The tragic consequences of the passage of DANA mainly because of the Valencian Community They haven’t made football stop, despite the fact that many of its protagonists have publicly requested it. Only several matches were postponed, including the Levant and his coach, Julián Calero, has exploded over the situation.
“There was no point in playing. It’s the first time in my life that I haven’t watched a single football game all weekend.. “We played against Tenerife supposedly this weekend and, when they played on Sunday, I couldn’t even watch it because my head was on other things,” he stated in an interview in The Stringer.
Furthermore, he has assured that he feels “a little ashamed for belonging to professional football and that we have not stopped this day.” “I belong to this professional football and one or the other of us should have exerted strength so that this would not have happened. Now we say it and it seems that we are all in agreement but, from the associations, This initiative should have been taken and, if not, we should have made efforts. In our case we had our minds on what we are seeing here, which is outrageous,” he added.
Calero has continued with his reflection supporting the work of Vicente Moreno, Osasuna coach who is helping in his town, Massanassa: “We are the protagonists, it is that simple. If the protagonist does not show up, the play does not work. Another thing is that, many times, we are waiting for the associations that we pay for that to tell us what we think.”
“It would have been an unequivocal sign that football is human and that it is no longer just a business that is being seen to be what it is. Football has an inner humanity that makes it so great. “What values do we generate if we play this week?” he stated.
“Football is a game and the word game means fun, being happy and happy. It means celebrating things. What game are we going to have if we are in mourning? Of course you see the players and coaches crying, you have to be here to see what we have suffered and what we are suffering. Playing a game is clearly immoral but Julián Calero can’t do anythingjust telling it here because it is his feeling. This is the reality. That’s why Vicente Moreno cried and I cried with him while I saw him. Their feeling touched my heart but in the end we are part of this business and they tell us that we have to play and there we all go like sheep, myself included. And on Sunday we have to play and here we go. In the end, what are we going to do? “I cannot go alone like Don Quixote against the windmills,” he stated.
Explodes against politicians
Coach Granota has also charged against the political management of this catastrophe: “It is a truly war scenario. We have lacked our army to help us in this scenario. Some miserable politicians have made our war scene be without professionals“.
“Yesterday I spoke with members of the UME and they told me that they were prepared to build bridges, carry running water, coordinate, remove mud and try to save lives. I don’t know what happened because this is entering a garden that I don’t know, but what I know is that people have been left alone. It’s unfortunate,” he said.
“I am outraged by many things and by what I am seeing here because I have dealings with the people here and I feel like another Valencian at the moment. I feel involved with them and how nice that Spanish football had stopped for them. They have not been able to watch games either because they were removing mud, trying to save lives or looking for their bodies while there were soccer games being played where people, as they go, have to celebrate goals, sing… What country do we live in if we are not able to unite in this serious crisis?“, declared the Levante coach.
