Nolito said that “The team deserved the tie. That’s fine, even if we are Celta we deserve respect,” denounced the author of the sky-blue goal.
Celta lost the game against Los Merengues
The Celta de Vigo player Manuel Agudo ‘Nolito’, scorer of his team’s goal in the defeat against Real Madrid (1-2), considered that the penalty that gave the LaLiga leader victory is “laughable. The team deserved the draw. They have awarded us three penalties, and the third one is laughable. That’s fine, even if we are Celta we deserve respect”, denounced Nolito, for whom it is “very difficult to get up” with three penalties against a rival “as big” as Real Madrid.
Celta’s players were not happy with the decision of the referees
If it’s already difficult to get up when a penalty is called against you, imagine when there are three,” said the winger, who went further in his criticism: “We deserve respect from the referees as we respect them.” We are a humble club but we deserve respect. It is already difficult to compete against Real Madrid and Barcelona, and today we have been disrespected. For some the VAR is close and for others it is an eternity,” he said ironically. Nolito also believes that Cuadra Fernández, the VAR referee, did not help the Asturian González Fuertes: “We all made mistakes, I was the first, but so were the referees. And today’s referee could go to the VAR to rectify, or they could help him from above”
