The refereeing at Leganés-Almería last Saturday is still in progress despite the fact that the new day begins tomorrow. José Gomes already showed his discomfort hot (but in a respectful way) and the club has requested from the RFEF the audios between the VAR and López Toca, arguing that the federative entity should have no problem if there is nothing to hide. Even the mayor of the city has spoken about it, considering that “cleanliness” should prevail in the fight for promotion..
“Nobody understood the penalty. I am not going to be the one who questions the professionalism of the referees nor am I going to fall into conspiracy theories, but I think it is time to vindicate the right of Almeria and the fans of UD Almería fight with enthusiasm and cleanliness for the promotion “, says Ramón-Fernández Pacheco, aware of what the role of the rojiblanco club means for the province of Almería. “It is something that greatly transcends the merely sporting level and that encompasses other levels as important as the social one., the economic or the projection of Almería itself. Besides, you can't play with the illusion of so many people, “he says about it.
The mayor of Almeria, like the club itself and the fans, asks to be able to listen to the conversation between López Toca and Sagués Oscoz. “The Federation has a wonderful opportunity to carry out a transparency exercise by making the VAR audios public so that everyone knows what was the conversation between the main referee and the VAR referee., which ended in a penalty that nobody understands, “says Fernández-Pacheco.
“Almería have the right to grow in a fair and equal competition for all. All we ask is respect”, continues the mayor of the city, recalling the investment that the Saudi property has been making since August 2019. “The club is making a huge effort, as well as the city in that dream that supposes to fight with certain guarantees to rise to First Division “, expires.
