Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez slams match officials after Celta Vigo draw: Maybe the president will sack me

Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez hit out at the match officials after Monday's 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo.

The hosts saw Victor Chust sent off, which left Sergio furious afterwards.

He said: "Today with a defeat here I would have gone into relegation and maybe the president wants to sack me and the coaching staff out. I believe that they are very rigorous actions that must be evaluated and taken into account that I could lose my job for an action like this.

"In the expulsion play there was a clear foul on Roger previously, but I also believe that Fali can reach that ball because Aspas does not have control of the ball and anything could have happened.

"What I believe is that it is an action to see at least in the VAR and then decide because the VAR is also wrong.

"Today the decisions all went to Celta. I think we have been a Punchi doll, who is easier to whistle against. Rafa Benítez may not have the feeling today that he has been harmed, but we do and I hope they give it back to us one day, that they reflect on this.

"I think that in Cádiz, we are being measured differently from others. If we lose time, if we make a foul, the measuring stick is different for one team and another. And I worry that my players tell me that the treatment they receive is not correct, such as with phrases like 'I already know you and I know what you are going to do'."
