It took a week Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) speaking on the day of shame in the League which took place last weekend Spain in the midst of the greatest human tragedy this country has seen in recent years due to the DANA. And when he did it, in the mouth of his president, David Aganzothe explanations were even more illogical than the union’s inaction.
First of all, the former Madrid player clarified that at no time had he contacted the captains of the 42 teams that make up First of all And Second divisionsomething that from the first moment would have been useful to know the intentions of the protagonists. Later, as they played their matches and made their statements, it was publicly demonstrated that virtually none of them wanted to play. Obviously, least the Valencians.
These images of crying Vicente Morenocoach Osasunaduring a press conference, or Pablo Fornalsexcited to score a goal with the Bétiscould have been completely avoided if there had been this conversation between League members and the union that defends their work and personal well-being.
On the other hand, and although Aganzo denied it, they dedicated themselves this Tuesday to making mistakes, since the only organizations they contacted were the League itself and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). “I saw that the stadiums were full and people were singing about the goals,” he said, hiding behind the crowd of supporters, the only thing missing was that one person could no longer celebrate the goals. exploits of his team.
The AFE is not obliged to “say everything it does”
He also addressed the journalists, who did their “job” during this day, also specifying that they are “used” to criticism. In this defense, Aganzo forgot that they did not throw balls saying that they were not the Government. “People acted the way they acted, unfortunately, and we found ourselves in a very uncomfortable situation for everyone, but it hurts my soul very much that in the end it was the athletes, or in this case the footballers, who are always in this direction.
Aganzo’s words were very surprising in a conference whose motive was very far from the one we were talking about, since it was the case of Lass Diarraexplaining that they do not comment on all the stages they go through: “We are very proactive, I don’t need to say everything the AFE does to be in this situation to be able to help.”
The union’s silence was deafening, but when it was broken, it was too late. A calendar appointment had already been contested in which players and coaches, whether Valencian or not, had gone against their will to their workplace, refusing to help with the cleaning and rescue work of a drama that would last for weeks. and months to restore normality in the most affected areas.
