Anil Murthy complained about the lack of support that the Valencia after denouncing Mouctar Diakhaby an insult racist of the Cádiz player Juan Cala … but the president of Valencia assured don't be surprised and slipped certain collusion in LaLiga with this type of performance.
In a talk on a podcast of ‘The Athletic’ collected by Plaza Deportiva, he showed his anger because “no Spanish club would come out to support Valencia's statement, when many other clubs from outside have done it ”.
“Honestly, I'm not surprised. Because that's the way things are around here. And that is why it is more urgent that the clubs and institutions say: we are going to get serious ”, he warned.
Many clubs from abroad have supported us, but none Spanish: this is how things are around here
Murthy was also especially upset that there were those who included such insults and the situations they cause within the “mischief”Of football. “For me, that attitude is promoting the racism. You can quote me on that. It is a mentality that promotes racism, ”he said.
“There are people who think that opening the door for games to be suspended because of this means opening the floodgates for all games to be suspended. Or that a team that is losing and wants to play the game again can pretend anything. For me, that attitude is promoting racism. You can quote me on that. It is a mentality that promotes racism. (…) Basically with this All blacks are hinted to be cheats”, He stressed.
To think that suspending parties on this issue is to open the door for all of them to be suspended is to promote racism
In addition, he hinted his discomfort with which LaLiga has not taken the initiative in search of the evidence. “It is shocking that it is the club's job to provide evidence, when we do not have our cameras and video equipment recording the game either, “he recalled.
“There is a systemic failure, the protocol is flawed from its very foundation. But the most worrying thing is the mentality, everyone is left on the sidelines. The protocol, rules and mentality with which it is faced are allowing this to continue happening ”, he affirmed.
Murthy in any case wanted to give Javier Tebas a margin. “It's still early. This is the first time this has happened in Spain and everyone is still digesting the situation. We will not give up. He is the president of LaLiga, but he also has rules and regulations to follow ”, he explained.
It is shocking that it is the club who must provide evidence, the protocol has a fault from its very foundation
The leader explained that after the team withdrew from the field of play after the complaint of his partner and once informed of the possibility of losing points if they did not return to the same it was Diakhaby who asked his teammates to play although the coach assured his players that he would support them whether they did it or not and they were sanctioned.
Murthy explained that he was not in Carranza “for personal reasons” and that he was in telephone contact with ‘your team’. The leader also made some self-criticism for how they communicated their steps.
“I think that in general we manage it well, except for not having won the game. But we can do much better in the future in the sense of communicating what we did and how we manage it abroad ”, he pointed out.
It is enough to see the player (Cala) to request that the event be investigated, it is not necessary to finish the game quickly and running
Murthy insisted that Cala's face should have served to act even if it does not imply a condemnation of the Andalusian. “Of course we cannot base a regulation on the face that a person puts on, but it is enough to see it to ask that it be investigated as this event touches. It is not necessary to finish the game in a hurry and running. We are going to take this matter seriously and base it on common sense, images, the reaction of the players … This deserves a real investigation, “he claimed.
In any event, Murthy insisted that “the manner in which the entire event occurred and how the system reacted were two steps back in the fight against racism”And that seeing the image of Diakhaby alone in the stands made it“ a sad day for football ”.
