Cervera, on Iza's hand: “I can't say what I think because they punish me”

Álvaro Cervera, Cádiz coach, appeared before the media after Osasuna 3-2 Cádiz. The coach again showed his anger at a foul by Iza Carcelén that the VAR signaled when hitting the ball in the upper arm area when the side was jumping and trying to avoid the shot. Cervera again says that he cannot verbalize what he thinks due to the reprisals that may be taken against him. Álvaro Cervera was already close to having to serve a four-game sanction for commenting on the unmarked penalty that Foulquier committed on Alberto Perea in Cádiz – Granada. Finally, he did not have to comply with the sanction, but since then he has always shown his prudence when talking about arbitration decisions.

Assessment of the meeting. “We played a sensational first half hour, but after Akapo's injury it was another. We have restructured and we have not finished engaging the team. The second part bad, we have not been good. We are sometimes asking that we do something else. Cádiz loses balls when they try to do something else and play badly. I only liked the first half hour. Sometimes I have seen that intensity was lacking in some plays ”.

Penalty by Iza's hand. “I can't say what I think because in this country in football if you say what you think they can punish you, so I'm not going to say it. They have not told us which hands are and which are not. I think they should save the referee from going to see the VAR screen, because every time he goes he says what the VAR has said beforehand. I have not seen a single play in which the referee has taken away the reason from the VAR. Players need their arms to be coordinated when jumping and running. That's what there is, they don't want to change it and they don't do anything to change it or to explain it ”.

Cádiz, one of the teams most affected by the VAR. “It has a lot of merit to have achieved permanence in the absence of three days. In life I always think that when something is repeated it is not by chance. If we are the most affected, it will be because we are the worst in the penalty area, because if we repeat it we must be very bad, or they always look at him to whistle, which can also be. Let everyone think what he wants”.
