Chelsea and Manchester United met yesterday (Saturday) for a game that on paper was supposed to provide much more action but parted ways 0-0 without situations for the second time in a row this season. So when there are no goals, the team coaches allow themselves to vent frustration on the refereeing teams, and that’s exactly what happened.
It happened in the 14th minute, so Callum Hudson Audoi unintentionally touched a Chelsea pitch, Stuart Atwell, the referee, consulted with his assistants at VAR and decided not to rule on a penalty kick from 11 yards out. Which led to angry reactions from Manchester United.
The Red Devils coach, Ola Gunnar Solskjaer, Commented: “There was a 100% penalty, I can not understand why it was decided not to whistle towards the penalty spot. I saw the touch of the hand from the lines, when you look at it in the video, you can understand that they took us two points here. I can not say what the referee said to the players because it will not sound good. There is a lot of influence from the outside, when they put it on the networks, it affects the judges, it is annoying, there is a lot of pressure on the judges. “
Luke Shaw He shared: “I heard the referee say to Harry Maguire ‘if I decide it’s a penalty, it’s going to get a lot of talk afterwards’. “I do not understand at all why the game stopped if he decided not to whistle for Pendel, we were in the middle of an attack and it interrupted the flow of the game, but I’m not going to cry about it, I think we did not do enough in the match to win.”
Blues coach, Thomas Tuchel, Did not understand at all what the whole storm was about: “I do not understand why the judge even went to see the incident, he did everything right and his decision was right and I am glad that Pendel was not burned for our duty.”
Meanwhile, Manchester United, who led the table for much of the season, theoretically claim the crown, but in practice, the Red Devils simply do not seem to be able to beat the big teams when they lost 16 points: Solskjaer’s side were beaten 6-1 by Tottenham, She twice scored 0: 0 with Chelsea, surrendered to Arsenal 1: 0 and failed to win in the second round when she scored 0: 0, also against Manchester City and Liverpool she ended in a goalless draw.
