Barrenechea Montero, refereeing specialist of MD, appreciates the refereeing of Alberola Rojas in the Metropolitano derby won by Atlético de Madrid 3-1.
“The match was intense and fast and the referee, always close to the game, allowed some possible fouls like the one received by Bellingham on the edge of the area in the 2nd minute, correctly leaving many simulated falls without sanction”
“Having control of the match, he knows how to adapt to it, avoiding protests from the start, applying the advantage correctly and giving fluidity to the game. He punished Atlético with 12 fouls and Madrid with 10.”
“The yellow cards shown to Modric, Giménez, Mendy and Bellingham were deserved but Mario Hermoso should have been cautioned in the 14th minute for a knockdown on Bellingham and in the 57th minute on Nacho for a hard tackle from behind on Lino and in the 87th minute on Griezmann for a hard tackle on Joselu.”
“Cuadra Fernández’s VAR did not intervene due to the lack of opposing games. In a match as difficult to referee as the Metropolitano, Alberola Rojas was up to the task in the derby. He was right in the 44th minute through of canceling Camavinga’s goal from outside Rüdiger’s foreplay”.
“He gave players peace of mind and security in decision-making, achieving good refereeing.”
