Difficult times for Hildebrand
29 Oct 2008 - 14:26:48
Germany goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand has spoken of his unhappiness at being frozen out of the first-team picture at Valencia.
The 29-year-old joined Los Che in the summer of 2007 from Stuttgart, but has fallen out of favour at the Mestalla and has not been involved with the first team this season.
Hildebrand admitted: "I have not received any sign and I feel like I am not wanted. I am very unhappy with my current sporting situation.
"The club have shown me in the last few weeks that I am of no use to them. I have tried to work hard and train over the past two months in order to be ready and I never let my head drop.
"But it is obvious that on occasion I am not going to find it funny. Not funny at all.
"I have taken the initiative and have spoken to the bosses, coach Unai Emery and sporting vice-president, Fernando Gomez.
"I am professional enough to know that the coach sees no reason to change things. Things are going well for the team, but this does not change things for me."
