The tremenda ease of Mateu Lahoz to admonish to the Barça

Mateu Lahoz Is a referee known internationally by his style of arbitration 'permisivo' with the entrances theoretically of the players of all the teams, as long as they are not malintencionadas neither too hard. Always it opts for giving fluidity to the game and forgets of pitar some clear faults that any another referee, in the majority of occasions, himself pitaría.

The flexibility with the whistle, however, disappeared this Thursday in front of the most minimum protest of the players of the FC Barcelona. And it is that, at first, Mateu Lahoz showed in the first-half of the Barça-Espanyol yellow cardboards to Luis Suárez and Leo Messi.

In the case of the Uruguayan for protesting a simple kickoff of band with insistence, whereas to Leo Messi by a comment that desconoce, but that seems that it neither liked to the attendant to give justice on the terrain of game.

Before it finished the first-half, Jordi Alba also saw a debatable yellow card by an entrance that, although it was something hard, is used to to be the type of entrances that so much costs to sanction when the players of the FC Barcelona are those who receive them.

The Barça, cleaner but more admonished

The question is that the Barça, practising a very clean game -spotless- and dominating the possession of the balloon in 73% during the first-half, paradoxically left to the rest with three yellow cards against, by so only one of the Espanyol. Skin very fine of Mateu Lahoz, that to measure that were happening the minutes, this yes, relaxed a so much. "Less bad", sure that thought some culés in the terracings.
