“It’s so difficult… because depending on which side you take, there are situations. The referees go through a moment of pressure, the VAR improves them, but exposes them too. Then we can discuss whether the audios are good: the issue is not whether they leak them, but what happens in them. They think we are all stupid, and that makes us angry.”NYSC Portal

“What we all need is for things to be natural. We can all make mistakes, no one is perfect. But naturally, everything flows. But when they are not natural, everyone gets anxious. The referees are paralysed, it is a very complicated moment for them, and what we can do is be quiet and play, which is the only thing we can do.”

The Argentine manager was positive about his side, saying that ‘we are growing’, and was pleased with Morata’s efforts in particular. However, he warned that Sevilla would be a tough test, and were in desperate need of results, which made them more dangerous, especially with the experience of Quique Sanchez Flores. Antoine Griezmann and Mario Hermoso retired from training on Wedensday due to fatigue, but are expected to be fit.
