One of the most talked about moments of the press conference of Xavi Hernandez before the Classic was when the Barça coach defined the appointment of Gil Manzano, in a response in which Egarense showed that he did not know the referees or their appointments. “For me, the computer has detected a referee and the less we talk about him, the better. Nothing more. This is a draw in principle, right? I always say the same thing, you always ask me the same thing, I think with the honesty of the referee, who does it as best as possible and as fair as possible.
These are the words of Xavi and comments about it spread immediately because at present the arbitrators are not appointed by lottery but by a special committee for this purpose, the committee on appointments, composed of Medina Cantalejo, Daudén Ibáñez and Puentes Leira.
The fact is that until 2004, the time of Xavi player, yes it is by draw, and the Barça coach remains in that way of proceeding, to clearly see that Egarense does not care or know how the referees are assigned because, as he repeatedly said, you have to let them do their job.
