Rayo, indignant: “They force us to play under threat of loss of points and Fuenlabrada does not …”

Outrage at Rayo Vallecano before the non-suspension of the last day of the Second Division after the meeting between Depor and Fuenlabrada will not be disputed this Monday due to the six positives for coronavirus of the Madrid team. The rayista club, which is playing the playoff for promotion to Primera, considers that this measure is “adulterating the competition”, denounces that it has been forced to play “under threat of loss of points” and announces legal action.

“Rayo Vallecano is playing the play off to advance to the First Division, a project that takes a lot of work and money invested. For this, today we need to win our match, that Elche CF does not win and that CF Fuenlabrada lose. CF Fuenlabrada today has a very difficult game, as it plays against a historical rival who is playing for permanence in the Second Division and in professional football. To stay, Deportivo de la Coruña does not have to win only their game, but Albacete and Lugo do not. Thus, Suspending or postponing Deportivo – Fuenlabrada, without postponing the other parties involved, may suppose that Albacete and Lugo win their matches and Deportivo is mathematically a Segunda B team, so they would leave with great disappointment and without any force to dispute that match count Fuenlabrada, which would seriously harm Rayo Vallecano's interests ”, argues the franjirroja entity in a statement issued on its website.

El Rayo announces that it will take legal measures to defend its interests “in the face of this very serious abuse”, he said in the statement: “Rayo Vallecano is being forced to play under threat of loss of points, while Fuenlabrada is not, when they could play the match with the remaining players. That is why Rayo Vallecano does not accept this resolution as it is very detrimental to its sporting and economic interests and will take all legal actions to defend its interests against this very serious abuse. Leaving to emphasize that for Rayo Vallecano it is the health and if for that reason our party and the rest of the parties involved in playoffs and relegation have to be suspended, he does not put any objection only patience, collaboration and understanding ”.
