The Rayo footballer gave his opinion on an action that took place in the second half between Casemiro and Oscar Valentín that ended with his substituted teammate injured.
“That foul is red because I’ve seen it on video and in a photo. Oscar has blood on his sock. We told the referee about it and he says it’s not red because it doesn’t bend his ankle, but in pictures you can see that it is. doubles more it is divided”, he confessed.
“I understand that it is his appreciation live because there are people and it is a quick action, but I do not understand why the VAR does not warn him. The VAR was going to enter these situations, it has not entered and it has harmed us,” he concluded.
