Coach Huang Qian: I don t like the referee s penalty in this game, Vinicius penalty kick changed everything
In the 8th round of La Liga, Villarreal lost to Real Madrid 1-3 away. At the post-match press conference, Villarreal head coach Marcellino said he did not like referee Guillermo Cuadra's law enforcement at all.
■ At the press conference, Marcellino was asked about his views on the referee at the beginning
Marcellino replied: "I don't know, I don't want to negotiate the referee." However, after many questions from reporters, he added: "I don't like the penalty for this game at all."
■ When asked about teammate Santi Comesania had previously publicly criticized the referee, saying that "it is difficult to win at the Bernabeu, and it is even more difficult under such a referee."
Marcellino replied: "That's his opinion. Even if you ask me about the referee 200 times, I won't say much, this is not what I should comment. But... maybe something really happened, right?"
■ Marcellino pointed out that the referee's two key penaltys affected the trend of the game.
"From a football perspective, that penalty kick allowed the opponent to take the lead evenly, which made it easier for them to control the game. As for the second yellow card? Let the referee committee explain it, they definitely feel that everything is fine."
Vinicius made points
■ Marcellino said that Real Madrid is indeed more worthy of victory overall, but there are also some key nodes in the game that changed the situation. He was not satisfied with the team's start and the first goal conced--that was a flash of Vinicius' personal ability.
Marcellino said: "The opponents suppressed us in the first half too strongly, far exceeding our expectations. We were forced to play too far. As the game progressed, we actually had the best chance to score in the end of the first half. We originally hoped to have more ball possession and take the defense 20 meters ahead, but at least we created a chance to lead."
"However, just like the game against Juventus three days ago, at the beginning of the second half, we were punished by our opponents for serious mistakes, which was a very unlucky goal for us. After that, our form recovered and created some threats... Until the penalty kick in the 68th minute, everything changed and we were almost unable to turn the situation back."
