Valencia suffered a 7-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del
Rey semi-final. A defiant Neville insists he will not resign from his position
at the club, despite suffering the heaviest defeat of his managerial career on
Wednesday.Balague believes Nevilles honeymoon period is now over - but admits
the managers job at the Mestalla was a poisoned chalice. Speaking to Sky Sports
News HQ, Balague said: Gary Neville was right when in the defeat against
Sporting he said he did not hear the fans complain about him. That was true,
that was not the case.The players were called mercenaries after their defeat
against Sporting. There was no blame attached to Gary Neville at that point.But
thats over, that honeymoon is completely over. Now the criticism has reached the
coaching staff and they are having a go at Gary Neville. Gary Neville says he
will not resign despite suffering what he called an unacceptable 7-0 defeat to
Barcelona There were 300 fans waiting for Valencia to arrive from Barcelona at
the airport and as the players were picked up at the steps of the planes and
taken away to the training ground, there were 300 fans there as well.Former
Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares, who played over 400 times for the club,
winning two league titles and two cups, labelled the Barca defeat as one of the
worst results in the clubs history while former midfielder David Albeda voiced
his concerns of relegation. Here is a look at Valencia before Neville and under
Neville As well as the fans, Albeda and Canizares - two legends of Valencia -
have also had a go in the last 24 hours, Balague added.Albeda is saying we
[Valencia] have to start thinking about not getting relegated - theyre only five
points away from the bottom three at the moment - and Canizares is saying Gary
Neville has to go and he has to apologise. [Canizares] said the best thing to
happen to Valencia would be if he goes. That is the kind of tension we are
talking about. Valencia club legend Santiago Canizares has criticised Neville
Despite criticism from former players, Balague does not expect the club to make
any snap decisions.The message from the club was very clear last night: calm,
stay calm; we want everyone to stay calm, Balague added.The problem is [owner]
Peter Lim is in Singapore, so not even at the club do they know what his
reaction is going to be. I have got the impression that both Gary and Phil feel
that there is going to be no changes and that they will be there against Betis
and be there until the end of the season.So the message is calm. The next home
game will be Barcelona in the cup - not many people will be there after this 7-0
of course - but the following game that will be at home I think there will be a
reaction of the fans against the coaching staff. Valencia manager Gary Neville
looks on during his sides 7-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Balague
accepts Neville will be held accountable for his tactical decisions but feels
the players too need to change their attitude if Valencia are going to reverse
their current slump.The criticisms they are getting after this game against
Barcelona is why [Sofiane] Feghouli, who is a right winger, played in
centre-midfield and why [Guilherme] Siquiera, who has just arrived, was playing
as a left winger. Sofiane Feghouli was played out of position against Barcelona,
says Balague But a series of things contributed to the [Barcelona] result. There
was also a lack of attitude from the players. Nobody can answer or explain that
or why that is the case.Players at the Camp Nou werent aggressive enough. The
ones that were trying to recover the ball were the Barcelona players - Sergio
Busquets, [Lionel] Messi and Neymar - and that was disappointing.Nevilles move
to the Mestalla was underpinned by his Salford City ties with Valencia owner Lim
and Balague believes the former Manchester United captain accepted a poisoned
chalice. Valencia owner Peter Lim is currently in Singapore [Criticism] hasnt
reached Peter Lim because hes put almost 200m euros into the club since hes
arrived, Balague added.The decision to put Gary Neville in charge is a little
bit of a [poisoned] chalice and the kind of decision that can go against
you.Gary Neville said yes because it was almost a favour to Peter Lim but the
questions that have been asked in Spain are: Was he prepared enough? Is there
enough respect for the process that you need to take to be a top manager, that
takes you to Valencia? Thats the kind of thing that people are discussing.Watch

female sprinters, exuberant after winning a relay race at the world
championships in Moscow, have set off a flurry of speculation that they were
protesting Russias new controversial law against gays. But two of the athletes,
who appeared to brush lips while kissing each other on the cheek, insisted
Tuesday that was not the case. Kseniya Ryzhova, one of the 4 x 400-meter relay
winners, said: "The storm of emotions going through us was
incredible.dddddddddddd And if we, accidentally, while congratulating each
other, touched lips, excuse me. We think the whole fuss is more of a sick
fantasy not grounded in anything." Russian women often kiss one another on the
cheek when celebrating a happy occasion or even just in greeting. ' ' '
