Official Valencia match report lays into players after defeat
The report of the match against Atlético posted on valenciacf.com said Zakaria Bakkali and João Cancelo "played like Atlético forwards."Celta-Valencia live
A writer of match reports for the official Valencia club website has penned a scathing article after the 3-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid last weekend citing “zero competitiveness and intensity,” among Voro’s players in the Calderón.
"Glaring defensive errors and little attacking ambition"
In the first paragraph the anonymous scribe also rails against “glaring defensive errors, little attacking ambition and [Atlético’s] clear superiority from beginning to end.”
Later in the article the writer singles out Valencia players Zakaria Bakkali and João Cancelo as “insisting on playing like Atlético forwards.”
Remarkably for an official club website, and despite Valencia contacting the author over the report, it remains on valenciacf.com (in Spanish) at the time of writing.
