The institutional crisis in Valencia takes another step.
The fans' demonstrations against the club's largest shareholder,
Peter Lim
, and the president,
Anil Murthy
, and the criticisms of
Javi Gracia
for sports policy, with the threat of resignation included, are now joined by the players.
Geoffrey Kondogbia
, one of the captains of the squad, posted a message last night on a well-known social network against the president.
"After having destroyed an ambitious project, you had to deceive your coach and finally me. Thank you Anil Murthy", wrote the French.
It is not the first time that the midfielder has expressed critical opinions, but it is the first time in which he points to the president, with whom the squad has distanced itself in the last year.
The ambitious project to which the player refers is that of
Marcelino García Toral
, the deception of the coach is a consequence of the absence of reinforcements and his own is born of the interest of
Atlético de Madrid
to hire him after the departure of
Thomas
.

Valencia placed Kondogbia on that market list that he leaked before the end of last season and in which
Parejo
and
Coquelin were
.
During the summer, Gracia has considered him a vital piece in the center of the field and the absence of offers seemed that they would frustrate his exit.
However, the door was opened on the horn of the market closing.
The club, convinced that it had a clause of 30 million euros (something that will not happen until January) listened to Atlético de Madrid, willing to get closer to 15 million, and left the player to negotiate the conditions of a possible contract.
Kondogbia received the call from
Simeone
confirming the interest and was rojiblanco.
Suddenly the situation changed.
The uproar of the possible resignation of Gracia, the certainty that the clause was still 80 million, closed the doors.
Atlético did not arrive and then chose to offer a loan with a conditional purchase option.
The president himself told the player on a visit to the Ciudad Deportiva that, despite what was said, he would only come out if they paid his clause.
Kondogbia -who was absent from training yesterday due to discomfort in the Achilles tendon and is a doubt against Villarreal- joins Javi Gracia on the list of those injured by Meriton who remain at Valencia despite absolute distrust in the project.
