The coach of Rayo Vallecano, Andoni Iraola, He was very critical of the penalty in favor of Valencia that means the final tie, although he valued the point achieved in Mestalla: “We give a lot of value to the tie. The second half we have been bad and they have dominated us. In the first half we did well. They have deserved the tie. They have not deserved it as they have achieved it, yes”.
On the decisive penalty, he didn’t bite his tongue: “The previous penalty whistled live was amazing. And one of Balliu’s hand VAR… when they score a goal in 82 playing the same thing with them. I can’t say what I think because otherwise they will punish me. Now football is decided by these things. We already had the experience in Girona with two penalties with the same referee with these penalties that theoretically did not blow the whistle. It was a matter of time before they tie but the reality is that it has come like never before.”
And he added that “in other important areas we played better than today. The point is very important because we beat Valencia with an average goal. I’m not leaving satisfied, yes, because we didn’t do well”.
The coach was really indignant and annoyed by the maximum penalty: “The penalty seems incredible to me… I understand the scenario, Valencia in decline, the pressure… but it’s that the first one to whistle us… ugh. .. the same referee happened to us in Girona… and I will repeat again that Valencia deserved the tie but in this way”.
