He Barça ended up displeased with the refereeing in the Copa del Rey and, although it will not present any formal complaint to the ACB, it will send a video to record the actions that were not whistled correctly in its discretion, a practice that is common.
After losing the final against Real Madrid at the Martín Carpena in Málaga (96-85), the coach of the Barça team, Roger Grimau, complained about the refereeing criteria in the title match, especially in the last quarter, although he stressed that They did not lose because of the referees.
“In three minutes they expel a great player (Vesely) and that cannot be. They will watch the video and say that he plays here or there, but I don’t know if the criterion is the same. There are players who play 34 minutes on the other team and they make three fouls. And he is a player that I love (Campazzo), but he spends the whole game pressing in indirects and on the ball,” he protested.
In the Catalan club they feel that there was a comparative grievance in issues such as permissiveness in contacts (24 to 13 in free throws) and in complaints.
Bench earrings
They consider that the referees tend to be more aware of the Barça bench, which received a technical warning after seven minutes, while the Real Madrid bench was more insistent in its protests, just like the white players on the court, without receiving the same deal.
However, Barça will not present any formal complaint to the ACB because the entity believes that it is a path that, in the past, has proven to have no way forward, and they also defend that Grimau’s words were already clear enough.
The club supports the statements of the coach and his players, such as point guard Nico Laprovittola, who said after the game that the selection of the referee trio for the final “was not good.”
In this sense, a video monitoring the main referee, Antonio Conde, released this Monday by the ACB, captured a dialogue in which the referee warned the Madrid center Walter Tavares that he had to leave the area to avoid committing three seconds in attack, to which the Argentine responded by asking him to signal the infraction.
a provocation
On the other hand, Grimau referred after the final against Real Madrid to an episode that occurred during the quarterfinal match against Baxi Manresa, in which the referee Juan Carlos García González told the Barça center Willy Hernangómez “this is not It’s the NBA, kid.”
Although Barça admit that their player’s response, which earned him the technique, was not correct, they also understand that the referee’s comment was a provocation inappropriate for his position.
Likewise, the Barcelona locker room was surprised that García González himself, in street clothes since he did not referee in the final, wished the Real Madrid players luck in the locker room tunnel before the duel for the title and instead did not speak. to those of Barça.
In any case, it is not the first time that Grimau has protested the arbitration treatment this season. In the Euroleague, on January 26 after losing to EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (74-70), the Catalan coach said that it was “too easy” to whistle techniques at his team, something he had already commented on January 10 after winning to Olympiacos (86-78).
