Anger in Alcorcón for the treatment with the VAR and the sanctions

I respect. This is the word that has been used on several occasions in recent months by Fran Fernández in the press room. The potter technician has never blamed the referees for the team’s sporting situation, but He has always asked that the VAR actions that may fall on Alcorcón’s side be reviewed with the same care as those of the opposite. In the last league match against Ponferradina, Alcorcón did not win the game because they disallowed a goal in minute 93 that, for many, was inside. After the game Fernández was clear again: “Today we feel harmed again.”

This Friday who has spoken has been the club. The AD Alcorcón in an extremely polite and measured statement has made it clear that “we do not establish any relationship between the work of the referees and our poor sporting results”. However, the pottery entity considers that “with the same sincerity and objectivity, we consider that, in the global computation of the season, in the application of rules, sanctions or VAR reviews, we are applying a rigor, criteria and regulatory interpretations that, honestly, , we frequently see tighter than we usually see this season in equivalent situations from our rivals.”. For him Alcorcón they do not feel that the rigor and interpretation of the rules are comparable at certain times.

The club has also shown its support for the coach Fran Fernández after being sanctioned with two matches: “Our coach Fran Fernández has shown a respectful and measured attitude towards refereeing throughout his career with AD Alcorcón. Without evaluating specific actions, we want to publicly express our support for his respectful and responsible behaviour”.

Injustice

The Almeria coach explained in the press room prior to the match against Lugo that “I refer to the club’s statement. The sanction of two games for saying ‘respect us please’ seems unfair to me. Just as we asked for images to clarify that the ball had not entered. I respect the arbitration group and I think that the situation with us lately is not being fair.”
