José Bordalás responded to the statements made by the Engineer in the last duel that faced them in La Liga.
Manuel Pellegrini prepares for his next duel for the Spanish championship against Mallorca. Of course, in the preview he found the answer to one of the criticisms he had launched the previous date when the Verdiblancos faced Getafe. .
On the occasion, the Engineer accused the team led by José Bordalás of going out alone to defend themselves at the Benito Villamarín in the 2-1 victory in favor of the locals. .
“Between all of us, coaches, players and referees, we have to contribute much more for a show “Football is a spectacle. There are 50,000 people in the stadium and very expensive television rights are paid, so that there is football, entertainment and fun,” said the Chilean.
“In the show we have to collaborate much more, coaches, players and referees, to exclude teams that come looking for results, and that is not football. “The sense of spectacle cannot be lost. We tell the players not to fall into constant provocations or fouls,” he added.
And on Friday, Bordalás was consulted on Pellegrini’s comments. “It is not the first time he has said it, I continue to stick to the same statements as the previous one. Maximum respect to all coaches who respect other coaches, I don’t have to respect anyone who doesn’t. “It’s a complicated job and I don’t think it’s good that there is an attempt to condition or justify,” said the Azulones coach in a press conference.
“What Pellegrini should have done, if he is a great football fan, is to draw the attention of his players when they were winning and were behind or when the balls did not appear or when the referee cautioned Rui Silva because he had not served the goal. “, detained.
“It’s part of football and we have to be respectful of our teammates if we want healthier football and not try to condition ourselves, because Imagine if I came here to the press room and said I’m afraid of a team we’re going to play and I asked the referees to do their job like we see some coaches do. The referees need to be able to do their job and not try to condition “, he concluded on the subject.
