Joselu defends himself from criticism after Diakhaby injury

Mouctar Diakhaby's injury was a hard blow for the Valencia fans, but it has also played a dirty trick on Real Madrid striker Joselu Mato. He has been forced to publish a message on his social networks in order to defend himself from the criticism that he has received for this unfortunate action.

It wasn't Joselu who collided with Diakhaby, it was Tchouameni, but he was very close to the defender while he was being attended to by the medical staff. The Spaniard repeatedly reproached the referee, Gil Manzano, for hurrying up. 

The speed demanded by the player did not sit well with some fans, who did not see the reasonableness of such complaints given the seriousness of the situation. But, according to the player, the complaint was not directed at the loss of time in the match, but rather he was asking for the medical staff to act more quickly.

The Spanish international wanted to make it clear that "Mouctar is one of us" and wished him a speedy recovery. He also related his heated reaction to "the nerves and pain that these situations generate in us".
