Javier said he and Vargas are very professional people, "We are both professional, so any decision to conflict is made from the perspective of the team, for the good of the team and the whole." ”
Javier then revealed that he had shaken hands with Vargas and said, "We have to manage not only with our right hand but also with our left hand, we have accepted his apology, his apology is very sincere, now the atmosphere in our team is very good, like a big family, we will stick together." ”
Even so, Javier revealed that Vargas was suspended internally for a week, "We have made a decision, Vargas will reflect and calm down for a week, and he will return to the team after we play Zhejiang, hoping that he will play at the level he should after calm and reflection." He's a great player, but he needs to be on the pitch. ”
