Al Wasl player Brazilian Fabio Lima confirmed that the referee, Ahmed Salem, deprived «Emperor» correct penalty in the game Al Wahda, the day before yesterday, which ended in a draw with two goals each, at the end of the seventh round of the Arabian Gulf League, noting: I don't know why the mouse is in league games, but it is not used properly in cases where the technology is needed.
Lima told Emirates Today that for the first time he will have the desire to talk to the media after the matches, explaining that he does not attack the refereeing or want to criticize, but at the same time expressed surprise at the fact that a penalty was not awarded as correct, in the interest of his colleague Ali Saleh, who was blocked by Uruguayan player Nicolas Melesi, in the final minutes of the game.
He added: «I do not find a clear reason not to use the referee match video technology, to verify the validity of the case or not, especially since this technique was applied for these cases, and it does not make sense to use the technology for up to four or five minutes, in the case that was "When Melesi was sent off, before he was undone after confirming (the mouse), while when there was suspicion of a penalty in favor of the connection, he merely used the headset to communicate with the video control room, despite the importance of the situation."
"Before the start of the season, there was a lot of interest from the FA and the referees committee to explain how the technology was applied to all clubs. The players came to explain the cases that deserve the mouse, while on the ground we didn't see it happening on the pitch."
`` I think we played a very good game, and we showed that we can do very well, especially as the team was delayed with an early goal, but we managed to come back and score two goals, '' he said.
He added: «The team in general performs well in the past games, we have achieved victory over Al Dhafra and only, and we were close to the victory over Al Wahda, and I see that these results give the players confidence, and make them overcome the negative start in the first four rounds». As for the injury he felt in the game, he said: «I suffered a muscle injury before the game Al Wasl with Al Ittihad in the Arab Clubs Cup, so I did not travel with the team to Jeddah, while I recovered and participated in front of Al Wahda, and I am 100% ready, and what happened during the game "I had a muscle strain in one of the balls, but I was not affected by this injury, and I continued the game without any problems." Al Wasl coach Roman Regicamp said Al Wasl deserved a penalty in the final minutes of the game, pointing out at the press conference that the Uruguayan player, Uruguayan Melesi, deserved the expulsion because of Ali's obstruction.
