Oltra refuses to blame referee

Jose Luis Oltra has refused to blame the referee after his Deportivo La Coruna side lost 5-3 away to Real Zaragoza.

David Fernandez Borbalan sent Depor forward Pizzi off just after half-time for diving, but the 43-year-old Coach has admitted it was his players that lost the match, not the official.

“My team did everything to win in Zaragoza,” he told a Press conference. “You cannot speak of justice or injustice.

“The defeat was our own making.

“The team are extremely upset, but I am happy with what they've done today. The spirits are low, but we have to continue because our play has been good.”
