Excitement in Spain: Barcelona gets a whiff of conspiracy in the video basement

Gerard Piqué dominates as a Central defender for FC Barcelona, not only the own penalty area, but also the game in addition to the lawn. For example, in the social networks. "To win this League is difficult. The others lose little points,“ said the Catalan in mid-June on Twitter. Actually, the Spanish League is a four game days before the end of the season exciting as it has been for years. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona deliver a hard punch. Forced to the beginning of the resumption of the season after the Corona-break was Barcelona, two points ahead of Real, but after three draws of the Catalans four points is now Real in the front. Because Real has not won since mid-June all of his seven games.

Piqué, but it wasn't even the valuation of the tough competition. Rather, he alluded to the stubborn legend, Real gains his title with the help of the referee. As the Catalan shot the poison arrow in the direction of Madrid, had won the Team of Zinedine Zidane just quite brilliant 3:0 against FC Valencia. However, the first goal of this encounter had made Rodrigo Moreno of Valencia. The video assistant is logged Off, the referee consulted with the slow motion and not decided after long Hesitation, to enter the gate.

in fact, it has such corrections after the resumption of the games in Spain in June, several times. In the last seven match days, the referee will have to be revised three times their decisions in favour of Real Madrid. And, indeed, Fans will not annoy the football-hugging yet also understood as a body contact sport, and some of the scenes that the game simply runs more. However, if the referees already have the slow motion as a decision aid to act your decisions are often necessarily small.

So it happened again at the weekend in Madrid at Athletic Club de Bilbao. Since Bilbao, Dani García was in the fight for the Ball on the foot of Marcelo, who fell to the Brazilians, Bilbao started with the game structure. Only after the note of the video, assistant referee González looked at the scene again and signaled for a penalty kick. Real captain Sergio Ramos took advantage of him in a familiar, secure his tenth goal of the season.

As Ramos Bilbao Raúl García later in his own penalty area on the feet, there were the consultations on the Monitor, however. It was not a real combat, and was not a possible edge it came at all, it would have no side on the left flank how to develop on the opposite side.

The protests were, despite the midday heat of around 40 degrees Celsius, short. How to heat up the minds also, if the otherwise of the Fans occupied the ranks are empty and the comments of the substitutes lose in the otherwise empty stadium? The passionate emotions are shifting in the social networks. There, players such as Piqué or barça's President Josep Maria Bartomeu trying to put pressure on the table leaders to build up. The System of the video wizard, favoring the same team, instead of helping the judges, said Bartomeu. But such attacks also act helpless and transparent. Finally, Barcelona can be on the lawn on their own power master. And Bartomeus squad planning has long been the subject of criticism.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane says he will not "participate in the other football". This was not his style. Instead, the Frenchman calls for respect for the achievements of his team. And in fact, Madrid has come amazingly well from the forced break. Zidane changes his starting lineup in every game, and Bale no one acts like a foreign body. Instead of so a long time described Teams of the Galactic Madrid seems Real suddenly to the collective mutated.
