“I have no fixed political ideas, I've already said it a thousand times. I am Spanish and I will die being Spanish”, ensures. Salva Ballesta never hid his political ideas, the same ones that will prevent him from working as second coach of the new Celta coach, Abel Resino. “A minority group of fans was not in favor, for political issues, that he went to Celta with Abel”, recognized the former striker of Malaga and Atlético de Madrid in statements to Radio Marca.
Salva Ballesta affirmed that he had already left in the direction of Vigo, to close the terms of his relationship with Celta when he was surprised by the call from the president of Celta, Carlos Mourinho, to stop the operation. As soon as it became known of his arrival as Resino's assistant, Celta fans expressed their rejection on social networks of his hiring, branding Crossbow as “look”, “fascist” it is included “nazi”.
In the 'Intermediate' program, Salva explained what happened: “This morning I took the car very happy to go to Vigo until I received a call from the physical trainer, by Miguel Peiró. He told me that the coach and the president wanted to talk to me because there was a situation in which a group of Celta fans were not in favor of my going there.”, said.
Celta's decision leaves Abel in a difficult place, who has signed with his new team despite the ban on Salva. The former striker does not hold a grudge, but left a message to the technician: “I can't say I'm disappointed in Abel. I thank you until today 13.00 hours the trust he has had in me. What happened next is up to you, you've accepted your contract and you're done. Yo, personally, if I start negotiating at a table and my second does not sign, I don't sign either”.
