Three games for Marcelo! – AS.com

The competition commission confirmed, on Friday, the worst predictions for Real Madrid: The red that Marcelo saw in Elche and his phrases scored by referee Figueroa Vazquez in the minutes (“You’re so bad”) will cost the Brazilian a three-match ban. One for expulsion itself and two more, under Section 117, when the act is understood as “disregarding or disregarding” the provision. The result is that Real Madrid will lose Marcelo in the cup quarter-finals and also in some virtual semi-final matches, if Ancelotti’s men qualify for that round. The left-back had to play matches in the league as well if it was a penalty for an act deemed dangerous (four or more matches).

Madrid filed a complaint for Marcelo’s expulsion with a video clip in which he tried to prove that there was no contact between the madridista and Moriente, but the competition rejected him, arguing that there was: “(…) we have considered in relation to the allegations that he contracted to stipulate that, After watching the video evidence presented, it was confirmed that the Real Madrid player had contact with the striker, a situation that the referee identified as a knockout of a clear goal opportunity, which corresponds to the assessment, exclusively to determine the referee. the meeting (…)”.

Ancelotti will have to prepare for the Copa match against Athletic on Thursday 3 February (9:30 pm) without only Marcelo. After the madridista captain showed flashes of his best form In Martínez Valero before he had to take a shower for that controversial play that ended up getting him fired by Figueroa.
