Balcones on controversial tender: ″ Do you know when it was reversed in Dragão or Luz? Never”

After the duel with FC Porto, the Sporting president left harsh criticism of the referees and considered that Zaiu should have been sent off.

“Today Sporting is sad because they lost two points and Portuguese football must be sad. I have seen the game several times, I only do one thing: laugh. This same game, this possible penalty that is scored, knows when it was reversed in the Stadium “. do Dragão or Estádio da Luz? Never. The referee signs a penalty, the VAR begins to analyze the intensity, either inside or outside. Its the tradition. The referee has scored a penalty. Is it subjective? Yes. The back is enough to score the penalty. I saw Doumbia step on Tondela, the player turned red and the VAR reversed. In Moreira de Cónegos I saw a very clear penalty and the VAR itself did not see it today ”, Says the president of Sporting, considering that Zaidu should have been expelled.

“Those are the things that happen in Portuguese football, especially in Sporting. I am not going to talk about the expulsion inherent to the penalty. It was a direct red for Zaidu, who was on the street. Portuguese football must be sad. I’m sad Portugal had everything to be a fantastic country but winning by merit and work is difficult, in football even more so. It does not matter if the person was caught in wiretaps, it does matter if he has power, if he won and then everyone pays tribute to him. Sporting supports the president of the arbitration but he already said: if the soldiers do not serve, they stop. Sporting has a value that he does not abdicate. We will not do what we did, we will not play dirty. We want to believe that it is with these values ​​that they we will win “.
