Balde received racist insults from the crowd in the Colosseum and the officials inquired during the Rust-de Daders still have to be established.
Balde was asked how he dealt with the situation, but despite his age, signs showed that he was stunned by it.
“It was a difficult situation. I have received various insults. I don't know what to say. Because 3 or 4 people insult you, it should not be generalized for all of Spanish football. I think I acted well during reporting. Being black is called … doesn't bother me. I am black and I am proud of it. What surprises is that I have the fact that they abuse you if Getafe has a black captain. '

Two are teammates who go through a difficult period are Ansu Fati, due to injuries and a lack of opportunities, and Inaki Pena, who seems to have lost his place to Wojciech Szczesny in the goal in recent weeks.
'[Ansu Fati] Is one of my best friends, but he wants to improve and help. He has incredible talent and he will come back. '
'[Pena] Looks good for me. I spend a lot of time with Inaki. He is one of the most difficult employees in the team, the first to arrive in the gym and the last to leave. He looks good for me. “
