Córdoba found itself facing VAR during the fifteenth day of the championship. The defeat against Cádiz at Nuevo Mirandilla was marked by two key plays resulting from green and white defensive errors, but also punctuated by the arbitral decisions. The club is not happy and the proof is the reaction of its CEO, Antonio Fernández Monterrubio.
The green and white leader went through the microphones of Cope Córdoba to assure that “I am quite upset, I never usually talk about the referees, but I did not understand the interventions of the VAR. And I hope that they us will give a clear picture of the second goal because until now I haven’t seen a clear picture and I haven’t understood the third intervention of the VAR“. The yellow card for Álex Sala after elbowing an opponent without the ball in play.
He said: “I understand that a referee at 150 beats per minute, running on a pitch, can make mistakes with the pressure. But a man watching it on television I don’t understand, they’ll have to explain it to me. The penalty is an interpretation, I have little to say about it. But the goal, if there is no clear and clear image, it cannot be called a goal. “I never talk about the referees, but today we clearly feel wronged.”
Regarding sport, he recognized that “it’s true that we lacked success, but I think that today we deserve something more here. I’m angry because matches are won and lost on the grass. and today I have a bad feeling. “I don’t want to continue talking until I see it in detail on television because live, as I say, I don’t have clear images.”
According to him, “the referee’s decisions do not exonerate the team’s play. One thing has nothing to do with the other, I never talked about the referees and I don’t talk about the referee either, I’m talking about the VAR man“. Regarding the fans, “there were 400 people here who are now coming in a bit like you. “We have to thank them for their support and for getting this far and that we are going to keep fighting and fighting to get a point, home and away.”
