Vitoria: “I think the referee could go to VAR in the Pelistri phase and how Ortega should be eliminated”

The evidence led to the exclusion of Olympiacos, but also the decisions of the Spanish referee, Munurathe Panathinaikos coach commented, Rui Vitoria to press conference.

The Portuguese technician in his statements expressed the view that the experienced referee could have consulted VAR at pushing the pelt from Retsosbut also how Ortega could have been eliminated With a second yellow card, stressing that Olympiacos chose to … stop his team with a pretty foul.

He added, among other things, that the opponent was more lucky than the Greens, while answering questions about With his first defeat in Greecebut also the Picture of his team in the second half.

In detail what he said

What is the taste that remains from the game and if you are satisfied with the team image?

“As we had said before the race, it was an ambiguous game that would be judged in the details and by the last -minute individual inspiration. The last five minutes had the most emotions. The opponent lost the penalty shoot -out, we missed the opportunity and then the opponent managed to score out of the area of ​​individual quality, inspiration and luck. My team was well in the first half. He broke the opponent’s pressing and managed to reach the opposing home. In the second half the team did not show the same aggression. Of course in the first half the fouls were 12-2 and we finished 22-10. The opponent chose to stop us with a foul. “

What exactly has happened in the penalty shoot -out why we haven’t understood?

“It is not me who will give an opinion on this piece. I don’t know what has happened. As soon as he was called to VAR, it could have become something similar in the first half. I have not clearly seen the phase to have an opinion.

From what I have seen in the game I think the Pelistri phase could be examined by VAR. As I think it could have got one more yellow, that is, the left back of Olympiacos. They are phases I have seen during the game. I don’t want to talk anymore about arbitration. The opponent was more effective. He had the moment of inspiration at the moment that he judged the result. We had the phase of Pelistri and Juricic. I think the opponent was lucky. “

It is your first defeat in Greece. What do you earn from this match?

“We’re sad about the result was a goal we really wanted. We have to look forward and we have an important game on Sunday. The fact that a goal has come to the end does not remove the effort and value of what we have achieved. There was a very powerful game between two teams that knew the match was on a tight rope.

The big teams do not have time to think about what happened because they have events that want to achieve the best possible. We will continue to work with our heads high because we have our consciousness clean that we did what we needed. We have difficult matches for the championship in front of us. In the last championship match we made our best appearance so far. We keep this and we move on. “

Didn’t the changes in the second half come out and did your team back up?

“As soon as we are talking about a balanced game the team managed to break the high pressure of the opponent and be more aggressive. In the second half we didn’t do it so much. From one point onwards it looked as if the match was … broken. We missed us at this point to make our own phase to put the game into our control. Our opponent was cleverly and stopped some good foul attacks which is legitimate. I don’t know if it should have more yellow, but it’s not me. We could have found attacks to threaten, but even so the opponent failed to threaten us more. We’re talking about a goal that came out of the sideline, from an inspiration to the moment. “
