The
Atlético de Madrid
He has nine finals ahead of him to fight for the title of The league. However, the last few days have been frustrating for the colchoneros. Not only for purely sporting reasons, but also for refereeing situations that have generated a strange feeling about what can happen in this decisive final stretch.
What happened in the Sánchez Pizjuán, with the goal that Gil Manzano granted to Seville and who defeated the Athletic, who had arrived after a recovery with the hand of Ocampos; added to what happened the next day in the Barça-Valladolid, with a strange expulsion and a penalty demanded by the pucelanos, they have raised many suspicions.
So much so that the president of the Professional Football League (LFP), Javier Tebas, had to step out of the comments. “There is no black hand. There may be discrepancies of criteria in the arbitration issue. I know that work is being done so that there are no errors. I trust the refereeing issue, but I think it has to be improved and I know that Velasco Carballo is working on it ”, he pointed out.
Do the statements convince fans, especially those of the Athletic? Well, the truth is that no. Sports world conducted two surveys on these issues that make it clear that the mattress fans do not trust and fear a referee trap in the last days of the competition, according to what has been seen lately.
Asked for the words of Thebes, an overwhelming 95.24% of the more than a thousand fans who participated, indicated that they believe that there is ‘a black hand’ for the Athletic we are champion. Only 4.76% understood that it was not.
In parallel, this newspaper also made another query in which it asked whether the fans believe that the referees will be decisive or not if the Athletic misses The league.
In this consultation, in which more than 4,500 fans participated, 58.43% of those who participated understand that yes, the referees will be decisive because in the “key moments” the rojiblanco team “is harmed.” There is another significant part that indicates that no, which will be simply due to the sporting downturn that the team has suffered, specifically 30.94%. Finally, 10.63%, understand that the two issues weigh, the decisions of the collegiate and the drop in performance.
