Gayà talks about Luis Enrique's decision to call him off for the World Cup

Luis Enrique made a drastic decision by sending Jose Luis Gaya home when the Valencia side was already in Qatar and was injured. The Asturian then recognized that he had been unfair to the footballer but that he had done so for the good of the National Team. José Luis Gayà was asked about this in the last interview he gave.

«I left there with the feeling that maybe I could have been, then I went on vacation for seven days because it was very hard for me and I needed to disconnect and then when I came back I started training normally. I didn't have to do a retrofit. For everything that happened, she managed it in a good way because it was very hard. It is a decision of Luis Enrique and I have to respect it. She told me in the morning in the room, he told me that she had been very unlucky. Or I don't know how to tell you. They were very hard moments because the RFEF announces it and then removes it because FIFA has not authorized it it was another blow to me. I gave everything to be able to be. It's sad and it hurts a lot, but it wasn't in my hands. I honestly think it could have been there to play"said the defender.

Gayà has not spoken with Luis Enrique again

Asked if he had spoken with Luis Enrique again, José Luis Gayà replied: «I have not spoken to him again».

The Valencia footballer has returned to the National Team thanks to Luis de la Fuente, of whom he said: «With Luis I had the opportunity to train in the sub-19s ten years ago and I am happy for him, after the disappointment of the World Cup because we did not expect to fall so soon, we have a new illusion wanting to go for everything and with a mentality with that star on his chest to give everything and represent the country in the best possible way. He follows the U-21 model a bit, he is very close behind closed doors, he is with us to the maximum and we have to restore his confidence and form a united and strong block.
