Danjuma, whistled by Valencia's fans: Aguirre backs them
Javier Aguirre does not question the boos aimed at Arnaut Danjuma after the 6-0 Copa win over Tavernes and calls for better performances from the team.
Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma was booed by the Mestalla crowd when he came on during Valencia's Copa rout of Tavernes (6-0), according to Mundo Deportivo. Asked about the reaction, Javier Aguirre refused to criticise the supporters: he admitted he heard them and said fans pay for their tickets and are entitled to their opinion.
The Mexican coach used the match to give minutes to players with less involvement:
- Ryunosuke Sato
- Harvey Elliott
- Kayne Van Oevelen
- José Copete and Dimitri Foulquier, back after their injuries
Luis Rioja tried out at left-back and, according to Aguirre, has a «chance» of keeping that role at Vallecas on Saturday 21 November. The coach insists the situation will be turned around with better performances from the team and from himself.
