FROM Leeds live:-
Crespo translated
This is a very rough translation of what Crespo said, provided by our good friends at Google Translate.
Marcelo: his apology made me rewind 14 years of a pain that I still have inside. That feeling leads me to write this letter. When you speak, you run the risk that the anger will push you to say some unfair word. Think, rewrite, give time to reflect. Even though that does not change what I felt: it was a tremendous disappointment to feel cheated by a leader like you. The sadness was as great as the esteem I had for him. I had believed him from the first day that we met in Parma. You not only told me your game ideas for the National Team. He told me about the way to handle himself as a driver, his personality to make decisions without caring about the faces, Marcelo. Do you remember? It was a mature talk, although at a distance it distorted a bit. Everything we talked about was in privacy. Like you, I was never to open the doors of the changing rooms to the media or to the people. The fans do not want internal but respect for the shirt.
Today I do it public because I got their words in Leeds. Of course, Marcelo, I accept your apology. I already forgave him a long time ago, if I had to forgive him. I’m sorry we did not speak personally, not even by telephone. But it’s never late. In addition, we both know that he had already realized “his grave error” long before this statement. It was clear the last time we discussed the subject. You remember how he spoke to me and what my crude response was ... I would not have reacted that way just by discovering a word game to motivate. You were and are smart enough to know that a player does not improve his level by a lie. If it happened, that footballer would be more foolish than immature. I do not want to go into details that neither of you will give. In fact, that remains in the background. The most important thing is the teaching that leaves the situation that now remembered. As Marcelo told us so many times, we must deal with the truth, without deceiving the other. At the end of the road, whoever proceeds like this is not only the best leader but also the most mature
It made me happy to hear it, Marcelo. I send you a hug. Hernán Crespo.
