The coach of Valencia, ‘Voro’ Gonzalez, said that he was aware that the club was going to start talking to the players about their future but said that he did not know in what terms it was going to be done or with how many, after the information from Goal that assured that the club communicated before the clash against Leganés at least Dani Parejo, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Francis Coquelin who are looking for a team.
“I knew that the club was going to get in touch with some but I understood that (it was) to assess the situations of the footballers to adapt the budget for the coming season to the income. He did not know in what terms, “acknowledged the coach, who also admitted that today he does not know” to what extent (it has been done), I do not know how it has been or how many. “
But Voro also wanted to make clear that he does not see a direct relationship between that communication and the defeat in Leganés. “Nor are we going to dramatize so much because the footballer is a professional, who is prepared and is aware of what is around when things go right or wrong,” he recalled. “I do not see a cause and effect relationship with the defeat of Leganés, we lost due to other circumstances,” said the coach.
He defends himself because the team has not reacted after his arrival
Voro admitted that after not having joined in that meeting they reach the last two days with “few options but we will continue to insist until the end.”
The coach regretted that the team has not reacted with his arrival but recalled that he does not have “a magic wand”, that “football belongs to footballers” and that this sport “is very bastard, when it gets complicated, it gets complicated”.
“I'm screwed like everyone else, for me it was a responsibility. I get fully involved and suffer as the first, as the most. We had to face this, we are doing it and we are going to do it to the end. It has become very difficult for us, we will continue to insist, ”he explained.
Regarding the clash against Espanyol, he pointed out that “it will not be easy even if he is far from it, they are no longer under pressure but the players want to perform well for the coming season, I have it very clear because he has competed very well in Donosti or against the Madrid”. “If we win tomorrow we will see if we have a mathematical possibility or not, although the two games are very close we have to focus on tomorrow's, we cannot think of Sevilla's. If we don't win tomorrow everything will be over ”, he assumed.
