Chronicle Madrid reacts in time against Espanyol and puts pressure on Barça before the classic
News Real Madrid is considering appearing as a private prosecution against suspicions of "corruption" at Barça
"
Card
?"
Vinicius
yelled at
Figueroa Vázquez
.
And the referee agreed.
At that moment, and after a game that was being quiet, the Brazilian footballer fell to the ground, disconsolate and laughing, while Espanyol
waited
to take out the free kick he had made on
Cabrera
.
A foul after a struggle 80 meters from the goal.
A rigorous decision that
Ancelotti
protested from the band.
On the pitch,
Modric
made "
calm
" gestures to
Vinicius
and
Kroos
approached to hug him and whisper some advice in his ear.
It was the
eighth yellow card
of the season for the Brazilian, against one of the players with the most warnings in the competition:
Baena
(Villarreal),
Javi Sánchez
(Valladolid) and
Óscar Gil
(Espanyol), with nine.
A contradictory fact as Vinicius is the footballer, by far, who suffers the most fouls on each day.
3.9 per game
, more than any other player in Europe (3.3
Neymar
, the second) and one more per duel than the second in this section in Spain:
Isi Palazón
2.9.
"This season a lot is happening.
It cannot be that I am the player who is fouled the most
and the one who
has the most cards
," complained the Brazilian in the mixed zone, where he criticized the treatment given to him by the referees: "When it's with me the The referees don't whistle or card the others, but whenever I make the first foul they card me.
It's what it is
."
However, against Espanyol, he avoided the controversies of other matches and managed to focus on football, scoring the equalizer and being important in the team's comeback: "He seemed exemplary to me today, he didn't protest, he didn't say anything... He played very well, it must continue like this", Ancelotti praised him, while the Brazilian took the advice: "I have to try to improve and keep my head calm to play and help my teammates.
However, on the pitch
Carletto
did not hide his anger.
When Figueroa whistled the end of the first half, the Italian waited for him at the entrance to the changing room tunnel to ask Vinicius about the card: "I asked the referee for an explanation and he gave it to me, he told me it was a persistent grab and that's why he He has taken out the card", the technician later admitted in the press room.
"I didn't understand it,
it wasn't an action from a promising attack
. I didn't understand it, but nothing happens.
I don't understand the yellow cards they give him
, sometimes he protests, but his attitude has been exemplary, he scored a fantastic goal. They have given him thrown many yellow cards for the kicks he receives", he added.
In the stands of the
Santiago Bernabéu
, almost everything led to the '
Negreira Case
'.
The investigation into the payments of FC Barcelona to the former vice-president of the referees
Enríquez Negreira
, developed exclusively by
EL MUNDO
, and the prosecution's accusation against the Catalan team dominated the match against Espanyol.
"
Corruption in the Federation
!" Chamartín sang again along with the chants that already sounded in the Cup classic: "Barça is always stealing."
On this occasion, with the help of the fans of the parakeet team, who also protested against the involvement of the Catalans in the '
Negreira Case
'.
In the press room, Ancelotti preferred not to comment on the subject, waiting, like everyone else, for the
Board of Directors
this Sunday, in which Madrid could decide to appear as a private prosecution.
"I think it's an important issue and I'd rather not talk about it," replied the Italian, who reached 100 league victories: "
Ah, very good. Let's go for the next 100
," he joked.
