It does not do so much that the parish of the Athletic one was shouting Kings: Viking!, correcting him of unworthy. True it is that reasons existed for the dissatisfaction of the keen mattress-makers with the yield of the attacker utrerano. Also, his stay in the Manzanares was determined by his recent step along Real Madrid, to which it gave a Championship of League with his goals. The product: a crack of scarce reputation for the athletic ones. They were not late in there appeared the effects of the provoked wounds — in his presentation neither more nor less — and, convinced in the difficult of his recovery, the fans found arguments to indicate the Sevillian one like traitor.

Two years after his arrival to the Caldron, and previous step along the Benfica, José Antonio has managed to redeem himself, and has done it by means of good soccer. On Sunday, against the Barcelona, it went out again ovacionado for the step, which this player sees in him desequilibrante and decisive that was waiting does two, even three periods, when it flirted with the Atleti before leaving to the eternal rival. That one hurt really, and perhaps it was one of the motives for which many went so far as to whistle, to insult him him, to hate him. Who knows if the exhibition before the champion of the world owes to secret motives; who knows if so much waste only was destined to do him a favor to his ex-team to leave him to two points of the leader … There will Be the one who still thinks it, they do not create.

The certainty is that it is Kings it has not anything in common with that of the previous stage. It was not necessary to wait to the duel against the Barca to realize this affirmation, or equally yes, because it served so that that of the highway of Utrera was giving the breast do before a truly big rival. First, it reached one of these moves that so many times starts in proper soil to offer to Forlán the first goal of a brilliant form, with a pass to the wonderful, more proper hollow of Iniesta. Later, it worked up to getting exhausted, with quality and commitment, and his biggest gift was again, more that never, the unanimous and hopeful applause of the Caldron, which he excused to him does some time and now it is pawned in elevating him by means of vítores.

Caldron is his second surname, and also there is called this way the president who led him to dressing of ‘target‘ almost four years ago. It is necessary to have eye. Although Caldron is now, exclusively, a temple produced before the clear quality of ’19, that it begins to feel important. The situation became untenable; so much that Reyes had to leave the team, and practically nobody was trusting in his indemnity. It returned this period accompanied by others that also had emigrated: Cléber Santana, Jury and Valera. Everything was indicating a step backwards for the team, and, partly, this thought was not misled. Pero Reyes has something that the others not, at least he: a devilish quality. And it has also the support of Quique Flores, which something of fault will have in this rescue operation.

To change the whistles into applauses, Reyes had to support thousand curses, one had to haggle himself and to his own team; to return, to avoid the suspicion of all and of Abel Resino; to be glad for his reunion with Quique, to chatter of his ex-technician, to ‘provoke’ the exit of admired Maxi Rodríguez, finally, to meet again with his best version, even in a set that keeps on showing his worst face very often. The double has fought to be half of what one day taught us again. That is worth of applause, and the Caldron knows it, has admitted it. The ‘Viking’ has transformed in ‘Indian‘, and now the tribe has turned him into chief worthy of so proper rituals of the soccer like the popular acclamation.
