"I apologised to my friend and colleague Jose Gaya [Spain defender and Valencia captain] and to the entire squad as well.” "I also want to make it clear that it was simply an expression of surprise - anyone watching the video can see that.” "At no point did I intend to mock anyone or take a difficult moment for a team out of context. Quite the opposite - we all want Valencia to return to where it belongs in the league, it is one of the best clubs in the competition. I simply wanted to say that.” "I would also add that it was a private conversation; I think we should all learn a bit more from this, as things really do get taken out of context sometimes. But at no point did I mean any disrespect. My apologies to Valencia."   submitted by   /u/Sparky-moon [link]   [comments]
