Ancelotti on Bellingham’s red card: “The referee didn’t understand English very well” | OneFootball

The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke to the media this Saturday at the press conference after the match against CA Osasuna, corresponding to the 24th day of the league, which was once again marked by the refereeing controversy that seems to be linked to the Whites in recent weeks.

Ancelotti began by analyzing the referee’s performance: “Boh. It was a game in which we started well from a footballing point of view. The red card for Bellingham… he didn’t understand English very well. He said ‘fuck off’, not ‘fuck you’. That’s where he went wrong. Fuck off means don’t fuck with me. It’s not offensive. Things have happened to us in the last three games that everybody has seen. I don’t want to add to that because I want to be in the next game.

“Everyone has seen it. The VAR doesn’t analyse actions in the other team’s area and it does in ours,” he continued. There is a problem. Things have happened in the last three games that shouldn’t have happened. What we can do is keep fighting and keep fighting. Hopefully in the Champions League everything will work out,” the Italian said.

Do you think you need to talk to Bellingham? “I would be in favor of talking to the referee and not to Bellingham. He said if it’s a foul, it’s a penalty. No shit. The red card comes from the nervousness of the referee. Today he did nothing to get sent off. He made a mistake in the translation, nothing more”.

The coach also spoke about the influence of the Real Madrid letter: “Something has happened in the last three games that shouldn’t have happened. What we can do is continue to fight and play well, that’s what we have to do next Wednesday and in La Liga. Hopefully everything will work out. Ancelotti also saw yellow during the game: “He booked me because I told him there was a handball in the area and in my opinion he should have checked the VAR. They turned it on a little later”.

Ancelotti refused to comment on the chants against Vinicius and Asencio: “I think there’s a committee looking into it, let’s see what happens. I have nothing to add, I was very focused on what was happening in the game.
