RFEF TO TAKE DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST CADIZ PRESIDENT FOLLOWING VAR CONTROVERSY

Cadiz are understandably enraged by the VAR decision that cost them a victory against Elche on Monday night.

Elche's Ezequiel Ponce equalized with ten minutes remaining in the game, which proved to be the game-winning goal.
Despite the fact that Ponce appeared to be offside in the build-up, VAR left the to stand.


Following the game, Cadiz issued a statement in which they requested that the game be replayed from the moment the goal was scored, but La Liga and the RFEF both rejected that idea.
The event was also discussed by the club's president, Manuel Vizcaino, who had some harsh words for RFEF president Luis Rubiales.


"Cadiz has a Chinese turn every time. Why am I calling Luis (Rubiales)? Small teams are disregarded because he is only interested in the Super Cup and the glitz. Nobody is going to give me back my two points."

These remarks appeared to have left Vizcaino in deep water, with the RFEF reportedly planning an investigation into his remarks.

Cadiz are understandably enraged after dropping two key points in their fight against relegation, and things appear to be getting worse for Vizcaino.


#Yannick Carrasco move still on for Barcelona despite Memphis Depay deal


Memphis Depay’s impending move to Atletico Madrid means that Barcelona will require a replacement for the second half of the season.
The Dutchman will move to the Spanish capital in the next couple of days, with Atleti having agreed a deal with the la Liga leaders for his transfer. For Thursday’s Copa del Rey tie against Ceuta, Depay’s place in the squad has gone to young striker Angel Alarcon.

Looking ahead, another player is likely to be brought in to cover for the rest of the season. Yannick Carrasco was one that has been linked with a move to Catalonia, with a swap deal planned with Depay heading the other way. With the Dutch forward’s move, it was expected that a move for Carrasco would collapse.

Instead, Sport report that Barcelona are still pushing for a loan deal for the Belgian winger, and feel that a deal is now more likely because of the sale of Depay to Atleti.

Even if they can’t secure his signing this month, Barca may still move for Carrasco in the summer.
