The members of the expedition ended very hot Girona Sunday Night After Match a Almeria (0-1). The joy of the three points combined, which allow the team to keep alive the dream of fighting for direct promotion, suffocated a little some spirits that have long been on. In Almeria, it was not only the players who complained on the pitch. Michel spoke of “surrealism” and “incredible” situation in the action in which the VAR repeated the penalty missed by De la Hoz and the misunderstanding caused even the delegate from Girona, Xavier Galiano, always sensible and attentive to the arbitration team, was warned. A play, the repeated penalty, which led to the expulsion of Borja Garcia from the bench and a string of yellow cards that leave Girona in the box on Friday against Malaga. He also meant his, Dolphin Geli, which was released and distributed right and left. “It simply came to our notice then. It seems that Girona has to play against many more elements than the rival “, said the president.
It is often said that the calculation of mistakes and successes of the referees at the end of the season is usually, if it does not do the same and is compensated. However, the reality in Montilivi is not quite like that. In fact, the feeling has been different for a long time. In this way, Juan Carlos Martin reminded the SER yesterday of some controversial decisions of the VAR against Girona. “It simply came to our notice then. However, we have not been lucky in our decisions. I remember the goal of Busts with his back to Vallecas or the expulsion of Stuani against Elche, in the last play-offs. Juan Carlos considers the VAR to be “a good tool” if used “properly”. “It’s often not like that and that conditions the players,” he said.
In Almeria, Girona chained their fourth consecutive victory, but also added the fourth game in a row with sensational refereeing decisions in which the VAR either abstained or whistled against the interests of the Michel. Geli listed a few. “Versus l’Eivissa we saw the clearest penalty they have given us this season (Escobar in Baena) and we will surely see it in many years and they did not even review it. The other day in Las Palmas a penalty (on Bustos) that was inside was canceled and we had to take it out.
Recidivists
The history of grievances does not end here. And it is that in the previous day, against l’Oviedo, the same duo on Sunday, Sagués Oscoz and González Esteban but with the roles changed, a penalty from Montiel to Arnau was saved as a farmhouse. It was added time, Girona took all three points (2-1) and this caused the action to be diluted in the end. The list of controversial decisions of the VAR against Girona continues.
In January, the team also saw the VAR do the trick in three consecutive games. Those shots were at the time of drawing the lines of the offside in the game of Copa del Rey against Rayo Vallecano in Montilivi (1-2) in which was canceled what would have been the 2-2 of Moreno for offside, very doubtful, of the young Gabri. A few days later, in Lezama against Amorebieta, the VAR also did not concede a goal by Stuani for another anti-regulation position. Question of millimeters or desire to do the trick? That is the question. Girona was already black then with the VAR because between the two parties, in the visit of Lugo there was also a chapter in the stadium. Then, the video referee again canceled out an offside goal to Santi Bueno where the famous lines reopened the debate. More petrol meant that Gorostegui Fernández, warned by the VAR, backtracked on the decision to whistle a penalty at the hands of the Galician Diego Alende who intercepted a header from Baena.
A goal disallowed in Bustos by another offside line of those house marks, in Miranda de Ebro, and some hands of Sipsic not signaled in the field of Tenerife in a shot of the Argentine forward, are some other actions which have made Girona kind of see how the VAR martyrs him this season.
