Iván Alejo, footballer from Cádiz, clarified last night in The Chiringuito de Jugones with Josep Pedrerol the controversial game play that his team played at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid and that ended with a valuable 0-0 for Cadista interests.
In the 26th minute, the Cádiz players demanded Jaime Latre’s expulsion from Casemiro after a tackle from behind on Iván Alejo, who explained the play in this way. “ANDAt the moment I was very scared because the contact was very high. I thought I was going to expel him, and when I saw the yellow one I took it for granted that they would review it in the VAR. I understand that it is the Bernabéu, that it is Casemiro, that many times we already know that many cards are forgiven… but hey, it’s football and I don’t hold a grudge, “said the Cadista player.
At the end of the interview, he explained that phrase he left in the air about the possible expulsion: “I understand that it is not the same to get a red from Madrid than from Cádiz. It is difficult for them to whistle in a scenario like this, the pressure is complicated, and perhaps if it had been the other way around it would have been a different color. I don’t feel like polemics … “.
The Valladolid striker also acknowledges that at halftime he was able to see the tackle he suffered from the Brazilian midfielder and what he thought later on a device repeated. “I didn’t think she was that ugly. If he hits me, I’ll be injured for six months and he continues to play. We must raise awareness about these entries, the possible low time … When Monchu made the entrance to Vinicius it was red and it seems to me that the entrance is not even half of the one that Casemiro makes me “, he adds.
The referee told us that the VAR confirmed that it was yellow and not red because it did not impact me at all
Finally, he told what the referee of the meeting, Santiago Jaime Latre, told him with the reasons why he did not expel Casemiro: “The referee told us that the VAR confirmed that it was yellow and not red because it did not impact me at all“
