Ezequiel Garay smashes it! Benfica champion who never held back | OneFootball

Peter Lim's investment in Valencia has generated a lot of controversy, and the historic Spanish club is going through a rough patch. In the opinion of Ezequiel Garay, former Benfica player, all the responsibility lies with the businessman, who is one of the personalities very close to Jorge Mendes.

“Hopefully he leaves [Peter Lim], for the good of the club. The evidence is clear, the club is not taking off. There is a very big problem. As long as the one at the top (Peter Lim) doesn't leave, nothing will change,” said Ezequiel Garay, who played for Valencia for four seasons, between 2016 and 2020.

“I was the first [to be let go], because I didn't agree with a situation, which was the dismissal of Marcelino. That hurt me. Then I got injured and that was used as a pretext for them to eventually release me. It hurts when I think about it, because they left me abandoned,” adds Ezequiel Garay.

“I can't imagine Valencia in the Second Division. I really like its people, its fans. They treated me very well, many people at the club, except for those at the top,” concludes Ezequiel Garay, in statements on the podcast El Cafelito, commenting on the crisis of the historic Spanish club. The former footballer was at Luz very recently.
