Pako Ayestaran on why he left out Paco Alcacer in Valencia defeat

Valencia are going through moments of high tension. Los Che lost against Eibar having already fallen in the first week against Las Palmas. Pako Ayestaran did not pick star striker Paco Alcacer, with Barcelona closing in on his signing. 

Asked about the player in the post-match press conference the coach said: "To play for Valencia you have to have your body and soul in Valencia."

Another confirmation that the transfer is soon going to happen. "I don't know how Alcacer's taken being in the stands, ask him that," added the coach.

Barcelona hope to announce the transfer soon and present him on Monday.
