We’re like with a automobile, we don’t know whether it is computerized, whether it is hybrid… There’s something that must be defined to us. Why is it semi-automatic? I’m misplaced. I nonetheless don’t know if the boots had been yellow or black… We don’t wish to go there as a result of we don’t wish to go together with excuses. However there’s a query: what occurred? The place is the error, if there’s an error? If not, nothing occurs, allow them to clarify to us however they’ve to clarify one thing as a result of we’re slightly misplaced in what the semi-automatic is, if there’s affect from the VAR, if the referee can’t actually do something…”

Deco famous that regardless of his complaints, Barcelona couldn’t complain as a consequence of Actual Sociedad’s efficiency in the summertime.

I feel that greater than complaining we’ve got to attempt to make soccer clearer for everybody. It’s not only a Barca situation, it’s a soccer situation. Tomorrow may very well be a foul resolution for Atletico, towards Madrid, Sevilla, Rayo, Valladolid… We’re in a second the place we’re leaders and perhaps it doesn’t damage us, however think about that it’s a decisive level in a day the place it’s determined a League, a relegation… ”
