“Antony’s action is not red, it does not endanger the integrity of the adversary”

The direct red that saw Antony In the elong of Getafe – Betis It was not decisive in the development of the Verdiblanca victory in the Coliseum but it will affect this week prior to the meeting against the Madrid Saturday at the Benito Villamarín stadium. The Brazilian is one of the main assets of the Verdiblanco team in this campaign and hence the transcendence of its contest before one of the most powerful teams of the championship, a showcase to show off its benefits now in this renewed stage as transferred to Heliopolis from the Manchester United. And with the attention that Antony is calling the analysis of the play have happened and the majority of the media arbitral specialists agree that the direct red is excessive in the entrance that made Juan Iglesias with the game almost completed.

In Movistar he spoke Mateu Lahozthat it was clear that the expulsion was perfectly avoidable and did not understand that Alberola Rojas did not help the VAR. «In the field you can be wrong and the entrance may seem to you but to make it a serious sudden game you have to see the point of contact. It is seen that it is almost more dangerous for Antony himself because he impacts with his instep and warm with the tacos of Juan Iglesias, ”he said initially.

«Something that surprises us is that the assistant is the one who sings to the referee La Roja. And it draws attention because the assistant never looks down, he got carried away by that impetus of Antony. Here using the VAR was very easy to have offered help to see that this action is not red because it never endangers the physical integrity of the adversary, ”confirmed the former Valencian art.

While, Pavel FernándezIn Gol Play, he said that “it is true that it is behind and without the option of reaching the ball, but I think it takes a little more to send a player to the shower before 90. In the VAR they do not consider it error. .. ».

For its part, Estrada Fernándezin the uncheck, he said that «for me it can never be red. I can understand that when you throw Antony interpret it as such. This is not abrupt aggression. I understand that they are fast situations, but the VAR is to review it. Antony never impacts with the tacos, but with the pimple. Even if there was an impact, it would be a violent game and there would be a greater sanction. The committee is going to what they have put in the minutes. And then the issue of intensity and for me never puts the physical integrity of the Getafe player at risk. I think they will maintain the sanction. The referees know what matches there are after they play, ”he said remembering that the next duel is a Betis – Madrid.

Finally, Iturralde Gonzálezin the SER chain, he did not think the same as the rest of his fellow analysts. The former Basque ex -arter said that «it is a red action. What are we going to reward the aim? The problem of the regulation is that you look at the way to enter. Do you think you could play the ball? You enter from behind and touch his leg a little. And I add what Juan de Dios Román said, myth of Spanish handball: I don’t give the referee the possibility of making mistakes ».
