Discomfort with the VAR in the Atleti

LaLiga returned and did it wrapped in the old normality for Atlético, who chained his 13th tie in the competition at San Mamés and with the VAR on vacation. There is unrest in the rojiblanco club for an action that occurred in the 66th minute of the match, when it was already 1-1, in which Marcos Llorente fell downed in the area. Action that was not reviewed. Atlético attacks with a center from the left and the middle, yesterday as a striker, he goes to finish when Yuri pushes him from behind, with both hands, ignoring the ball, in the small area. Neither the referee punished the play nor did he receive a warning from the VOR room. In fact, the move was hardly repeated on the television broadcast.

It rains on wet in that sense for the rojiblancos this season. Before the confinement, the pandemic and the crisis unleashed by COVID-19, Enrique Cerezo, rojiblanco president, cried out about the performance of the VAR at the Movistar LaLiga microphones in the derby against Madrid at the Bernabéu, claiming a penalty on Morata. “It is a shame, we are not here to be robbed,” he said. “In my opinion it was a penalty for Morata and the VAR should have revised it, the VAR with vee not with be,” he added.

Angry at the fans too

In the resumption of LaLiga, the VAR was again a smack for the rojiblancos, who despite the fact that the results of the day were favorable for him to climb the table and access what he wants, Champions places, tied in San Mamés, chased by the shadow of the VAR, something that also angered fans on social networks, who demanded it insistently.
