by

THE Al Ittihad welcomes her Al Nasr (19:30, Cosmote Sport) at the “Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium” of Jeddah in the big derby of the Saudi Arabian league.

A great match that will play a pivotal role in the title battle, with Al Nasr two points ahead of their rivals. Her federation of Saudi Arabia wanting to get… distances, he decided to call a foreign referee to officiate the match. And her choice to bring him Matthew Laoth has been commented on in various ways by the European media.

Because they find the choice of the Saudis intriguing to bring in a referee who during the World Cup was targeted by Argentina and Lionel Messi for his behavior in the quarter-finals with the Netherlands. A game where the Spanish referee showed a World Cup record 18 yellow cards and the Argentinian superstar … was held back from verbally attacking him.

“I think FIFA has to take care of it, they can’t put a referee like that for a match of that size, that importance. The referee cannot fail to be up to the task. I don’t want to talk about referees because then they will punish. The world saw what happened”had said Messi.

THE Ronaldo of course he is… familiar with Laoth having managed him in several games during the Portuguese striker’s time at Real Madrid. It remains to be seen whether the Cristiano will have complaints from the Spanish striker in the ‘Superclasico’ of Saudi Arabia, with him in excellent form already scoring 8 goals and 2 assists in 6 matches with Al Nasr.
