Lenglet, sanctioned with a party by the Committee of Competition

The past Sunday, the FC Barcelona empató the party of the fifth day of LaLiga Santander against the Girona in a duel that was surrounded of controversy. Especially, by the expulsion of Clément Lenglet in the first time by an action with Pere Pons, that even recognised that it thought that the action was lacking his.

The FC Barcelona considered that the action did not have to be punished with red cardboard for Clément Lenglet and presented a resource for 'clean it', but finally did not obtain a positive result. The Committee of Competition has not attended the allegations of the Barcelona club and the French will not be able to play against the Leganés.

It is necessary to remember the words of Pere Pons in the party, recognising that possibly faith he the one who did fault on Lenglet: "If the VAR says that it has given me a codazo will be truth. I do not know as it has gone. Only I know that I receive the hit. It has not said me at all Lenglet I give him the hand because it thought that it was lacking mine at the beginning".

In this way, Ernesto Valverde will have to find another way to do rotations against the Leganés, since Clément Lenglet will not be available. Thomas Vermaelen, unpublished in the present season, could be the big benefited of the decision of the Committee of Competition with Lenglet.

The allegations of Ernesto Valverde

In the previous press conference to the party in front of the Leganés, Ernesto Valverde answered on the expulsion of Clément Lenglet against the Girona: "Have our point of view and therefore we have resorted. Already we will see what occurs. It is truth that are in the initial periods of the VAR and these things tend to go adjusting over time".

The technician extremeño is not very convinced of the operation of the VAR: "I Think that the controversy will reduce in fat things, but in things of these, do not know very well if it gives him a patada, the elbow in the face, the face in the elbow... It did not want to abound more in this because it does not leave to be a launch of the party".
