Correia on 'glass player' label and his Valencia future

Correia opens up: 'They called me a glass player'

Thierry Correia says being labelled a "glass player" hit him hard mentally during his time at Valencia. The right-back, whose contract is now expiring, spoke candidly about the toll the reputation took on him. "Me tacharon de jugador de cristal y me afectó psicológicamente," he admitted (1). His future remains unresolved, but the honesty will resonate with fans who saw his struggles with injuries up close.
