Valencia boycott ahead of Chelsea Champions League tie could lead to disciplinary action

Posted November 21, 2019

Following no player attended the press conference ahead of their Champions League tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge valencia may face disciplinary action.
The players refused to attend the press conference in the wake of the week’s sacking of supervisor Marcelino, who directed them into Champions League qualification and Copa del Rey victory last season.
Day media conference duties were taken by new boss Albert Celades alone, however he insisted that no matter what the feelings are within the camp will be prompted to beat Chelsea.
He explained:”Clearly it is not an ideal situation but it’s the players’ decision, really. I really don’t have much more to say about that. There isn’t anything that I can do about it.
“I speak to the players daily. There is always dialogue although they took this decision. The response I’ve had has been very good and I’m sure it’ll continue to enhance.
“The spirit is very great. [Tuesday] will be the beginning of the club competition in Europe and that’s considerable motivation for the players.
“They wish to playwith, taste the atmosphere and be in the starting XI. No one wants to overlook and , for me, is the most significant thing.”
Their opponents beat Wolves 5-2 on Saturday as well as ironically, Valencia were conquered by exactly the identical scoreline at Celades’ first game in charge from Barcelona in the weekend.
His side face a tough test against the side on Tuesday of Frank Lampard, and the Spaniard has been complimentary of their Premier League side ahead of that game.
He added:”They’re a terrific side with some amazing individual players.
“It will be a significant challenge but a interesting one too. We are confident they can cause us a lot of issues.
“We’re going to prepare for the match in the very easiest way possible and try to get a result.”
