BARCELONA.- FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick was outraged by the pressure to which the referees are subjected in Spanish LaLiga, after weeks of complaints from real Madrid Against the arbitration collective.
“What they are doing with the referees at this time in Spain It is incredible, “the German coach at the press conference prior to the League match against Las Palmas launched on Friday.
“We have to think about the families of the referees, we all make mistakes, and if this happens in a game I think it is the responsibility of the coaches and the players to protect them,” he added.
Real Madrid, who fights for the title of the League with FC Barcelona, sent a letter to the Spanish Football Federation in which he complained about an alleged “manipulation and adulteration” of the competition, and weeks later, the referee Munuera Montero suffered insults in social networks after expelling Jude Bellingham.
The Spanish Federation announced on Friday an awareness campaign with the presence in the prolegomena of each first and second division of the motto “respects the referee, respects football.”
Flick also referred to the Barça rival in the eighths of Champions, the Benfica de Lisbon, a team that the Catalans already expired recently in the regular phase of the Champions League. “It’s a difficult game because they play very well, it’s not easy to play against them.”
Udinese punishes Lucca
Lorenzo Lucca, the top scorer of the Udinese in this course, was replaced by half an hour of the most recent match of the club after having launched a penalty instead of French Florian Thauvin, the usual shooter.
The incident took place in the first game of the 26th day of Serie A, in which the Udinese won 1 to 0 in the field of LECCE, thanks to that prison marked by Lucca.
Lucca’s initiative to launch the maximum penalty was received with obvious discontent among his teammates, who expressed his disagreement, while Thauvin, captain of the team, remained in the background.
After receiving a yellow card for that episode of anger with his teammates, Lucca launched the prison and scored it, thus signing his tenth of the series of Series A.
He was replaced a moment later by the Spanish attacker Iker Bravo, before the obvious anger of coach Kosta Runjaic.
With the victory, the Udinese provisionally rose to the tenth place and the LECCE was fifteenth.
