Fernando Vázquez, coach of Deportivo de la Coruña, valued in #Vamos the suspension of his match against Fuenlabrada due to the positive by coronavirus of six players from the Madrid team and criticized the decision that the rest of the day would be disputed. For the coach, that decision has been a “violation of competition.” These are his statements.
What a mess, right ?: “It couldn't happen at the worst time. A very complicated situation. It is a little alarming, we were all congratulating ourselves on how well we were doing and … And it is alarming for society. It's a warning. I do not understand very well that Elche is playing if it played four days ago with Fuenlabrada. I wanted to play today. Lugo and Albacete play with advantage, they do not play with the pressure of our marker. For what reason is the last game played at the same time? So that no one has a competitive advantage. I cannot understand the statement from LaLiga, the RFEF and the CSD. He says, which is not true, that it is for the safety of the players and Elche is playing. Fuenlabrada moved here with a positive. And I do not understand the last part of the statement, which says that the measure is for the general good of the competition. What general good? The violation of the competition that is taking place. It can be general good as long as Deportivo doesn't matter. That a member does not matter seems very strong to me. I do not understand the statement, for me it is tremendous. Then imagine that Albacete and Lugo win, we are descended without playing ”.
Claim the points: “I don't know what the club is going to say. I express total opposition to the situation we are experiencing. We feel hurt, very hurt. “
What did the president say: “It is a complicated subject. I am not a legal expert in these situations. I speak on the sporty side. Maybe we have to play a game in ten days being descended. Imagine that a team is tied today and Fuenlabrada is already in the playoff. Would our party be the same? Do you see the dystopia that can occur? The normal thing would have been to suspend the day for three days. We fixed the Fuenlabrada problem, we isolated the players but we would all play the same day. What would two or three more days matter? ”
Release: “Depor read the statement. We were here at the referee's disposal and Fuenlabrada did not appear. I dont know. Another question I ask myself. In a world as controlled as football … If this happens, we have to be very careful. “
When they find out: “When we get to the field. We did the post-match test and on Sunday morning we knew it. The Fuenlabrada gave a positive … “.
Surprised that he has rushed so much: “It was expected. The Fuenlabrada had a positive, surely it made PCR to all the players and displaced them in case they found negative. There is no other explanation. The protocol also failed. “
July 30 the party: “What do you want me to say? The competition has been violated. We can play a game without any interest. For example, Depor relegated and Fuenlabrada in the playoff. And what can happen too? That they give the three points to Depor. But it will no longer be the same because our match did not influence the competition. You've already seen Celta in Barcelona, everyone is watching to see what happens. Everyone is watching the matches. This is why it is a violation of competition and advantages and disadvantages ”.
It was a mistake to play the day: “Absolutely. I am nobody, but I do not understand. You could have waited three or four more days. “
