Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, argues there should have been a suspension of football activiites in Spain after flash floods which killed over 215 people in Valencia, Spain.
“Football is a party and you can only celebrate and party when you, your family and everybody is well. When people are not well, you don’t party,” said Ancelotti.
“But we are not the decision-makers. We have to follow the instructions of those who are in charge. There are many ways to help. Football had to stop and then help. Everyone has been clear about it – nobody wanted to play.”
Real Madrid’s trip to Valencia and Villarreal’s game against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Saturday were postponed, after a request by La Liga to the Royal Spanish FA (RFEF).
However, six top-flight matches went ahead at the weekend.
Six Copa del Rey games featuring La Liga clubs, including Valencia, were postponed last week after authorities advised against non-essential travel in the area.
