Brendan Rodgerscoach of Glasgow Celtiche insisted, after being beaten by Atlético de Madrid (6-0), where the red card in the 23rd minute to the Japanese Maeda “conditioned the match” and he added that he did not believe that his player’s foul deserved the expulsion.
“The red card was a turning point in the game. It was a game that started well in both places, but when a player was sent off too soon the game was affected. We thought it was not for red. Both players correct each other “We believe that the images do not represent the real action on the field of play. This is not a hard tackle. This is a very strict red card. In ten it is more difficult,” the coach explained.
“Then, in the second half, there was fatigue and they scored fantastic goals. The red card made things complicated for us. They play their game, they try to send the opponent away. If you see the image, what you see. is that they raise the our player stands, but you don’t see the entire play. You don’t see the intensity of the tackle. It’s the two players who collided. The referee changes his mind ,” Rodgers continued.
The coach also recognized the flaws of his team, as well as the excellence of Athletic: “We also had mistakes. In the first two goals we made defensive mistakes. We will study what we can improve.”
“We have to take this match as a separate match. The Athletic It has players of a different level than us. I don’t want to be too critical of my team because of the Athletic “He has very high players,” he concluded.
