“This is inhuman”: the criticism of the players and coaches of the first LaLiga match after DANA

LaLiga was played again this Friday despite the more than 200 deaths in DANA. There was a minute of silence, but the ball rolled again in Deportivo Alavés-Real Mallorca in a match that no one was prepared to play and that was marked by tears and criticism for having played the game.

The matches postponed due to the catastrophe have only been those that were going to be held in the Valencian Community, something that many have not understood due to the seriousness of the events. Toni Lato, Mallorca footballer born in Valencia, He could not hold back his tears during the entire minute of silence in memory of the victims. Sivera, the Alavés goalkeeper born in Jávea, also had to play in said match, in which he was visibly affected.

“They have been very difficult times for my land. I have no words to describe what has happened. It has been a difficult match on a mental level, I lost a teammate two days ago, these are families that cannot find their people. “I want to send a message of encouragement to everyone.”stated Toni Lato before the LaLiga microphones. And the thing is, the Real Mallorca player lost José Castillejo, former Valencia and Eldense player.

Likewise, Lato was clear about the decision to play the day: “It is not understood. It is an inhuman thing that we are here today, It is a very difficult thing, as Vicente Moreno has said, we want to be with our families helping people.”

Likewise, the Alavés coach, Luis García Plaza, was also very critical in the press conference after the match: “That we played this match, There is no where to take it. With everything that happened, with the deceased, with what people are suffering. Not only with the Valencia Community, as you know my family is from there, it is very hard.”
