Cerezo was asked about the statements of a Courtois who criticized the approach of Diego Pablo Simeone the other day in Champions and complaints about the penalty annulled to Julián Álvarez. “We are gentlemen and gentlemen, we don’t have to do anything against our principles (about removing the player’s plaque in the Metropolitan),” he said.
“Courtois what he has to do is shut up and be calm. He is a great goalkeeper, everyone recognizes him, we are also four years with us well and without problem. What he has to do is like when he was in Atlético, being a man and being a gentleman, apart from being a great goalkeeper,” he added.
On the other hand, Cerezo made it clear that he still does not see the two touches that annulled the penalty of Julián Álvarez in a batch that meant the elimination in the round of the Champions League against Real Madrid. “The institution that controls the referees that tried to change that situation that took place the other day, because only the one that was in the other day the other day,” he said, “he said.
“I have the UEFA images saying that it touches the ball and does not touch it, or touch it. I have always said that I don’t like the VAR, it is a disastrous tool for football,” he finished.
