Why It Matters
This season in LaLiga the practice of briefly interviewing the protagonists of the matches at half-time, on the pitch, was introduced on the television stations that broadcast the matches.
One of the novelties of this season in LaLiga is that at half-time, the protagonists of the matches are briefly interviewed on the pitch by the television stations that broadcast the matches.
The problem is that footballers do not always feel like giving their opinion. This is what Valencia CF defender Pablo Maffeo clearly stated this Saturday, who rudely attended to the DAZN microphone during half-time of their match at Mestalla against Real Madrid.
The journalist asked the Catalan player what Valencia was missing, to which Maffeo responded: "I don't feel like doing this interview at all, I think this interview here is shit, it doesn't mean anything."
"We are playing a game, they call us for fouls that are not," Pablo Maffeo continued, later stating: "But hey, if the interview has to be done, it's done and that's it. Ask me whatever you want and that's it."
The DAZN reporter, undaunted, repeated the question to the former Mallorca, Girona or Huesca defender. "Well, let the referee be a little fairer and that's it. I think it's not a foul in the first goal and that conditions us," Maffeo responded.
Open Questions
- What sanction, if any, could Pablo Maffeo receive for his statements?
- Will LaLiga continue with the half-time interviews after this incident?
