The French center-back gives a wide interview to Onze in which he talks about his failed relationship with the Andorran coach
When Diakhaby arrived in Valencia led by Pablo Longoria, he expected something else. The French center-back, with ideal conditions to become a benchmark in the center of the rear, quickly disappeared from the starting teams at the moment in which Marcelino was fired. Celades turned his back on him and now the Frenchman tells his version.
In an extensive interview with the magazine Onze, the player makes it clear that with Celades it was impossible for him to progress. “Simply because I was not efficient at the beginning. And secondly, the coach preferred other players. You had to respect your choices. I managed. Unfortunately, the year ended badly. I was trying to communicate with him. (Celades), but it was quite complicated.
It was the first time he had held such a position. I was trying to communicate with him, but it was quite complicated “
.
On the contrary, Diakhaby speaks highly of the confidence he gave her Marcelino. “Marcelino, he trusted me a lot. I wasn’t afraid to get on big dates. He had played against Real, he had played the Champions League against Juve. I was doing well. It is a coach who marked me. He is a coach who trains defenders very well. It made me evolve in many things. “
