Getafe’s home loss against Rayo Vallecano ended in a 0-2 defeat as Man Utd’s loaned player Greenwood was sent off for abusing the referee.
In the fiftyth minute of the encounter against Rayo Vallecano, Greenwood was given a red card. Apart from the red card that the English player received, Getafe was also at a disadvantage since right back Damian Suarez and striker Juanmi Latasa had to leave the pitch early. Rayo Vallecano scored two goals in minutes 45+1 and 47 to decisively upset the home team.
Mason Greenwood was dismissed during Getafe’s match against Rayo Vallecano.
For disobedience, the forward received a red card.
When Greenwood felt he was fouled but the referee chose not to raise his hand, he became enraged.
Additionally, it appeared from replays of the incident that Greenwood cursed while making his point.
Mr. Figueroa Vazquez, the match’s primary referee, explained the unclear rulings by claiming that Greenwood repeatedly insulted him despite not understanding Spanish. “Greenwood was sent off in the 50th minute because it seemed he reacted to my decision,” the referee said in his explanation. He also made a repeated gesture after being escorted off the field, indicating his disagreement with the ruling. I’m not sure if he comprehended what we said.
Apart from him, Getafe’s two other red cards were a result of their improper response to the referee. I received numerous taunts, and the red card was well-earned.
The coaching staff at Getafe, in contrast to referee Figueroa Vazquez, seemed perplexed by the treatment that their players had to endure. In support of Greenwood, coach Jose Bordalas stated that the referee mistranslated something when speaking with him.
According to Jose Bordalas, Greenwood is an excellent man. Despite his lack of Spanish language skills, Greenwood always treats people with respect. That’s right—he never insulted anyone. I believe that everything was overdone, and that the referee’s excessive strictness made everything worse.
Greenwood joined Getafe on loan for the start of the 2023–2024 campaign. The English team provides financial support and this athlete continues to be paid by M.U. In addition, he gets to study Spanish while residing in the “Land of Bullfighting.” After 15 games, Greenwood was still playing well, tallying 3 goals and 4 assists. The athlete was born in 2001, according to AS, and he appears to be of interest to prominent La Liga teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
