The FC Barcelona desequilibró the first friendly of the pre-season against the Nàstic of Tarragona in the second part. The culés marked the difference against a group tarraconense that did not know to hold the result with one less after the expulsion of Quintanilla to the edge of the rest. Although they jumped ten players of soda in the intermediate, the visitors noticed this red and finish it paying.
An expulsion that, on the other hand, protested a lot the players of the ones of Tarragona in the field. When they were missing little more than five minutes for the end of the first time, Riqui Puig advanced to the defender and oriented the ball to the heart of the area to remain only in front of Manu García. The defender demolished him with a very hard entrance arriving take being the last man and went to the street.
Although the entrance was hard, did not go at all violent and therefore it surprised so much that the referee decided to expel him. Besides, the control of Riqui, although to goal, seemed to go the sufficiently long as so that it had arrived the goalkeeper tarraconense in case to having continued the played. A red very rigorous that finish marking the party and that did not benefit neither to the visitors neither to the own Barcelona, to the that had liked him a more equalised duel.
And precisely by this, as it explained the trainer of the Nàstic, Raül Agné, Ronald Koeman and Gerard Hammered tried that the referee allowed that the ones of Tarragona could jump to the field with eleven in the second time. "Koeman And Hammered have asked to the referee if we could follow playing eleven against eleven, but has answered them that the regulation no allowed it to him. Koeman Has come me to say that it would try to convince him", commented the míster.
The referee did not allow that the Nàstic played with 11 in the 2ª part
Unfortunately, in spite of trying it, the technician of the Barça could not do at all to convince to the referee, that left him clear that went against of the regulation even being a friendly. For this reason, the group barcelonista had to confront to one less in the second time and could not enjoy of the demanding test and equalised that all in Can Barça expected when they programmed this friendly.
