• Chronicle: VAR appeases drama at Camp Nou

The whistles to Josep Maria Bartomeu and the shouts of resignation returned to the Camp Nou. More timidly, compared to the match against Eibar, initially, but more intense when Barca suffered to finally win the victory against Real Sociedad. The image of the Barca president is still very touched. And even Gerard Piqué did not hesitate to pull again by elevation. It was in his first intervention, as soon as the game was over, before the cameras of Movistar LaLiga and following the controversy over the outbursts of Eder Sarabia in the Bernabéu.

«When the club is in weakness, these kinds of things arise. A few weeks ago, after the defeat against Valencia, they said that the players did not make the circle before the game. And it wasn't because of a bad feeling, it was simply because, with the change of coach the warm up was different . This is the same. It is normal for the second coach to be with adrenaline in the Bernabéu and manifest himself in this way, ”said the Barca player.

«All players see it completely normal. In the locker room he apologized , and we told him that for us it was not, that if he did it because of the club's image, it was understandable, but we don't care and we like that there is intensity on the benches. It's another story of what happens when the club is in weakness. And if we have to go out and deny it, then we do it and that's it, ”the defense insisted.

«It seems that he killed someone ... He is a person who lives football very intensely and the comments he made is the most normal thing in the world. It seems that people cannot express themselves as they wish. I would have done the same, or worse. Everyone has to be respected, ”added a Jordi Alba who exploded before the stands in the stands.

«Nobody likes the public to go against him, especially in your stadium. I respect everyone, but I also want them to respect me . The attitude is good, all players give everything on the pitch. We don't like to play badly, but whistling in the 15th minute is something that I don't think is welcome. I respect everyone and also ask that they respect me, ”said the side, who had a severe gesture towards the stands after scoring a 2-0 that, finally, did not go up to the scoreboard.

From his point of view, the troubled club environment is not beneficial for the team either. “When there is that murmur in the field, it is not easy , but in the end we have to live with it. I understand people's anger, in part, I just hope they help us. With your support, I'm sure everything will be much better for us, ”he added.

"The fans may not contemplate that Real can dominate, but they are having a great season," said Quique Setién when asked about his team's whistles. Above all, because in his opinion the victory was deserved. «It is true that we had to win thanks to a review of the VAR, but that happens in many games. If we had marked any of the occasions we had, we would not have needed it. The day you have luck on your side, you put them in any way. Now that is not happening, but it does not worry me. The important thing is to create them, ”he settled.
