Initially scheduled for November 2 before being postponed due to deadly floods in the south-east of the country (231 deaths), the clash of extremes pitting Valencia, nineteenth in Liga, against Real Madrid, runner-up to Atlético de Madrid kick-off took place this Friday evening at Mestalla. A late match on day 12 ultimately led to a totally crazy evening, in many ways. First by its scenario. Quickly led after a goal from Hugo Duro and pushed for a long time, the Merengues nevertheless found the necessary resources to win at the wire (2-1) thanks to two goals from Luka Modric (85th) and Jude Bellingham (90+5th). ). A valuable success allowing Carlo Ancelotti’s men to regain the lead in the championship with 43 points, ahead of the Colchoneros (41 pts), who however have a game in hand, and FC Barcelona (38 pts).
Vini has completely lost his nerves!
Yes, but there you have it, in addition to accounting considerations, this poster was above all marked by a new refereeing controversy involving Vinícius Júnior, sent off ten minutes from time for a nasty gesture on Macedonian goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski (79th). Guilty of a shove on the Valencian goalkeeper, sanctioned with a yellow card for having previously provoked the Brazilian, Vini finally saw red before pulling the pin. Restrained by several teammates and staff members – an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti even had to intervene to accompany him to the locker room and prevent him from worsening his situation a little further – the Auriverde international (37 caps, 5 goals) thus left burst out his rage.
“Vinicius was sent off for deliberately hitting an opponent in the head, without the ball being in play, using significant force. Once sent off, the player had to be restrained by members of his club and taken to the locker room while his protests continued.finally noted Cesar Soto Grado, the referee of this meeting, in his report. A decision deemed unfair by Real Madrid and which clearly does not pass muster in the Spanish capital. While Vinicius’ blood attack makes the headlines of the entire Spanish press and the former Flamengo player risks a 4-match suspension, Real Madrid does not intend to stop there and intends to appeal to cancel this red card.
Real will appeal!
“We will appeal and file an appeal but I don’t know if it will be accepted. We think there was no red. It could have been resolved with a yellow card on each side. Vini suffered, there are days when he is good and others where he is a little less, I hope he can participate in the next match.declared, in this sense, Carlo Ancelotti to the journalists. If the person concerned apologized on his social networks, at the end of the meeting, Real Madrid TV for its part devoted a good part of the post-match program to the analysis of the expulsion from the native of São Gonçalo. And indignation was at the heart of the exchanges… “The refereeing system must be very hurt today, because Madrid beat Valencia, Medina Cantalejo, the refereeing system and Negreira”the Merengue media got carried away in particular before attacking the evening refereeing.
“The fact that the VAR (led by Muñiz Ruiz, editor’s note) calls Soto Grado (the referee of the match) and only offers him part of what happened in the game is manipulation, a false representation and falsification of the competition. The referee decides to send off Vinicius and not the Valencia goalkeeper. The perpetrator of the offense is the beneficiary. If there is provocation, both must be expelled”. And to conclude: “a few years ago, the judge had already declared that there had been manipulation and distortion of images in this same scenario and with Vinicius as the protagonist. Since then, no one has had to answer for their actions. The Negreirato continues to act in the same way and with the same obscurantism that we know today”. A cash outing confirming Madrid’s anger. It now remains to be seen what sanction was proclaimed, or not, against Vinícius Júnior…
