Carlo Ancelotti gave a rant. After Real Madrid’s success on Thursday against Cadiz (2-1), the Italian coach challenged certain refereeing decisions.
Without French striker Karim Benzema, Real Madrid revived by defeating Cadiz (2-1, 14th day of La Liga), Thursday at Santiago-Bernabeu, a victory won thanks to goals from Eder Militao and Toni Kroos. Before the long international break, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar requires, the Merengues thus returned to two lengths from FC Barcelona. After the meeting, it was an annoyed Carlo Ancelotti who appeared in front of the media. Not to criticize the performance of his players but to charge the arbitration. The Italian coach regretted that the numerous fouls suffered by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes did not result in heavy penalties for the opponent.
“It affects Spanish football”
“On the action of Rodrygo, they will have reasons not to appeal to the VAR. It seemed clear to me, a punch. I saw a video that is not clear. They will have arguments for not using VAR.” The former Paris Saint-Germain coach continues on the treatment given to Vinicius Junior. “He is handling what is happening very well. He has a particular marking of opponents. In the last games, we touched him many times and he controlled himself well. The other day I saw a statistic that is important for Spanish football. She says that in the five major championships, it is the one where there are the most red cards. 55 against 10 in the Premier League. I don’t want to say that tonight there wasn’t red, because there was red. But many are not. It affects Spanish football, which is not lousy football. Having more than 50 red cards means a lot. This is a data that affects the show. Seeing a 9 v 11 game is not a game.”
