Can the Vallecas suspension be a precedent for the Camp Nou classic?

• Vallecas: Insults against Zozulia suspend Rayo-Albacete
• Classic.Barça and Madrid, in the same hotel for security

The historic suspension of Rayo-Albacete for the serious and continued insults to the Ukrainian Zozulia on Monday unleashed an intense debate in all levels of Spanish football, from the Federation and the referees to the League and clubs. Nobody disputes the success of the pioneer measure taken by the collegiate José Antonio López Toca , convinced that I act correctly based on the regulations. The problem for the parties involved comes now, without knowing very well where the bar is set from this moment. In addition, the novel cancellation comes to the doors of a Barça-Madrid more polluted than ever by the Catalan political and social atmosphere .

The independence movements want to use the classic to spread their proclamations both outside and inside the Camp Nou . And there come the doubts in these hot hours on the way to the great match of the League. Should the referee of the match be aware of the chants or banners that are likely to appear? And what kind of insults are those that can cause a suspension? Only against the players or also against other objectives, such as the Spanish State? Much extra work for the collegiate, who will have enough to govern a duel of so much sports tension.

“By regulation it is his turn, but first of all, common sense must prevail. You can't watch every shout or every flag, ”they say from the Spanish Federation, where they tried to emphasize the exceptional nature of what happened in Vallecas .

The reports of the inspectors of the League, the referee and witnesses who were present speak of some ugly and constant chants since the beginning of the match against Zozulia, the player of Albacete crossed out as a Nazi by the Lightning ultras, the Bukaneros group. These same ones sabotaged long ago the signing of the striker by his team, by linking him with Ukrainian extreme right movements (they recognize themselves as extreme left).

Exceptional situation

On Sunday, having him as a rival, he was given a bill with banners and shouts ( "Nazi fucking" ) that were heard clearly during the first part. The peculiar structure of the small Vallecano countryside and the silence of the rest of the stands helped the symphony against Zozulia mark the night. The collegiate, following the protocol, gave two notices to the field delegate so that the public address system would ask that the insults be terminated. This was done, without the ultras following the warning. At the break, it was the Albacete players themselves who gave the ultimatum. They would not go out on the lawn if the chants continued. At that time, López Toca consulted with the person in charge of the police device if there were guarantees that the situation would change. By responding negatively, the referee decided to suspend.

This Monday, an active referee, Carlos Del Cerro Grande , influenced the exceptional experience of his teammate in Vallecas. «I think we will all agree that it is an anomalous action, which is not usually produced in LaLiga. It happened and the arbitrator acted according to the established protocol. What we hope is that it does not happen again in our league, ”he declared at the gala of the Marca newspaper awards.

His comment coincides with the position of the Federation, which does not want to carry more responsibility to its already guarded arbitration sector. "Many times when you are on the pitch and such behaviors are minority, it is really difficult to detect," Del Cerro justifies. From the Technical Committee of Referees it is also recalled that the League has inspectors in all stadiums to account precisely, among other things, for any inappropriate manifestation of the spectators.

They pass reports every day that are then analyzed by the Anti-Violence Commission and the Competition Committee, responsible for imposing economic or sports sanctions. In this way, Atlético de Madrid risks receiving a penalty because of the chants of his ultras against Griezmann , in the last match with Barça. However, there was no suspension of the match that night. The excuse of the arbitration guild is that they were not as majority or continued as those heard by Zozulia. A nuance of fine judgment that we will see if you have to apply Hernández Hernández on Wednesday in the classic. "Hopefully Vallecas will serve as an example to all stadiums," they sigh from the Federation .
