Few times has Francisco Rodríguez been seen as pissed off as he happened after Girona 0-1 Mallorca, in which the referee González Esteban and Pérez Pallas, in the VAR, were too protagonists.
“They have been better at the beginning. We made a serious mistake at high pressure and they scored us in the second row, it was something that could happen. From here the team has been rebuilt and we have managed to draw. It was a legal goal and we have all seen it on the field ”, the Girona coach declared forcefully, who saw how on 17’ the VAR rectified the referee's decision to annul Pablo Moreno's goal.
The controversy began here, but continued throughout the meeting with different actions. “I can't get hot. The coaches have been sanctioned for getting into a mess like that and I can't do it because it would hurt the team. I want to think that the referees are not wrong on purpose, “said Francisco, who left” pissed off and screwed up with everything that has happened. “
“They have made more fouls, it has not been possible to play anything in the last ten minutes and we have left with two expulsions,” reflected the Andalusian, who is clear that Mallorca had to have finished with ten for an inordinate entrance of Galarreta to Mamadou in the equator of the second half. “The footballer has never intended to touch the ball. It's the same thing that Monchu did in Almería and saw the red card ”. The controversy did not end here, because the referee first expelled Ramalho for an alleged attack and already, with the game over, Mamadou. “Mamadou is a good kid and he told me that he did not speak to the referee. I believe my player, because if not, he will have a fine, “he explained.
With eight casualties and at a time when everything seems to be going against them, Girona has had Mallorca on the ropes until the final whistle. “Now is a difficult time, casualties, everything that happens, but the message is that we have to be more united than ever because when we are, the results will be different,” said the coach.
