“Dismissing a professional for almost a month seems like a shame”

A stick and a carrot. In this dichotomy, the analysis shifted Carlos Carvalhal during three games sanction to Renato Tapia. The Portuguese considers the punishment “how arrogant!” after being sent off, but attributes the blame for the punishment regulation and, at the same time, defends judges and your right to be wrong. To that end, he says his team will do whatever it takes to facilitate the task this afternoon Burgos Bengoetxeathe judge who “correctly” cautioned him against Sevilla.

“The reality is that the judge acted according to the regulations. What I think is wrong in this case is the regulation. shoot the pro almost a month of work because he said that the judge was arrogant then, it seems to me a barbarismI’m with Tapia in that,” commented the Celta coach, who maintains that the three matches are without intermediate disqualifications. excessively because there was no direct insult.

Carvalhal did not want to talk about the insult Vinicius neither of a double standards, but he also did not hide that he “saw situations in which a player has a bad word, in situations where they are punished and others are not. When a bad word is directed at someone or a team, and it is caught on television, it has a big impact on fans, especially children. That’s a lot for me serious».

Help the judges

We have to leave the referees alone so they can decide.”

In that sense, he has already warned his players that, faced with a scenario similar to the one experienced by Tapia in Anoeta, what they must do is look the other way. “We have to live with the regulations and faced with an identical situation, what we have to do is silence».

In that atmosphere of agreement, Carvalhal commented that the yellow card that De Burgos Bengoetxea, today’s referee, showed him against Sevilla was “correct”. “The fourth judge warned him about a gesticulation and my job should be to help. The referees deserve all the praise.” In the case of the Basque Country, his black legend with Celta began with a fabricated penalty in Son Moix in a key game of the pandemic season, and was fueled by controversial decisions, including the last game of 2022 in Balaídos, when the sports advisor Luis Campos He was waiting for him in the tunnel of the locker room to tell him “Very bad, very bad, the referee is very bad!”, according to the minutes.
