Despite all the possible backlash for taking the decision of attending the Sevilla versus Valencia La Liga match on Sunday, Carlos Bacca decided to attend the match anyway and withstand the criticism from the press and some fans. A piece of his heart remains with the Andalusian club, which is why at the first chance he had of visiting his old club he did. A muscular injury kept him from playing at Empoli, so he requested permission to attend the match in Sevilla.
The club granted him that request and the critics have been relentless ever since, they didn't like Bacca not being involved in the team's dynamic during a difficult time for the club. It's been long since AC Milan is included in the title talk, many fans saw Bacca's actions as simply not caring about the club's future. But Bacca wanted to let everyone know that this feeling is simply far from reality.
Talking to Sevilla's official radio station, Bacca said: "I suffered an injury in the derby but I'm already recovering and catching up with the club's doctors - I'm fine. I have free days at the weekend and I came to Seville to take care of personal matters and to say hello to friends. I am attentive to what my team-mates are doing. I was not at Empoli in person but my heart was certainly there. I was keeping an eye on the result and hoping with the help of God we can get three points - that it is the most important thing."
He continued: "I have very beautiful memories from Sevilla. It was two years in which I won two titles and in which the name of Carlos Bacca was known more. I have sincere friendships here. I always follow Sevilla, I know a lot of people and I always try to keep in touch."
