The Betic technical director was questioned in a conference about the attacker’s decision, and did not hide that “I disagree with Borja”.

“Personally, I think that defending a national team is always the best,” said Pellegrini, adding that “I like when my players are called up to the national teams”

“And I don’t think it’s a reason to stop going. He disagreed with Borja. A player must be willing to defend the colors of his country regardless of the person who did something stupid, or didn’t do it, you can’t put both things together”, he added.

Along the same lines, Pellegrini remarked that “I think Borja will react and be absolutely willing to defend his country’s team”.

Borja, through a letter on his Social Networks, had written that “wearing the Spanish National Team shirt is one of the greatest things that has happened to me in my career. I don’t know if at some point I will be an option again, but I have made the decision not to return until things change and this type of act does not go unpunished”.
