The coach of Valencia, José Bordalás, complained after his team’s defeat in Mestalla (1-2), about the VAR criteria in his team’s matches and indicated that “it seems that it does not work in favor of Valencia”.
In that sense, Bordalás recalled that “in Bilbao, in Vallecas and in this one we had no luck with the VAR”. “In addition, there is a possible second card to Torró that incomprehensibly did not call and the penalty was not awarded to Bryan Gil. It is a reality that when it happens the other way around they talk about the game of Valencia or the Bordalás teams. It is like that, “he added.
In his reading of the match, the coach from Alicante commented that Osasuna put “very good pressure on and we lacked movement faster and then in the second half we started with that penalty”.
He also considered that his team lacked forcefulness and that although they tried after the penalty goal at the beginning of the second half, Budimir’s second goal stopped any attempt along with some arbitration decisions.
“It’s a defeat we didn’t expect and now we have to focus on Tuesday’s game against Villarreal. We’re not thinking of a bad run, it was an unexpected defeat and I don’t think it will influence the Cup final next Saturday,” said Bordalás .
The Valencian coach indicated that he has given rest to some players with many minutes and played because they did not want to take risks since “we have to get to Saturday’s game well, which is a final.”
“We are in the League where we should be, that is the case due to merits and demerits, like all teams,” added the Valencia coach, who reported that Guedes is suffering from cervical discomfort.
