Murthy makes shushing gesture in response to protests at Valencia Valencia During the game against Alaves

Anil Murthy had a tough night at Mestalla on Saturday, coming in for criticism and whistles from the Valencia support, but he didn't just sit back and allow the fans to abuse him.

The fans had been chanting against Murthy and Peter Lim, but when a stoppage arrived they had nothing else to focus on and so the singing became louder as it spread.

Murthy, though, gestured for the fans to calm down, before placing his fingers to his lips to silence the crowd.

Afterwards, he pointed to the pitch, telling the supporters to focus on the match.

The chants came as support for Santiago Canizares, who this week denounced Murthy and claimed that a project to fight against cancer in children was cancelled.

As explained by Onda Cero, the president has called a meeting for all club staff on Tuesday at 18:00 CEST, though none of the staff know the reason for the meeting.
