Simon Mignolet is not satisfied with the competition management after Standard-Club Bruges. Blauw-Zwart conceded two penalties. Mignolet could take one, but in the deep final phase Gavory could still equate from the spot.
“I don’t really understand why they make it so difficult. There are assistants and a VAR to check whether or not it was a penalty. I’m not going to elaborate on it because I haven’t seen the images yet. I dare not say it, I was in target and did not have a good view of it. What I especially do not understand is that the decision is taken so early. Then simply let yourself be assisted as a referee “, says Mignolet on the Club Brugge website.
“I don’t want to point a finger, but there are plenty of tools to make a better decision than facing a fait accompli right now. Just the same thing they do with the offside rule: just let the phase continue. Just like with the rejected goal. I’m not a bad loser, because maybe Standard earned more than one point today. They played well, I dare say that. But for us we lose two points and a clean sheet that we didn’t need to lose.”
