Rubi: 'I can't defend my Club if I don't say we felt mistreated'
The UD Almería head coach lamented the VAR decisions, the repeated fouls by the opponents that weren't stopped by the referee and the result when his team 'competed very well.'
UD Almería head coach Rubi did not hesitate to state: 'I can't defend my Club if I don't say that we felt mistreated,' and on that note, he did not understand the time the ref took to analyse the handball play that led to the penalty that made it 2-1 'when there were a series of pushes and shoves taking place in the area,' nor the reasons for disallowing the 1-1 in the first half.
'It's a play that I have to see,' he stated. In addition, 'there was an exaggerated repetition of fouls that he forgave; Real Valladolid CF committed 28 and we committed 13, and each team received five yellow cards. All of this greatly influenced the match.' The Almería gaffer also lamented the result, although not because of the 3-1, but because of the merits of the Indálicos, which he considered deserved much more..
