The dispute between Vicente and Álvaro

It is inevitable that in a race on the bench, as on the pitch, there will be moments of discussion or explicit change of opinion. That happened between Álvaro Cervera and Vicente Moreno in the 2018-19 season, in which both trained Cadiz and Mallorca and, finally, they managed to rise hand in hand with First division. But there was a day when they sparked.

With 0-1 on the scoreboard for Mallorca, who was playing with one more footballer due to the expulsion of Jairo for slapping Dani Rodríguez, Cádiz in a play of the game decided not to throw the ball out. At that time, Cervera narrates it like this: “There is a play in which we do not return it and he gets up from the bench looking for me and I have lost my papers. It is very sad that the one who reacts and not the one who provokes is always punished.”

In the images you can see how after that reaction and the visitor’s bench was lifted, Álvaro points out Vicente Moreno in an airy way. They have to hold him and the referee decides to send him off. “If you see the minutes you will have it clear. I do not like that on top of it it looks like I have caused. There are cameras and referees. It would be more missing if I could not look to one side or the other. For me that remains in the field”Vicente Moreno said at the time.

Cervera alluded to his words with a clear sentence: “Vicente Moreno says that you have to read the minutes because it does not tell the truth; he provoked me and found me”. After that sporadic episode, on the way back, the now Espanyol coach put in value Cervera’s work at the head of Cádiz: “Álvaro is a person that I don’t know much on a personal level but who always seems to me to be very coherent and clear in his statements and thoughts. I think he is right in many things, he goes first and is going to achieve promotion and despite that he does not share this new football. “

Now both are measured in First, again, settled in an area outside the descent, but with the obligation to start adding more points. Two successful technicians for the moment in their projects facing each other again.
