Estadio Deportivo<\/a> and expressed their excitement at the new lease of life the striker has been presented with.<\/p>\nM\u00edchel Catal\u00e1n – Mejia’s first coach at Zaragoza – said, “I was in that match with Santi Arag\u00f3n, and he surprised us from the first moment, especially because of his speed and ability to unbalance.”<\/p>\n
“We signed him, and it was always at a different pace thanks to his speed. Mateo is a bullet and with spaces he is simply deadly. He could have perfectly dedicated himself to athletics.”<\/p>\n
Ra\u00fal Mart\u00ednez, who also worked with Mejia added, “Physically he is an animal.”<\/p>\n
“When I had him, he was at speeds typical of a Spanish Athletics Championship. He is very fast, breaks defences and is very hungry to achieve things, which is essential for any promising young football player.”<\/p>\n
“He could be a very good addition for Sevilla. It\u2019s true that he has had problems with injuries, but he was having a good year at Manchester United and will adapt easily. At Sevilla there are no players with his profile and he can make a difference.”<\/p>\n
Catal\u00e1n insisted that Mejia is being watched by many people and if he gets a good chunk of minutes, will attract attention from some of the big boys in Europe.<\/p>\n
He lauded Sevilla for taking a chance on the youngster before relaying that Los Nervionenses will not regret their decision to swoop in for the striker.<\/p>\n
At least from the respective perspectives of Mejia’s ex-coaches, United’s loss is Sevilla’s gain.
