Haaland Rajada: “Scandal!”

“I think it was a scandal in terms of refereeing,” said the Borussia Dortmund footballer.. Clear and direct. Erling Braut Haaland showed his anger on the microphones of Viaplay Football for the refereeing performance of Felix Zwayer during the match against Bayern Munich. Although there were several actions that ended up despairing of the Norwegian, the one starring the captain of the Borussers and Lucas Hernández was the one that put the cry to the sky: “It was a clear penalty on Reus. I said to the referee: ‘Why haven’t you gone to watch (the VAR)’ – he told me ‘it’s not necessary’ like an arrogant … No, now I have to calm down a bit. “

Although he scored for the second straight game for Borussia Dortmund after recovering from injury, it was not Erling Braut Haaland’s day. Neither yours nor the borussers… nor, according to the Norwegian striker himself, the match referee Felix Zwayer. Several dubious actions that took place during the match, as well as the play that ended up deciding it, led the Borussia Dortmund forward to post a message on his personal Twitter account. He showed his anger at the performance of the German referee, although he ended up deleting the ‘tweet’ shortly after.

Haaland scored 2-2 in the second half against Bayern Munich, but in the final stretch of the match the VAR awarded a penalty to Serge Gnabry, which would end up making it 2-3 Robert Lewandowski. First anger. The maximum penalty was widely protested by the Borussers coach, Marco Rose, and he ended up being sent off by the referee. Second anger. And if it was not enough, the same VAR that had awarded the penalty to Bayern did not do the same with a dubious action by Lucas Hernández on Marco Reus inside the area. Third anger, and Haaland exploded. The Norwegian could not suppress his anger at everything that happened during the meeting and showed it, for a short time, on social networks.

Part of his anger was also reflected on the pitch. Already with 2-3 on the scoreboard, the Borussia Dortmund coaching staff decided to replace Haaland. The 21-year-old striker, who left his place to Steffen Tigges in the 82nd minute, left the pitch visibly pissed off. While the “unfriendly” face that the Norwegian showed when he started on his way to the bench could be related to the substitution, the message posted on Twitter suggests that Haaland had several reasons to be angry.

General anger in Dortmund

Somewhat less pragmatic than the Norwegian footballer was Borussia Dortmund coach Marco Rose. In the post-match interview, the German coach stated on the microphones of Sky Sports Alemania that “we all saw what happened. Marco Reus’s action is a clear penalty. Mats Hummels’ hand is at least debatable, it’s a shame. Mr Zwayer (match referee) is welcome to lead some more Borussia Dortmund matches. It can put a few more obstacles in our way. “.

The words of the protagonist of the action, Marco Reus, and his teammate Emre Can, stating that it was a clear penalty for Lucas Hernández, as well as that “The referee has given the game to Bayern”, they surprise something less than those of Thomas Müller, footballer of the Bavarian team. The German footballer, also at the end of the match, recognized in Sky Sports Germany “There you can whistle a penalty. I can understand the frustration and anger (of Borussia Dortmund), but I can also understand the referee in the action of (Lucas) Hernández “.
