José Bordalás: “We are outraged, we do not understand that the VAR has called a penalty”

MADRID, 18 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Valencia coach, José Bordalás, assured that they were “outraged” by the penalty that resulted in the 2-1 in the defeat this Sunday at the Camp Nou against FC Barcelona and because the VAR did not enter to cancel a play that he considered ” very, very decisive. “

“I think the penalty play was decisive because the game was very close and because it was not. I was able to see it after the game and in the field Gayà told me that he had clearly touched the ball. It was very, very decisive and We do not understand that since the VAR exists, a penalty has been called and we are obviously outraged, “said Bordalás at a press conference.

The Alicante coach regretted that this move had given “an advantage to a rival of Barcelona’s potential”, although he did not want to talk about whether the defeat had been unfair. “Yes, it was not a game to lose 3-1 because the team has made merits, especially in the second half, to tie,” he commented.

The coach of the Valencian team also complained about the “many fouls” that Gonzalo Guedes had received and did not want to be an alarmist despite having five days without winning. “When you are several days without winning you are not happy and we work to get victories again. Now we have to analyze the game and continue working for the game against Mallorca,” he warned.
