Controversy between Cala and Diakhaby. “I have seen the same as you, when the ball was on one side in another there was a ruckus. Then they retired with the referee because one of their players said that Cala had insulted him. We have all gone to the changing rooms, we have talked and Cala says that at no time has he insulted the player. We waited until they told us we had to leave. When it was resumed I saw that Cala was not as usual and I was going to change it. He told me to wait for the break. I believe the player, he has told me that he has not insulted him and I believe him. In these things, whoever does something must pay. I have removed it because of the card and because of the situation that has occurred ”.
Uncertainty before the withdrawal of Valencia. “This is the first time this has happened to me. We were that we did not know how to react. The referee more or less explained to me and in the dressing room there was uncertainty, but Cala has repeated that at no time has he insulted the player. We make a lot of mistakes, but we are a loyal team and we don't do those things ”.
Cala situation. “Cala tells me to wait until the break and to listen to him. I was afraid to keep ten. At half-time he said that he had not insulted him ”.
Analysis of the encounter. “Valencia is a brave team and we have been well within what the game has been. At half-time we talked about football and what had to be improved and it didn't go wrong. I would not like something like this to happen again. Soccer is a very noble sport and these things must not happen. We have to avoid it, but I have a player who says that there have been hauls, but he has not insulted him ”.
Talk after the meeting with Valencia. “I have acquaintances in Valencia and at the end of the game we talked about football and what happened. I have told them what my player tells me, that I know him and he is very noble. He assures that he has not said it and I have to believe it ”.
Conversation in the break. “I have told them that this situation is illogical, but that the game was going to continue playing and that they had to isolate themselves. We have to believe in our player, we all know each other, but we had to play and we couldn't play like in the last quarter of an hour. We were going to support our player and we went out for the game ”.
Cala version. “The player has told me that he has not insulted him. From there I can't handle everyone's reactions. There has been a launch of the party, but without insults ”.
Three important points. “It is a step, perhaps more important than on other occasions. We continue to think that we still have two or three games to win to certify our permanence ”.
