Real Madrid Confidencial Scaloni's Unexpected Response About Julián Álvarez's Penalty
The Coach Extends Doubts About the Double Strike of the Red-and-White with a Shocking Message
More than a week has passed since Real Madrid eliminated Atlético in the Champions League round of 16. However, the famous penalty by Julián Álvarez continues to be a topic of discussion. To the point that it has made its way into the international break during Argentina's draft.
It was coach Scaloni who was asked about it and he gave an unexpected response. "Today there is still doubt about whether the ball moves or if it is in play, it's a matter of regulation," he began by saying. Despite returning to the debate about whether the ball moves.
The truth is that he acknowledged that it is the regulation and therefore it may be more or less liked, but there is nothing to object. However, as he continues with his response, he begins to sow doubts. It seems he didn't want to leave a comment that would put Atlético in a bad light.
He has taken their side to sow doubts about Julián Álvarez's penalty. Not only because he is not sure if the ball is touched twice despite UEFA showing it. But because he seems to want to prolong the controversy, perhaps seeking to benefit Atlético.
Scaloni Points to the Culprits for Julián Álvarez's Penalty
It doesn't matter that it was shown with a video that there is a double touch by Julián Álvarez in his penalty. Some want to go against the regulation and sow doubts with that play that eliminated Atlético according to them. And Scaloni has shown that he is in this group of people who prolong the controversy.
"As a football man, the issue has to be much clearer," he said about Julián's shot. He believes it hasn't been proven and that the referee didn't explain it well either. Despite making the gesture and telling everyone on the field.
But they insist that "especially when they give the verdict that they have given from above, it hasn't been clear." He points out again that the decision wasn't made by the referee on the field, although he said he had seen it. "If it weighs again, let's have everything clear," he concluded, perhaps hoping it favors those he wants.
