Real Zaragoza manager Javier Aguirre was unhappy with refereeing decisions after Los Manos' away La Liga defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Athletic-Club-c38535 at San Mames.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-Ponzio-c22088, converted the resulting penalty
as he brought the match on level footing.
Despite their numerical disadvantage for majority of the match, Athletic Bilbao managed to win against the odds.
Los Manos failed to take advantage of their greater numbers before defender Maurizio Lanzaro got dismissed for a second bookable offence to even the playing field.
With parity in numbers restored, it was one way traffic with Marcelo Bielsa sending men forward in final stages of the match. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done for Athletic. The saviour of the home team scored late in the second half with only three minutes
of normal time remaining, bringing the rapturous crowd to their feet.
Javier Aguirre fears for his position as head coach at La Romareda. Real Zaragoza sit at the bottom of La Liga table as they head into the winter break. The coach was not happy with the defeat and let his views known.
“The defeat was very painful as it came right near the end. We had a pretty bad time in the final few minutes and there are things we need to correct,” Aguirre stated.
With the defeat, morale in the dressing room has sunk even lower, a fact which Aguirre highlighted in his post-match conference.
“The dressing room is really low but there are a lot of games left. We’ve become a bit detached from the other teams, but where there’s life there’s still hope,” the tactician concluded.
On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa was happy with the win. It was Los Leones' first win in four matches, and the coach was relieved with the result. The Argentine coach accepted the decisions that came his way and was content with the result.
“I don’t know if the referee was right or wrong,” said the Argentinean. “But from where I was I couldn’t judge. He said it was a penalty and that’s that. The referee, like the rest of us, can sometimes be wrong: you just have to accept the fact.”
