The day that Jesús Gil ‘wanted to cut his neck’ to the Valencia Train
Jesus Gil was one of the most peculiar presidents in the history of Spanish football. For his out-of-tones and his peculiar way of doing things, Gil always attracted attention for better or for worse. And many times it got out of hand, like this incident with Adolfo ‘Train’ Valencia that today would have cost him even more trouble than it did.
Jesus Gil:” I cut off the black's head”
As we said, the maximum athletic agent between 1987 Y 2003 had many outbursts and very very loud. Like that time Gil slapped the then manager of Compostela at the door of the LFP. But nevertheless, his verbal excesses also put him in the spotlight, and what were the 90, far from how the world works today.
” I cut off the black's head” stated about the Colombian Adolfo ‘El Tren’ Valencia for the poor performance of the forward on the field after a game of his team against Logroñés in the old ‘Las Gaunas‘ corresponding to the season 1994-95. His signing was not very successful for the colchoneros that that year touched the second and Gil, true to his vehemence, committed this verbal excess.
“I have made black white; he doesn't make fun of me anymore. This is a joke. We made a fool of ourselves. There is no mindset. They don't run. Logroñés has taught us a lesson and deserved to win. I'm ashamed. Maybe we only give the level of Second. When i don't see attitude, I take care of my father” were the statements made by Jesús Gil at the end of the game in a distant 23 April 1995.
