Fran Sánchez says that he financially sanctioned the player after the accident, but he does not see as punishment the two games that were left out of the summoned.
The sports director of Real Valladolid, Fran Sánchez, referred to the situation of Gonzalo silver in the Blanquivioleta team weeks after the accident caused by the Ecuadorian for driving exceeding the speed limit. The Spanish would like to “turn the page”, although he is aware of the seriousness of the matter and therefore a financial sanction was applied to the tricolor footballer.
“I would like to turn the page. The boy made a serious mistake; a mistake that is difficult to understand. As I said in the press conference in which I wanted to accompany him by his own decision, he is 21 years old, everything has happened very quickly and the life he had five years ago is not the same as it is now; training and education is different. He knows that he was wrong, that he acted very badly and that it is a mistake that could be much worse, that we have reiterated it a thousand times in case he did not know“Said Sánchez in statements collected by the newspaper Valladolid Day. At the same time he adds that a Real Valladolid player “can do whatever he wants”, but “he must know that he represents a club, an institution, a city.”
Sánchez also said that he decided to sanction him financially and not sportively because that is the responsibility of the coach, José Rojo Martín, better known as Pacheta. And although Plata was two games without being considered among those called after the accident, it was not considered a punishment, according to the club’s sports director.

“My decision is to punish him financially and not punish him for sport.. Not that the death was passing to Pacheta. What I am saying is that you have to decide whether to play or not, because it is your area of responsibility. Pacheta decided to leave it out for two games. I don’t consider it a punishment. He is a boy who has been on the cover of national and local newspapers, and he has to face a situation that he must accept but which is complex, “he said.

Finally, the Blanquivioleta manager asserted that he has not spoken with Gustavo Alfaro, DT de la Ecuador selection, but yes with the people of the Lisbon Sporting, box owner of the sports rights of Plata. In addition, there are doubts in this regard about making the purchase option effective for the Ecuadorian at the end of the season, since the amount set for the final transfer is a difficult value to assume for the Spanish team. The matter has not been dealt with in depth, because in Sánchez’s opinion “different circumstances may arise” as the days go by.

“Keeping it is complex. He had a strong club in Italy that had it almost closed. Then there were other interests from the First Division, Sporting seemed to be keeping it and we were waiting for our moment, talking to the boy and his representative, telling him that playing a prominent role in the Second Division could boost him for the following season. He accepted the challenge and we wanted to have a purchase option just in case, but it is true that it is a complicated amount today.. But we do. And there can be different circumstances. It is still early days and nothing has been discussed or discussed about this option ”, he concluded. (D)
