Omorodion opens up about emotional impact of Atletico Madrid treatment: Porto striker left in tears

A year ago, Omorodion signed with Atletico Granada before being loaned to Alaves for the season. However, he did not play a single game for Atletico and was eventually sold to Porto.

On Porto, he told Marca: "From the first minute I saw the interest they had in me. The president came to Madrid to sign me and he told me that he wouldn't leave without signing me. That's what a player needs, to be shown confidence. I want to thank the president and the club for the bet they have placed on me.

"There - at Atlético de Madrid - I trained separately. I didn't feel involved, not like a footballer. I trained and my head told me no. I had a bad time. I cried a lot at night... my family and my mother had a very bad time... In the end, thank God, everything came together quickly and I made the best decision.

"Nobody spoke to me and I didn't speak to anyone. I was still an Atlético de Madrid player, I had to go to training and do my job. I already knew the club's position. These are things that happen in football and that make you gain experience and learn for the future."
