Luis Medina Cantalejopresident of Technical Committee of Referees (CTA)is one of the main characters of the program ‘The Great Game of COPE’, where among many other things, he talked about the videos he usually makes Real Madrid TV highlighting bad actions for the white team. This time the person indicated is Alberola Rojasreferee in charge of the shootout for the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup between the meringues and the Atlético de Madrid.
The boss of CTA He said that “it doesn’t seem right to me, it doesn’t seem right to me. It’s a lot of pressure. We don’t like it. There’s no team in the world that does this. What’s happening in this medium has never happened in any sport and I don’t know that it happens everywhere else.”
And he added that “I’m not interested. Let everyone do what they see fit, but putting so much pressure on them… The referees don’t see it and neither do I, for personal health. They are opinions, but when they get a First Class referee and you get plays from Castile…”.
About whether he talked about the issue with the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perezassured that “I don’t need to talk to the president of real Madrid nor the president of real Madrid with me. Whenever you want, I have no problem. We had to be in our place and I worked with the referees. I’m talking Roberto Carlos, Solari, but every president has to be in his place. It’s not doing right. It looks incredible if I don’t say it,” he insists.
Her relationship with Mateu Lahoz
Asked if he had a bad vibe Antonio Mateu Lahoz, Medina Cantalejo He stated that “no good or bad. We have coincided for a series of years in the First Division and there has not been any kind of problem. What happens is that, over time, when we cross paths, I had to decide at the end of last season that a very successful referee ended a period. You will not hear a single negative word from me about Matthew. “He chooses to work with you, with the media, and as long as he does it respectfully, I have no problem.”
Finally, he said about the comments of Mateu Lahoz in SO “I just don’t know what he’s saying. As long as they’re formative comments about a wrong or right decision, because that’s what you pay him, I can’t say anything. The day he disrespects a referee, well, maybe. But let him say that in the Classics they called him to tell him to do it the way he wanted to do it, I can tell you I didn’t. Neither did Velasco. I guarantee you that Sanchez Arminioimpossible”.
