He Valencia They came close to winning against Espanyol in the match postponed by DANA, but finally the team had to settle for a draw that keeps them at the bottom of LaLiga. The meeting was not without controversy, since In the 94th minute the referee decided to annul a goal by Dani Gómez, decision that blew up Ruben Baraja.
“I have a doubt about the last action, I don’t know what happened. I would like to know or Let a specialist define that action for us because I don’t understand“said the Valencia coach in the DAZN microphones.
“I believe that when a goalkeeper drops the ball from his hands and a striker is close, he can score a goal, whether he is offside or not. It can be offside, but Dani does nothing to go to the goal. ball. Good. From there the ball drops, which is a technical error that could happen and Dani scores a goal. Where is the offside? I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong, but that action has left me with a lot of doubts, I don’t know what the assessment is,” Baraja explained.
The coach who was unable to speak with the referee of the match, González Fuertes: “He resolved it in 15 seconds because it would be very clear to them what the action was. That’s why I would like to know, because imagine that this happens with a striker who is on the edge from the area that is pressing the goalkeeper. And the goalkeeper, for whatever reason, drops the ball and scores a goal, is it offside? I don’t think so, it was a mistake by the goalkeeper. Let them confirm it for us.”
Already at a press conference, Rubén Baraja added on this matter: “It seems to me that it is a different action because Dani Gómez is offside, but the goalkeeper drops it. At that point it is a new action and you can push it. With how quickly they decided, I imagine that it will be an interpretation that favors offside, because I have no other explanation. I imagine they will clarify it for us.”
