The Uruguayan midfielder will miss the next Real Madrid match against Sevilla (S / 16.00 hours)
Finally Fede Valverde only missed a match for the direct red that he saw in the last moments of the extension of the Super Cup final against the Atlantic, after a hard entry to Morata. The only judge of Competition, who has addressed the case, has made this decision in application of article 114.1, with which Valverde, one of the revelations of the season in Spanish football and decisive in recent times in the Zidane schemes, missed next Saturday the important LaLiga Santander match against Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabu stadium.
That first point of the aforementioned article (114.1) says: “The direct expulsion during the course of a match will result in the imposition of the suspension penalty for at least one match, unless the act constitutes a major offense, with the corresponding pecuniary accessory “. Although it also adds something that has not been taken into account: “In those cases in which the expulsion from the field of play is due to situations in which the player had not had the chance to play the ball, the suspension will be at least two games “.
Valverde was ejected with direct red after making a foul on the red and white lvaro Morata when he escaped alone in the direction of the Real Madrid team. The action prevented the Atlantic could try to beat the goal Thibaut Courtois and although Real Madrid remained in inferiority as soon as time remained, it held the 0-0 and then won its ninth Super Cup in the penalty shootout.
Simeone's gesture
The referee of the meeting, Jos Mara Snchez Martnez, see in the minutes of the final that Valverde was expelled for “knocking down an opponent thereby preventing a clear chance of scoring.”
Diego Pablo Simeone, coach of the Atletico de Madrid, considered that said Uruguayan action defined the final result of the tournament, played in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), although he understood Valverde's decision to take Morata away and so he also saw it when the player left the lawn.
“It was something that should not be done with teammates who are playing. I apologize to lvaro but it was the only thing I had left to do for the team. I am happy for the title, but I have the thorn for what I did because it was not good” , said Valverde before the media in the press room of King Abdullah Stadium after being named the most valuable player in the final by the national coach, Luis Enrique, and his team and the RFEF sports director, Jos Francisco Molina.
