Unai Emery: "I cannot reproach anything to Mourinho" – La Liga News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 coach, Unai Emery, continues in disbelief after a somewhat stone wall penalty call was not given. Los Che coach lamented the refereeing decision and reminisced the Bernabéu clash between the two clubs from last season.
In the dying moments of the latest match, Gonzalo Higuain was hit inside the penalty box that led to penalty claims. However, the referee correctly waved play on as the Argentine international was hit in the chest.
Emery stated that he thought it was a penalty as soon as he saw it, however, on reviewing the footage he realized that the referee made the right judgment.
"Once the image view, I believe that penalty is not.”
He emphasised that putting all the blame on the referee is unjust, but given the history of refereeing decisions given against his side in previous encounters, you cannot remain calm all the time.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Albelda-c10417 was given his marching orders in the Primera Division fixture between the two clubs at Santiago Bernabéu last term. It was a decisive blow for Los Che, who lost the match 2-0 at the home of one of their bitter enemies.
“You cannot put all the blame on the referee, but coming from last season where Albelda was unjustly expelled at the Bernabeu and we lost 2-0," Emery remarked.
The Valencian coach made an accurate analysis of the match, stating that his team was inferior to the visitors in the first half as they struggled for possession. However, he praised the character of his team who rallied in the second half and gave a much
better account of themselves.
"Madrid have been very strong. There was a lot of respect, not fear. We struggled in the first period because the pressure was not what we wanted, and could not get the ball.
“In the second half is correct and were better. That gave us more confidence. But they catch you on the counter and score goals. Against Madrid you have to be perfect."
The win takes Mourinho’s men to the top putting a gap of seven points between themselves and Valencia in third. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 also won at Camp Nou, destroying Real Zaragoza 4-0 to solidify their second place position.
