Jorge Valdano has been placed in the eye of the hurricane of the controversy arising from the arbitration benevolence with Marco Asensio, after a terrifying tackle on Vicente Iborra in the match between Villarreal and Real Madrid, thanks to his intervention in the Movistar + broadcast.
After Asensio’s savagery to Iborra’s ankle, with obvious risk of injury, Maldini thought that he deserved the “red”after seeing the play repeated, since the degree of danger was barely appreciated live.
Right away, Valdano disagreed: “Goes to the ball, touches the ball with the tip”.
Just ten seconds later, Lo Celso committed a foul on Viniciusof the many that are in a game, and the Argentine commentator dared to compare it to the first: “It was similar to Asensio’s. He touches the ball first and then touches Vinicius’s ankle”.
About Dani Carvajal’s ball hit Lo Celso’s faceanother of the most controversial moves, said the Argentine who it was “unintentionally”. In the COPE they had different criteria in this regard.
Also, if outrage wasn’t enough, Valdano’s nerves betrayed him when he scored a goal in a shot by Casemiro that did not end at the bottom of the net defended by Rulli.
Several of his interventions did not like too much, but the comparison of Asensio’s play with that of Lo Celso took the cake. The controversy was even extrapolated to Movistar+ in some of the opinions, since there is a sector of users that complains about the lack of impartiality in the broadcasts:
