Double standards irk Osasuna coach (12.01.2006)
Spain (Reuters) -- Osasuna coach Javier Aguirre on Tuesday complained about double standards regarding the release of Cameroon players at this month`s African Nations Cup.
Barcelona have been given permission by Cameroon to delay the departure of striker Samuel Eto`o while Osasuna have not been given the same privilege for Pierre Webo, said Aguirre.
"I don`t think it is fair," said former Mexico coach Aguirre whose second placed side trail Primera Liga leaders Barca by four points.
"I knew Webo would have to leave now so no one has misled me but I don`t think it is right given what has happened elsewhere."
Striker Webo will miss Osasuna`s King`s Cup last-16 second leg against Deportivo Coruna on Wednesday and Saturday`s Primera Liga match at Valencia.
However Eto`o, Barca`s leading scorer with 18 goals in 18 games, can delay his departure until after Sunday`s game against Athletic
|
Bilbao.
>Webo is joint top scorer for Osasuna with four goals alongside Serbia and Montenegro international Savo Milosevic, who is out injured.
"It is difficult for me to interfere in the business of national teams but it doesn`t seem fair to give special permission to certain players," said Aguirre.
"Although I don`t like complaining, in this case it is Osasuna that have been affected."
The Mexican said he had nothing against Eto`o but it was clear he had more influence with Cameroon than Webo.
"Eto`o is a friend of mine, I like him a lot and he`s a marvellous lad. He deserves all the privileges he gets because of the sort of player he is," said Aguirre.
"I asked Webo if he could get permission to stay a few days longer but he doesn`t carry the same weight.
"We are going to try and talk with the Cameroon coach again but I don`t have much influence either, I`m just a sad Mexican coach," he added.
