The Sevilla head coach came to the defence of the Chilean international, claiming that he has been the subject of unfair treatment by the press.
Sevilla went in to the international break with two back to back defeats against their names. The Andalusian club welcome Joaquin Caparros’ Mallorca on Monday, October 22 at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan to resume La Liga action.
Los Nervionenses have had an inauspicious start to the league campaign; they are 7th on the points table after seven La Liga outings. However, with a victory against Spanish champions Real Madrid to boast off, Michel’s charges have a lot to show
for.
They have been in and out of news headlines, thanks to Jose Maria Del Nido, the good performances and the imperfect refereeing in their fixtures. Nevertheless, ahead of the crunch fixture against Mallorca, the Seville based entity is in the news thanks to
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Medel-c14446.
The Chilean midfielder was arrested for slapping a female news reporter at the Santiago airport, making news a kin to his sending off against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Sevilla coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453, took out time to reflect on the situation, claiming that his understudy is being treated unfairly in the Iberian Peninsula, pointing his finger at the digressions of the media against Medel.
“I was always support him, he is haunted by the press,” the former Getafe trainer commented at a press conference.
Explaining his stance, Michel stated that media personnel are intimidated by Medel’s character, whilst also accusing them for taking things out of context when the midfielder is concerned.
“These people prey on the skin of the beleaguered. There Medel is a character and they bother you. Often things are taken out of context; he allegedly assaulted the journalist, but there is no injury.
“Medel feels harassed, he's single, he's handsome. He will play on Monday if logic prevails.”
Michel also took out time to praise Real Mallorca manager, Joaquin Caparros. He hailed the former La Roja manager for his legacy at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, whilst also praising his accomplishments at the Estadi Iberostar.
“Caparros is unique in the contemporary history of Sevilla, he has left his mark. Mallorca have a very clear identity, their players are strong.”
