Baraja settled the debate: “The referee said it was the last and whistled before he crossed”

Valencia coach, Ruben Barajaassured this Saturday in the press conference after the match in Madrid that the action of the goal is for him Jude Bellingham which does not go up on the scoreboard is invalid because Gil Manzanobefore the corner, he “said it was the last and blew the whistle before carrying out the cross” which resulted in the Englishman’s goal.

“It’s an action that before it happens says the game is going to end and when the ball goes out, it blows the whistle. Logically there will be controversy and I understand that people may protest, but without further ado. “He decided it was the end of the game and nothing else,” the Valladolid native said of the draw against Real Madrid.

Baraja commented that the point was “he knows very little” because of the 2-0 they had the game where they wanted and that caused them to be closer and came to half-time “more frustrated” because they did not “deserve” to be 2-1 and they did by 2-0.

“But it can happen and we got through it. I liked the final part, because we hit a nerve “Despite Diakhaby’s injury, we could have made it 3-2 perfectly.” emphasized the legend of the Mestalla club.

In fact, He insisted that Diakhaby’s injury had left them “cold,” but they knew how to “hit a final blow with the ‘no’ penalty to Hugo Duro, Peter Federico’s shots and the last part. We could have finished 3-2.”

So, Baraja explained that the end of the fight “revived” them “and Too bad Peter didn’t get it right. one of the two he has because it means the three points.”

When asked how he found the atmosphere at the Mestalla, he said they showed it They are a “fantastic hobby in every way” and preferred to focus on the clash, “where there are more 3-1 situations than 2-2”.

“The game was tense, a lot happened. The first half was pretty good, Madrid made us make mistakes, we saw scoring situations and it’s a shame the 2-1 score was unfair. It was a quick action and a rebound in stoppage time,” lamented Baraja.

The former Valencia player pointed out that Madrid did not create a “big danger” for them and he appreciated that the score had been in their favor for a long time: “Beyond clinching the point, we have gone to look for 3-2 in the last two actions and except for the last action, which is a lateral cross, we were able to defend well . “We did a lot of good.”

Finally, he stressed that he did not know Diakhaby’s injury, “the worst news of the night”, because it is an important player and it happens at a time and in an action “that cannot be controlled.”
