The tragedy has mercilessly hit all of Valencia, claiming the lives of more than 200 people and leaving dozens missing, but LaLiga has only stopped for the Valencian teams. Although the competition continues this Saturday, no one has forgotten what is happening in the Valencian Community, as demonstrated by the emotional gesture by Miguel Gutiérrez.
The left back of Girona, who faced Leganés in Montilivi, opened the scoring in the 21st minute by finishing off a bad clearance by the Pepinera defense, and quickly approached the sideline to show two t-shirts with messages of support for the Valencian region and, especially, to a friend of his: “It’s for you, Henry. Strength, Valencia!”.
After the match, with a victory for Michel’s team (4-3), the former Real Madrid player went through the microphones of Sports Carouselwhere he has not only explained the complicated moment that his friend’s family is going throughbut it has also ruined LaLiga’s decision not to suspend the day despite the devastation in Valencia.
“It was a little difficult to stay focused. with everything that is happening, but in the end it was decided that the League would continue this weekend and we had to focus, get the best out of the game,” the defender began, explaining, for whom “victory remains in the background , because if it had been up to me I wouldn’t have played this weekend“. In this sense, Gutiérrez has defended that “all attention must be focused on what has happened because it is honestly outrageous.”
Regarding his gesture, the full-back said that three days have passed since Enrique’s mother disappeared, swept away by one of the brutal floods that flooded Valencia: “Three days ago, his mother, with the storm, was carried away by the current . She was held down and they saw how the current carried her away.. And she is currently missing, she has been missing for two or three days.”
“Let’s hope they can find the body still alive, but things look uglyand I told him ‘I’m going to score a goal and I’m going to dedicate it to you because you deserve it, and because I think Valencia needs all the support,” added the Girona player.
Miguel Gutiérrez has also done emphasis on the devastation that runs through the streets of the different towns of Valencia: “My hair is standing on end right now remembering everything I have seen. It is a very serious situation.”
