Levante UD centre-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670.
Ballesteros was accused of coming to the front of Real’s dressing room with just a towel round his waist. It was reported that he then grabbed the neck of the Portuguese and punched him in the face after that.
It was an ill-tempered game and the weather did not help too as rain was pouring down on the ground.
Regardless, the defender has strongly denied any wrong doings and stated that all of this is just accusations that are baseless.
The Levante captain believes people are just reacting to the heat of the moment and that is why they have rushed to judge him without verifying the evidence.
“This has all been pre-judged without anyone checking the evidence.”
Ballesteros was adamant in his belief that he never assaulted anyone in his career. He continued and explained that the only thing he did was to go and check on how http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 was doing.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 was substituted during the game after he received a blow on his eye.
“I left the pitch and went into the dressing room, that's all. Someone told me that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 was in the first aid room so I went to see him, that's all I know.”
The 37-year-old also stated that he will in no way give any bad comments about anyone, but suggested that nothing has happened so far without a reason. He is urging those involved to take a close second look.
"Some things are clear. I'm not going to speak ill of anyone but things happen for a reason. There was a fracas for a reason and it didn't happen by chance. You only have to look at what happened.”
Finally, the veteran defender concluded his remarks on the controversial match and said that it was just like any other game.
“Sunday's game was clean and will go down in history as just another day in our 103- year history."
Despite their defeat, Levante are still on the 6th position and will be fighting for a spot in the top four this season.
