"If you do not agree, to the street", is the message of the managers of a VAR that began the current season with controversies and with more doubts that tarpaulins. The decisions of the videoarbitraje in the visit of the Real Madrid to Benito Villamarín continue in the sight of the Spanish football, and this that already have happened some days.

The Betis received in his stadium to the Real Madrid of Zinedine Zidane the past Saturday and, just like the past season, two decisions of the VAR gave him the victory to the merengues, when the verdiblancos were in his best moment in the terrain. They had attained to trace back the 0-1 initial in less than five minutes and the Madrid was suffering the superiority of the venues.

An expulsion and a penal changed the course of the history of the meeting. The direct red card of the right side blaugrana yielded in the Betis, Emerson, and afterwards a non-existent hand in the area of Marc Bartra that neither the referee, neither the bético neither the same players madridistas saw, caused that Sergio Bouquets marked from the eleven metres the so much of the victory to fault of less than ten minutes for the pitazo final.

Open files for Pellegrini and Joel

Manuel Pellegrini, technical verdiblanco, did not make a mistake when it said that "play against the penalti, the expulsion, the VAR and the Real Madrid, all together, is too" but, as if it went a grave fault or a fight in the edge the field, to the Chilean the Committee of Competition of the RFEF opened him a file by his statements.

The guardameta bético, Joel Oaks, that to the equal that his trainer manifested against of the referee's actions, also has an open file. "In case of doubt, always in favour of the big", expressed after the party. And now it exposes , beside Pellegrini, to a sanction that could be of four to twelve parties and an economic fine between 600 and 3.000 euros.

It is very difficult to struggle with ten in the field, but also with the justice against. The Betis lived in Benito Villamarín the same that the Real Sociedad, the Athletic Club or the Leganés, the which also saw how a decision after a doubtful action cost them lose three points and, in the case of the pepineros, the descent to the Second Division. Neither more, neither less.
