived at the Tigres, before the pandemic, people began to question him why he was taking him to that club, if 'Tuca' Ferretti did not give young people a chance: "And I remember very well the words del 'Tuca': 'Fifu, the boys who come to Tigres throw themselves into the hammock, because they have a good salary and a good car".It was true that "Raymundo arrived from Veracruz being a good player, with how little or how much González China took care of him. With 'Tuca' he learned to play and Miguel [Herrera] is the one who is releasing him, because Miguel plays towards him forward and Reymundo's features are clearly forward, so now he's learned how to do it better."Raymundo came to his mind during his childhood: "I remember when we used to travel, when I played in Celaya, in Querétaro, in Cruz Azul... Back in Veracruz on vacation, he always narrated the games in the car and He told his mother: 'When I play in the First Division with my dad, you're going to stay home and I'm going to go play with my dad, and I'm going to buy his truck. Those dreams came true right now."On the other hand, on the subject of indiscipline of his son, Filiberto Fulgencio maintained: "He is a very noble boy, who allows his ear to be sweetened very quickly by people outside the family circle."He explained that both he, his mother and his current partner, in addition to his agent, advise him so that he can carry out his career smoothly.Regarding the recommendations that he makes to Raymundo, he tells him that this is a short race and that depending on how he takes it, it can be shortened or made longer.And that at the top he will always have friends, but when he is down, he will always have his family and the woman who loves him.'Fiful' hopes that his son will finish maturing, now that he is making his way in Mexican soccer."Think of Qatar, son," he tells him to motivate him."Today I see him well, I see him committed, I see him involved; maybe not at '100', but at '90', because as you know, there are always distractions for a 22-year-old boy with money and fame, but there you will always see the conviction and commitment that you have".
