Realising the bizarre nature of the line of questioning, the Pafos press officer quickly stepped in to shut it down. "Don't answer this question, I think the question is not relevant to Pafos FC. I am sorry," the officer stated firmly.
However, Celades, ever the gentleman, decided to answer the part of the question he understood. "I don't understand the last word, but we played together, yes," he said. When the reporter suggested it was "probably wise" not to answer the rest, Celades insisted on paying tribute to his former colleague.
"No, but I have a good memory of him, because we spent time together," Celades replied, referencing their time as team-mates at the Bernabeu between 2003 and 2005. "He was an amazing professional and a very good player of course."
