Aday Benítez received an offer of €50,000

It is a topic of the day in Spain and has already led to a complaint by LaLiga with the National Police Center for Integrity in Sports and Betting (CENPIDA). At stake are the statements of Aday Benitez, the former Girona player, who said he was cheated of losing a match in 2016-2017 for 50,000 euros. Benitez, who is already retired, did not reveal the match in which he participated, but explained on the “El Bar de Sique” program, from Cadena SER, that the facts occurred when the Catalan team was struggling to rise in the division.

“You know very well that in football there are bags, gloves behind us. I was offered them, but I never accepted,” he begins with Aday’s assurance, before starting a conversation with Sique Rodríguez that we’re leaving here below (copied from the Gazette’s account):

Sikh: “Have you been offered? You lose?”

day He shakes his head and confirms: “I lose. Me and many people.”

Sikh: “How much were they offering you?”

dayAbout 50,000 euros.

Sikh: “And you did not accept.”

day: “It was ridiculous to accept that, because that year we were promoted to the First Division, there was one game left in the league. I wouldn’t have marred the whole season for one game, it was ridiculous to accept that. But I was offered…”

Sikh: “And how is that done?”

day: “They connect with a player who acts as a link and brings together trusted people inside the dressing room. You just have to pick three, to buy a goalkeeper, a central and a striker. That way you’re already on your way. But you can’t just buy three players, of course. I’ve been in situations In another club, Tenerife, I can’t confirm it, because I wasn’t one of them… But in the last league game, we had no options. They went to the knockout rounds and Sporting did. In principle, they would have played the least used and in the end they played in the usual way and we lost. 3 – 1. But I can’t confirm, because I wasn’t there. But it seemed strange to me that they played those who played all year. We didn’t play for nothing and besides, they told us they would play the least used. On the last or penultimate day it changed everything “.

The conversation continued and Aday Benitez concluded with a revelation… “shocking”. He noted, “The year we went up, we were playing drunk, it was normal for us to crush each other by about 10. In the last game, I could barely stand. But it’s normal,” referring to a fact at the time, The Catalans had already been promoted and were in a celebratory mood.
