TO Mouctar DiakhabyValencia's French central defender, playing at the Coliseum does not suit him well. If last season he was already a negative protagonist of one of the actions that ended in a goal for Getafe (3-0), this Saturday he was again ‘portrayed’In a set that ended with the defender seeing the direct red card in the clash that, again, ended 3-0 for the azulones.
Figueroa Vázquez, referee of the match, considered that Diakhaby blocked Maksimovic avoiding a manifest chance of scoring since the player of the Madrid team, despite being still far from Cillesen's frame, had the free way to the finish line Dutch in case of not having been fouled by the Frenchman.
Regardless of whether the red was fair or not, the truth is that Diakhaby 'fell asleep' in that action, in which he seemed to have all the advantage in the world to control the ball and move it away or give it to his goalkeeper. However, his infuriating slowness earned him the robbery and forced Maksimovic to enter, earning the direct red.
Last year, Diakhaby had another bitter drink at the Coliseum. With 2-0 on the scoreboard, it was object of a ball steal in an action in which in his opinion they were necessary. Mouctar claimed the infraction, allowing the Getafe forward to escape and take a crucial lead so that that counterattack action would end the third and last goal for the azulones.
It was not the only action of the season in which the player was portrayed. Ché fans still remember how in Lille, on the third day of the Champions League and with 0-1, he saw two yellows consecutively in minutes 82 and 84 and ended up being sent off: at the end, 1-1.
And in the return leg of the 1/16 final of the Europa League against him Atalanta in Mestalla (3-4), committed two penalties in the first half that facilitated the Italian triumph. And against Levante, also at the Mestalla on matchday 28, he committed another maximum penalty that earned the Granota team to achieve a draw (1-1).
That day, Albert celades, technician che, charged hard against the player in the press room, pointing out that “his mistakes throughout the season have cost us many points”. On Saturday, in Getafe, he met again 'portrayed'.
