Estela, the Madrid CFF Police: "We are working in complete madness"

The quarantine for Madrid CFF players has one major exception. His player Estela Fernández Pablos will not be able to carry it out as he has to fulfill his other profession, that of the National Police. The Madrid footballer, who becomes one of the few players in the First Iberdrola who is not justifying her confinement, confesses to AS that she is working "in complete madness." The white attacker has been combining soccer for three years with her career as a National Police, a profession she shares with her father, who also instilled in her a passion for soccer. "My father has been an example of life and since he was little he took me to watch his games. While he was playing I took my first steps with the ball," Estela said.

Estela, who also has a law degree, relates in statements to AS that her day to day in this health crisis is being a non-stop, interspersing her Police shifts with the physical preparation that they have given her from Madrid CFF to stay fit as an athlete . The player, who works at the Parla Police Station, also explains to this newspaper the security measures she is taking to protect herself from COVID-19. "I try to follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health: mask, hand hygiene, protect our eyes, wash our clothes well, or shower as soon as the shift is over. We do not know if it will be enough or we will already be contaminated, but we do what we can," he says. Estela, who adds: "These are complicated days in which many emotions come together but everything happens and the end is getting closer and closer."

It is not the first slump that the midfielder with an offensive profile of Madrid CFF will have to overcome this season, a team that came from two seasons ago from Rayo Vallecano. Estela has suffered an injury this course that affected her regularity at the beginning of the course. Already recovered, she was pursuing her best level, the one that led her with ten goals to become top scorer for the Madrid team in the previous campaign. "Soccer is medicine for the head and, of course, this would be something else if I could vent myself with a ball. Now I have to settle for my gym attempt and team video calls", he highlights about how he is carrying his quarantine, in the that she has become yet another heroine to fight COVID-19.
