Question: I imagine it will be a very special few hours beforehand…
Answer. A lot, really. A few years have passed since he left, but my father is always very present for Marbella and Atlético. When the Marbella leaders called me, they gave us the best possible gift.
Q. Not everyone knows about Radomir's relationship with Marbella…
R. We came to Marbella in 95, thanks to Jesús Gil. We spent a summer here, the Doublet. Since then we have not stopped coming and we bought a house. We've all been together this Christmas. My father came to Marbella to disconnect. For him it was his 'vitamin' place and for us it is too.
For my father Marbella was his 'vitamin' place

Q. Everything comes together then, Marbella, Atlético, family…
R. Atlético de Madrid in my father's time carried the advertising for Marbella. We have many photos of him wearing that shirt. Marbella is going to play a historic match at La Rosaleda. For Atlético de Madrid it is also a good moment. For us as a family it will be incredible. He will be watching us from wherever he is.
Q. Do you still notice that affection?
R. There is not a day that goes by that we are not reminded of the love they had for him. They recognize us for it and it is a pride for us who dedicate ourselves to football and fashion.
Q. What was the Antic like that people didn't know? And the coach?
R. It was another time. The coaches had a lot of direct contact with the players. He said they were like his children. He brought their problems home. We have many friends who have been his players and that is a source of pride. He saw his former teams and players even after he retired and we have experienced it up close.”
Q. And that football poison stayed in the family…
R. My daughter wants to be a representative and my two nephews play in the lower categories. We all love getting together on a field or on TV to watch a good game, especially in the Champions League.
P. Radomir had that way of explaining football that everyone liked…
R. He was lucky to see football in a very clear way. He also expressed himself very well. He was always very honest and very human. When he passed away we received messages from everyone who knew him. People came out to thank us for his figure and that will be with us forever.”
Q. Complicated question… Who will the family go with?
R. May the best win, but let it be a tie until extra time. There is a lot of difference between the two, but not in desire. The excitement is very great in Marbella. It has been a Christmas gift for everyone. We hope to enjoy it.
