Barcelona’s captain blasted the referee after Barcelona’s defeat

Barcelona midfielder Frankie de Jong criticized the work of the chief referee after the failure in the match of the 20th round of the Spanish championship against Real Sociedad (1:2).

“I believe that we deserved to win today. We had all the opportunities for this, but it is necessary to bring the case to the heads.

I think we played quality football, but we didn’t drag out the game. You need to take chances. We created a lot of chances but their goalkeeper had an outstanding performance.

The only thing I would like to emphasize: it is impossible to have a dialogue with this referee. I play the role of captain and I do not find any explanation for this. He looks at me with an expression on his face as if he is taller than me.

This is really annoying. Such behavior is unacceptable. At the end of the meeting, I urged the judge, “Watch the time, give us more minutes, add more,” but he ignored the request. The whistle blew exactly after nine minutes, which seems to me completely insane.

I expressed my complaints to him, for which I received a card. There is simply no contact with this referee,” Sport.es quoted de Jong.

After the completion of 20 rounds of La Liga, “Barcelona” holds the lead in the table with 49 points. “Real Sociedad”, having 24 points, is in the ninth position.
