Lewandowski: "The referees are killing the League"

Robert Lewandowski has spent little more than a season in Spanish football struggling with iron markings by defenders, some on the limit of free kicks and others who have used all the tricks at their disposal to drive the Pole crazy, at times the victim of that trap . The Barça striker regretted that the referees allow such situations that "are killing the League".

"The League is not attractive enough in the attacking game. The referees are killing the League. In some situations they allow you too many things in defense. If I make a foul, suddenly there is a different interpretation, and a yellow card so that I don't There are problems. It's not normal. LaLiga doesn't want to promote the attacking game", denounced the striker in the middle of his country Meczyki.

Lewandowski insisted that "the League is not offensive or attractive for this", in addition to describing it as "strange" that the referees allow this type of party that does not favor the show. "The referees seem to know that there is a team that does not want to play football, they throw themselves, they pretend, they provoke and they commit fouls," added the one from Warsaw.

The blaugrana suffered this scenario for the last time during Barça's visit to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on the first day of the League, where Getafe, and especially the defender Damián Suárez, constantly used contact without the ball and stealthy blows to get the ball out of game against a Lewandowski who has not started the season in the best way, little participated in the games and with only one goal in three games.

The 35-year-old veteran striker already had a controversial run-in with referee Gil Manzano last season at El Sadar, precisely the stadium where Barça will play the fourth day of the league championship this Sunday. Lewandowski was sent off in the Osasuna field for a double yellow card and when he left the pitch he touched his nose, a gesture that the Competition Committee punished with a three-game ban, considering that it was a contempt for the braid.
