Valencia cf | Cañizares remembers the Valencia pillar with which he spent seven years without speaking: “For an act of great immaturity”

Santiago Cañizares was one of the pillars of the best Valencia in history but was without talking for seven years with another very important man of the squad, Miroslav Djukic. The ex -manage has reviewed in the podcast ‘the VAR de Siro’ how the conflict with his former partner emerged.

«For an act of great immaturity, both Djukic and me, we were without speaking six or seven years, for idiots. The reality is that if an uncle came from behind I told him, ‘Djuka, care’. If he had to tell me I went out for this ball or I had to help me helped me in the field, for me it was one more. I did a bad thing. There is a play in the Bernabéu that I recriminate a position and I also do it pissed off and with fuss that I should not. I make another mistake that was not asking for forgiveness at the end of the game because we had lost and was pissed off. The mistake he makes is to get to a press conference and speak pests of me, ”he said about the origin of the confrontation.

Cañizares regrets not being able to fix the situation before with Djukic: “That we were foolish then and we were not able to sit down and say ‘You have done it wrong too, come …’ ‘”.

The Puertollano explained how his reconciliation occurred: «Do you know what day we gave ourselves a hug? The day that invites the entire template to dinner because it leaves. We were both arrogant. It was a very character team, it earned us a lot but also created many friction. There were groups, jealous, but that when the team is good, that happens ».

However, the now sports commentator clarified that the rifirrafes often occur in the locker rooms of the best teams: «That everyone gets along … I like the character teams that fight among classmates per job, to see who is the one that most attracts attention in the team and you have more gallons. Sometimes it is to pass but that it is evident that Valencia was safe with people like that because they were going to defend their profession to the limit of getting angry with their own teammates, without harming the team. Djuka and I had more respect in the field for not telling us than with a friend, if he had to do something for him he did the double ».
