David Albelda He is heartbroken after the tragedy of DANA that affected your Valence. The one from Pobla Llarga actually fell into the mud as another volunteer unlike some politicians to help clean the streets of the affected villages. As a Valencian, the former Valencia captain and legend regrets “the political war” who exists among those responsible and considers this “absurd”. “No politician has been up to the task,” he added.
Valencians are very angry with politicians and they clearly expressed this during the demonstration on November 9, where they demanded the resignation of politicians: first Sánchez, then Mazón. More than 100,000 people took to the streets to protest against the management of DANA politicians. Albelda believes that those responsible were not up to the task “and they confront us.”
The former Valencia captain analyzed the situation with a broken soul after seeing with his own eyes what the streets of the “69 affected cities” look like. You understand these helpless people. I went to help for two days and people felt alone. And people steal the worst. My reflection after the tragedy is disappointment as a citizen. Political war is absurd. No politician has been up to the task and they confront us“.
During his interview at SER chainAlbelda said that in her town they had “unquote lucky” with DANA. “Castellón and Pobla Llarga were lucky in quotes“Because the Barxeta ravine, when it fills and overflows, is in a low area and only affects two or three streets, which are about half a meter deep. It affects 30 or 40 houses but nothing moreover.”
Albelda sees ‘relegation danger’ for Valencia

As captain, Albelda put himself in the shoes of the current leader of this team, José Luis Gayà. “I think of Gayá. Like when I thought “I must have made a mistake staying” in the bad years. But you’re from here. I never had the feeling that it could have been sold», Underlined that of Pobla Llarga.
David Albelda is very concerned about this situation and was very clear in analyzing the situation of this team: “Yes, I see a danger of relegation. The ranking says so even if we always think there will be three worst. But it’s off to a bad start with a young group and it’s dangerous. The staff is very young. Elite football is not only about emergence but also about continuity. The Guerras, Diego, Fran… now benefited from the support of the veterans…”
