Henry Martín comes out in defense of Diego Valdés: “I don’t know why they criticise him”
Henry Martín doesn’t understand the criticism Valdés is receiving at América.
Diego Valdés has been subject to criticism at América this season. Before the match against Mazatlan, the Chilean was booed at the Azteca Stadium and his team-mate Henry Martín has come to his defence.
The Azulcrema striker says he doesn’t understand the criticism from the fans as he considers him to be a great player who helps his team. “I don’t know what they criticise him for, he’s brilliant,” Martín told TUDN.
Valdés managed to lift his game against the Buccaneers by scoring a goal and assisting two at the Azteca Stadium.
Tano Ortíz also came out to defend the midfielder and said that the atmosphere in the dressing room is very good. “Diego doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone. Diego has to prove in the week that he wants to be here. The dressing room has never been bad, it has always been good.”
How much did América pay for Valdés?
In December 2021, Las Águilas paid around €10 million for Valdés, according to Transfermarkt.
