The last arbitrations have got the Getafe players very upset. Above all, they are hurt by the decisions that are made from the VAR and that are later reflected on the pitch. Quique said yesterday after the game that he was “one of those confused by the VAR”. He did not want to go further. Some players expressed it on their social networks. The first was Arambarri: “How easy it is to whistle against the blues” he pointed out on his Instagram. Olivera reviewed the play of his both canceled, with the lines too tight and poorly shot in his opinion. The emoticons that accompany the images showed suspicion of him. Gastón and Cabaco also published images of this play showing disbelief.
In the Getafe dressing room they are very upset with what happened in San Mamés. The expulsions of Cuenca and Jankto plus Olivera’s disallowed goal have put an end to the patience of many players. In the red of Cuenca, they estimate that if the play continues to be reviewed, there will be a prior foul on Djené, regardless of the severity of the sanction. Three games ago, the Madrid center-back was also expelled to VAR stays in which Gil Manzano was (yesterday’s field referee). If the expulsion was exaggerated, it is even more annoying to see that since that play there have been dozens of entries more dangerous than the one from Cuenca to Edgar that have remained unreviewed.
A sector of the Azulona fans asks that the club raise its voice, something that surely will not happen. Ángel Torres has always been against public responses against arbitrations and has asked all his coaches to exercise caution in this type of situation. Getafe has not just left the danger zone and the latest arbitration decisions do not help to find calm. The national team break will come in handy to clear minds before what will be a final at the Coliseum against a direct rival like Mallorca. And with the losses due to suspension of Mitrovic, Cuenca and Jankto. The San Mamés thing has consequences.
