• Football: Deportivo-Fuenlabrada is suspended due to massive infections in the Madrid team

The end of the SmartBank League , marked by the positive of several Fuenlabrada players that forced them to postpone their match against Deportivo , led several teams affected by that decision, such as Rayo, Elche, Numancia or the Galician team itself, to show their "disagreement" and reserve their "right to take legal action".

The last day of the SmartBank League, which was going to be played with all the games with something at stake at the same time so that none had a competitive advantage, continued after the postponement of Deportivo-Fuenlabrada .

The decision, with the majority of clubs against it, was taken "by mutual agreement" by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and LaLiga within the framework of the Monitoring Commission with the presence of the Higher Sports Council.

One of the most affected, Deportivo, who hoped to save himself and now, in the absence of his match with Fuenlabrada, is relegated to Segunda B, whatever he does in that match, he will take the decision "to the highest levels", according to its president Javier Vidal said in a press conference.

" It is a very serious error . What has occurred is very serious and the principle of equality for all the teams is not kept because there has been adulteration of the competition," he declared.

In the same line, his coach, Fernando Vázquez , was shown , who recalled that the previous Fuenlabrada League match was against Elche.

"It is a warning to the world of football. I do not understand that Elche is playing after having played against Fuenlabrada days ago, now Lugo and Albacete are playing, I think it is unfair. What difference does it make to wait three or four days? I cannot understand the communication of the League, the Federation and the CSD because it says that it is to protect the players and it is false because Elche is playing, "said Vázquez.

Elche: "It is an unfair decision"

The Elche , who won his party to the Oviedo but it depends to keep the sixth place what the Fuenlabrada, expressed their disagreement through a statement.

"As a show of professionalism, we disputed the match because if we had not done so, we would have been exposed to a sports sanction for non-appearance. We, sportingly, spoke on the field, but it is evident that a decision has been made that directly affects the integrity of the competition and that we believe it is not fair, "Elche used in his brief.

Harder was Rayo Vallecano , whose chances of entering the promotion required a three-sided carom. Win their match in Santander, which they did, that Deportivo beat Fuenlabrada and that Elche lost or tied with Oviedo.

" We do not accept this resolution as it is very detrimental to sports and economic interests and we will take all legal actions to defend the interests against this very serious abuse," the Madrid club said in its statement.

In the case of Rayo, the positives of Fuenlabrada also affected him because a footballer from his squad, Franco-Moroccan striker Yacine Qasmi, skipping the LaLiga protocol, had dinner with a Fuenlabrada player several days ago and for that reason, when His technician Paco Jémez knew that fact, removed him from the starting lineup.

The consequence is that the footballer did not participate in the match and all the members of the squad will undergo a PCR test in Madrid and will remain in isolation until the results are known.

From the bottom also came criticism of the decision to play the last day.

The Numancia: "Incomprehensible decision"

The Numancia , descended to Second B, expressed his "dissatisfaction" over the dispute of their match against Tenerife.

"This club will take all appropriate measures to defend the rights of its subscribers and regrets the incomprehensible decision made by the League, the RFEF and the CSD," the Soriano team stressed in a statement.

The Albacete , which managed to stay with a victory over Cadiz, believes that what happened was "calls into question the integrity of the competition"

"We disputed the match as a sign of professionalism with the rival and because we also did not want to be involved in a possible sports sanction due to the non-appearance of our players. Still, we consider that the decision to play this afternoon considerably affects the integrity of the competition and so we want show it, "said the manchego box.

Pending the resolution of what to do with Deportivo-Fuenlabrada, a promotional tie is already known. It is the one that will face Almería with Girona. The other will be between Zaragoza and a team to be defined between Elche or Fuenlabrada.

Below, those descended on the last day are Numancia and Deportivo, two teams that are studying the possibility of legally appealing a decision that, according to what they say, has "damaged them athletically and corrupts the competition."
