The disallowed goal conditioned the match against Real Sociedad
Hansi Flick: "They still haven't explained to me about Lewandowski's offside"
The German coach said he had not yet received any explanation, but that "it was not something so important"
Hansi Flick is a man who does not make excuses. Not even after having lost a match due to a controversial play, as happened against Real Sociedad. Although he assured that "they still" have not explained the play to him and that "sometimes it is good that some explanation is offered by LaLiga or the Federation", he did not want to give it much importance.
A possible SAOT error
The famous play occurred in the 14th minute of the match between Real Sociedad and FC Barcelona at the Reale Arena. Nayef Aguerd, the central defender of the Txuri-urdin team, was covering Robert Lewandowski, while Frenkie de Jong, who had the ball, was about to shoot. Due to several coincidences, after the ball left the Dutchman's foot, it ended up being finished off by the Polish striker and sent into the back of the net.
However, the referee of the match, Cuadra Fernández, disallowed the goal after seeing the play replayed. The crux of the matter comes with the choice of the video frame, which could have been poorly chosen by Del Cerro Grande, the VAR referee, and García González, the VAR assistant. With a fragment of the film that was allegedly wrong, the Barça striker would be in an illegal position, so the goal could not be included on the scoreboard, something that ended up happening in this way.
"It wasn't that important"
Despite the fact that the controversy exploded in the world of football, Barça has not made any protest movement about this move. For his part, Hansi Flick has not wanted to give it more hype: "They haven't explained it to me yet. It wasn't something so important. Sometimes it's good that some explanation is offered by LaLiga or the Federation. In any case, we are all human and these things happen. We concentrate on the next game."
The German, as he has always done, has turned his back on excuses and has shown himself focused on the match against Celta de Vigo. He will have enough headaches at present with the loss of Lamine, as to give weight to past problems.
