Mouctar Diakhaby: I want Cala to be punished for racism

The Valencia defender insists he ‘won’t go off the field’ regarding his racial abuse case.

Mouctar Diakhaby

claimed he was racially abused by

Juan Cala

during

Valencia

’s league clash against

Cadiz

on April 4. Diakhaby and his teammates left the field in protest and the match continued with Diakhaby and Cala both being substituted. However, the league’s president

Javier Tebas

hinted in

an interview

that Diakhaby has probably ‘misunderstood’ Cala’s comment. Despite a recent

report

claiming there is no ‘substantial evidence’ of racist abuse in Diakhaby’s case, he insists on his claim and wants the FA to punish Cala for racial abuse.

He told

Marca

:

“Juan Cala insulted me ​​and called me a ‘black s**t’. You have seen my reaction and you can see in the videos what happened,

“The investigation has not ruled in favour of Cala, it’s ongoing. We will go before the Federation this week and a judge will try to solve the case.

“The story is not over. I do not understand the situation, knowing the evidence they have.

“They know clues that are confidential. There are tapes, but apparently they do not tell everything.

“I am not crazy, I am not going to go off the field and create a false controversy.

“I don’t know him personally, I can’t say he’s a racist. But that day he said racist things and I want him to be punished for that.”

Cala has not accepted the accusations and Cadiz kept him in the team’s squad for their last week’s victory over

Getafe

.
