“One day we have to say Real Madrid TV is enough”

Following the match in the competition calendar by match, Real Madrid TV is back in the fray against the next designated referee for a match with Real Madrid. In this case, it is the turn of Juan Martínez Munuera and the VAR referee, José Luis González González, who will be in charge of trying to do justice to the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid this Wednesday at the Camp Nou. In his video of the alleged grievances, the white club’s official television channel compiled the plays refereed in the past by Martínez Munuera and González González and which, in his opinion, harmed the team of Merengue.

The former referee Eduardo Iturralde González stated, in statements to BE, that “at some point we have to say enough is enough” to Real Madrid TV from the arbitration body. “At some point, enough has to be said in the face of so much communication, through writing on television. The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) has to consider saying that we have reached this and see all the communications that may be capable of violating the integrity of the referee” , he pointed out.

Iturralde González understands that, with constant messages like this, “the tension continues to grow and the pressure also continues to grow around arbitration, when it should be protected.”

He gave as an example the Frenchman Turpin and his request

Finally, Iturralde González identified the possibility of acting as did French international referee Clement Turpinwho filed a complaint for defamation made through Twitter against a journalist from the official OL channel, who was sentenced by the French Justice to a financial fine.

The referee decided to file a complaint with the aim of “making people understand that a referee cannot be insulted, intimidated or threatened with impunity, regardless of the division”. “The CTA also needs to consider taking action,” suggested Iturralde González.
