Gonzalo Escalantemidfielder of Alavesprotested this Saturday, after the 4-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid, that “the one they give to Pina” at the end of the first half it is “direct red”, he claimed a penalty from Renan Lodi a Edgar Mendez and explained that his team is “very sad and hurt by the result.”
“We’re bad. We’re hurt. We managed to equalize (in the 62nd minute, with a goal from him) on a field as difficult as this one. And then the penalty is a shame (which was 2-1 for the Athletic in 75). I can’t comment on that penalty. Yes, I can comment on the first Edgar) that we all saw and we all confirmed that it is a penalty, but it is clear that it is not for them. A pity”, he valued in statements to ‘Movistar’.
“And then they just showed me that at the end of the first half the one they give Pina is a straight red. I don’t understand why they can’t see it, because the referee doesn’t see it as good, but there is the WHERE. I understand that the referee cannot see it, because it can happen, but there are people upstairs who see it. And the picture is crystal clear,” he said.
Escalante, beyond the controversy, explained that his team was “in the best moment” before scoring the 1-1. “The goal came, which was the most difficult, and after five minutes, we got the penalty kick against us and we were very sad, because the game could open up a bit,” he said.
