The arbitration report made by Cuadra Fernández regarding the dismissal of Nico Williams for the double warning and the yellow card given to Vivian in the clash against Betis leaves little room for maneuver for Athletic to present the corresponding allegations to the Competition Committee to try. so that any of them shall be void. Everything indicates, therefore, that Valverde will not get the help of these two lions next Sunday in the clash against Barça.
The Madrid referee assigned to the Balearic Committee, surprisingly, first recorded in his minutes the second yellow card shown to Nico and then the first. The reason for both warnings, according to the order of appearance, is “applauded one of my decisions in a clear attitude of sarcasm” and “knock down an opponent in the dispute for a ball, preventing a good attack.”
With Vivian, for his part, he based the yellow on “giving a reckless kick to an opponent.” It will be necessary to see what the Competition thinks about this if Athletic decide to press charges.
