Imanol Sheriff: “We didn’t deserve arbitration like this”

“We wanted to compete in another way, arbitration has not left us”

MADRID, 14 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The coach of the Royal Society, Imanol Alguacil, lamented the bad performance of the referee in Old Trafford this Thursday, who did not let his team compete as they wanted to advance in League Europe, suffering a “cruel” elimination in the round of 16 that he did not know how to explain after so many misguided decisions.

“Cruel, you don’t even know how to explain it without wanting to put excuses. The United has been better. I would have liked to see the two teams compete from you to you and it could not be because the referee in this case, the only penalty that has existed did not want to whistle and has been those who have not been,” he said in statements to Movistar Plus, collected by Europa Press.

“We did not deserve an arbitration like that, neither the United nor us, with a neutral arbitration. I am very sorry for the fans. There has not been possible because it has been constantly, not only those decisions that mark, it is since the 15th minute, it is continuously. To the players nothing to blame. We have entered the game very well. We wanted to compete in another way,” he added.

Sheriff also regretted the Brais Méndez injury. “A defeat always hurts, but this feeling, a more powerful mosque, and again the injury of Brais Méndez. It is the worst of today’s defeat. Arbitration has not left us,” he ended.
