Atlético de Madrid explodes against the CTA’s decision with Fede Valverde: “Oiled machinery”

The fuse has been lit once more and, this time, with all the explanation on the earth. Atlético de Madrid has used its social networks to indicate indignation that’s shared by every of the Atlético de Madrid gamers who noticed what occurred on the Santiago Bernabéu. The rationale for the disagreement is the decision of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) relating to Fede Valverde’s kick to Álex Baena.

Let’s bear in mind the info: the Uruguayan caught the rival participant from behind, a transparent purple card motion that Munuera Montero didn’t hesitate to level out. Till then, the whole lot “regular” throughout the depth of a derby. What has raised blisters shouldn’t be the expulsion itself, however what occurred later within the places of work.

The comparative tort: ​​Sancet vs. Valverde

To grasp Atleti’s anger you solely should look again, particularly at what occurred with Oihan Sancet and Athletic Membership. The mattress membership’s communication companies have been fast to level out the “oiled equipment” that appears to work in a different way relying on the badge you put on in your chest.

If we analyze the minutes of that Sancet match and examine it with the one Munuera Montero wrote about Valverde, they’re virtually a carbon copy. Nonetheless, that is the place the surrealism comes: the Athletic participant was suspended for 2 video games, whereas Fede Valverde has gotten away with only one. Why this distinction in standards when confronted with an identical info? It’s the query that everybody within the Metropolitan asks.

4 days of continuous controversy

This final episode is simply the final straw that breaks a glass that was already very full after the derby. 4 days later, the sport remains to be being performed within the media and on the networks. The selections that didn’t favor Cholo Simeone’s staff in the course of the ninety minutes have fueled a debate that, removed from dying down, good points extra power with federation choices as questionable as this one.
