The player says that he did not mess with the referee’s mother but that it was a partner of his in the locker room

He also laughed at the possibility of playing for Atlético de Madrid. “Me with Cholo? I can’t imagine it”

Gerard Piqué explained how Gil Manzano was sent off in the middle of the game against Osasuna, the last of his sports career: “In the middle, after the arbitration that hurt us, and a lot, because there was a corner that wasn’t , a foul on Marcos Alonso who didn’t whistle, a cardboard to Lewandowski that wasn’t…, I go to the center of the field to comment on several plays, he doesn’t even want to listen to me. I enter the tunnel and tell him that it always harms us. With just that he expels us. He points to me and tells Carlos Naval that he “is expelled.” He kicks me out just for that.

He adds that “then I have seen that misterchip the referees have expelled many more players or bench coaches in Spain than in the Premier. An outrageous difference. At the minimum they expel you here. In the Premier they allow it. They have no empathy from here. This is how the topic ends. What in theory I told her about her mother was like this: I go into the locker room and the referee’s is right next to it. There is a colleague of mine who is already inside the locker room who says that phrase. I don’t want to say the name of who said it. The referee listens to him from his locker room and puts the words in my mouth. I get expelled for telling him you’re always the same. What he puts on the record is once already expelled. And another colleague says it. Lor add later because he wants to put me 6, 8 or 4 games.. They do it in case I want to play for another club like Real Madrid or Atlético de Madrid (He laughs). Imagine that now I signed for Atlético de Madrid! Imagine me training with Cholo! The one who created that news….”
