Accused by Mouctar Diakhaby of having uttered a racist insult against him during the match between Cadiz and Valencia on Sunday, Juan Cala defended himself at a press conference on Tuesday.
“There are two options.
Either Diakhaby invented it or he misunderstood.
The rest is circus (…) I have the impression that we are in the Wild West.
I don't know what happened with the presumption of innocence.
No one deserves such a public lynching, "said the Andalusian defender who claims to have received" all types of threats possible on social networks "since the incident.
“If the League wants to create a protocol against racism, it has my support.
There is no racism in Spanish football, ”continues the player.
“I played with Chinese, South Africans.
I went to Guinea with Kanouté and Benjamin Zarandona.
What is happening is a spectacle.
I am in shock.
We play behind closed doors, there are 20-25 cameras, microphones, players, referees.
And no one heard anything, ”he adds.
