The answer of Balenziaga to the controversies with Messi and in the Athletic-Barça

The FC Barcelona confronts this Saturday to the Real Valladolid, and will try to forget in the Camp Nou his last tropiezos in LaLiga. The Catalans pretend to recover confidence before chaining several challenges complicadísimos in the calendar, and for this have to analyse his errors and put them remedy to give a hit on the table in his way to the titles.

The one who has remembered his recent clash with the culés has been a footballer of the Athletic Club, Mikel Balenziaga, that the past weekend attained to leave to zero to the men of Ernesto Valverde in a duel in Saint Mamés that finish in tables. The side has gone out to the step of the controversies that have commented after the meeting, and has been cutting on his point of view.

To start with, the defender has done reference to the complaints by the hardness with which employed the rojiblancos to brake to the Barcelona, a subject that considers out of place: "I Have heard some voices saying that we were very hard, that carry the party to the limit. The faults that did the other day were not hard. There were three faults followed, and regarding Messi, is a player that holds very very everything".

"In this appearance is very noble. Never it has bad words, bad gestures, and if in this moment did not give me the hand would be because... I do not know why", it has valued the one of Zumárraga, defending to the Argentinian by an action in which it finished in the floor and did not want to accept his help to raise . After confirming that there is not bad relation between both, also has analysed some played doubtful in the area.

Balenziaga Has recalcado that the second yellow that saw Óscar of Frames for cutting a balloon with the hand is not justified, since his mate ensured that the strike had been involuntary and understands that the repetitions like this show it: "In the moment did not see if it was hand or no, but in what I approached to the referee was Demar saying that it had not been hand, and knowing how is he, believed it. It has seen in the images, sees that it was not hand".

Balenziaga Calms the tensions with the VAR

On the use of a technology that is raising a lot of dust in the last days, Balenziaga has showed conciliatory, and has preferred to defend the utility of the VAR. "They have informed us on this. It is truth that in the moment, in hot you pitan something and jo!, with the nerves ask what think that have to ask, but the other day think that the last played of the party the referee and the VAR hit, was not penalti", explained on a possible demolish to Nélson Semedo, admitting that it costs to adapt but that it is a very useful solution.
