Angel Torres was very clear Tuesday night in 'The Transistor', Onda Cero program. The president of Getafe announced that his team did not travel this Wednesday to Miln to play the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Inter: “Unless this changes a lot, Getafe is not going to travel to Italy.”

“We asked UEFA looking for an alternative to play in Miln. We do not want to get into the focus of the coronavirus, we have no need. We have also asked the Federation for help to demand the suspension, “he said, getting in line with the AFE postulates.

“If we have to lose the tie we will lose it. I am not going to be the one who assumes to take any kind of risk. It makes us very excited but if it has to be like that, be,” concluded Torres.

Neither the Italian group itself understands the decision of the highest European body. “The people of Inter with whom we have spoken recognize us that it is incomprehensible that we have to travel there. I'm not going to consent, “he reiterates.” Either the game is taken out of there or it is postponed. The most sensible thing will be to postpone it, “he concluded.
