Simeone and Arrasate put the referees in the focus: "If I say what I think, I'm out for more games"

Jagoba Arrasate entered Dazn's post-match interview and you could see him biting his tongue before the question was asked. The rojillo coach had been expelled after angrily protesting a play that would have led to Osasuna's tie against Atlético de Madrid. The commentators explained that they had seen how Giménez pushed Aimar Oroz and he involuntarily hit Witsel. Munuera Montero, incomprehensibly, whistled for a foul on Oroz and canceled the subsequent header from David García that slipped into Oblak's goal..

“You already said it,” the red coach responded angrily before going fully into what had happened on the Sadar pitch.. “The treatment between the benches has been different from the beginning,” he complained and maintained that it is something they are used to, but he did not want to continue commenting on the controversy because, he insisted: “If I say what I think, I will be out for more games.”. The coach also mentioned that there was a lack of “freedom of expression” in LaLiga.

The coach was uncomfortable and his players were uncomfortable, who, like Pablo Ibañez, explained the game and assessed that the goal should never have been disallowed since the first one to push his teammate is Atlético's Uruguayan center back.. Furthermore, as can be seen in some frames, the ball had not been put into play before this entire sequence.. Another tough defeat for Osasuna, the eleventh in a row in the league against Diego Simeone's Atlético de Madrid.

The Argentine left very satisfied with his team's game and, above all, with the work of the two players who came to replace Carrasco. Lino and Riquelme received the highest praise from Cholo, but not the referee group that came out again in the post-match conversation with the Argentine coach and not precisely because of the controversial play of the match, which for the coach “had seen a Witsel hit” although He specified that he had not had time to see the play repeated.

Simeone entered the controversy that began with the words of the CEO of Atlético de Madrid, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, revealed by Marca in which the manager assured that Real Madrid “adulterated the competition” with respect to arbitrations. “Gil Marín ends up saying what many do not want to comment. It is clear that after the match there was more talk about the referee than about what happened and I understand that it is a way of generating that stage fright that is generated when a referee receives what he received after the derby,” commented Simeone in the post-match..

This situation is generated as a result of some images from Real Madrid TV after the derby between Atlético and the merengue team in which they indicated that there had been several “blunders” by the referee team. “Four key mistakes” are cited during the match: a foul on Bellingham before Atlético's first goal, a hard tackle by Giménez that was not punished with a red card, a “badly disallowed” goal and a handball by Hermoso inside his own area.
