Seijas retires
“There are days that one avoids and we don’t even like to imagine them. The time has come to say goodbye to what I have done all my life. Apart from getting trophies, triumphs, and many joys, I fell a lot and learned from defeats, but what I always wanted is that, when this day came, the people with whom I lived these 19 years would see me as a good person. I am not the one who decides that title, but I say goodbye to you with a clear conscience knowing that I always tried and, really, I hope I have achieved it”, commented Seijas, who had three steps through Santa Fe (2008-2011, 2014 -2016 and 2018-2021) in his message published on social networks.
“I don’t change anything about this trip, it has been ups and downs, joys and sorrows, character building and learning to lead. In the end, with successes and mistakes, football like life is a combination of these last two and having known how to fight against everything and take advantage of every opportunity without hurting anyone, is the secret. Thank you all for making this path the best memory of my life”he added.
Thanks to my parents, without their education none of this would have been possible, for putting up with my madness of opting for the unpredictable. Today being the father of two beautiful girls I can understand how hard it was. To my brothers for being unconditional, for being there when few were and for continuing when everyone wanted to be. Thank you Paula for having been my unconditional companion throughout this journey that has taken us to places we never thought we would reach, you have lifted me up in the moments when I have fallen and you have protected me cape and back against everything.
Thanks to the coaches, the physiotherapists, the kit men who make our work much less difficult every day, thanks to the fans for showing me their love at every moment, I will always carry them in my heart for the rest of this road that begins And finally, thanks little ball, I never expected anything in return, you made me happy without any effort, but at the end of the story you gave me absolutely everything“, concluded Seijas, who leaves football at 36 years old.
