What should be a tool to improve football is on its way to what will end it. The match between Real Madrid and Almería is one that will go down in history as an embarrassment for the Spanish referee, who is becoming more lonely every day.

Referees complain, but then they are the most protected. You can’t say anything, or give an opinion. The smallest thing that one deviates a little from the line, sanction. But ask David Lopez. And self-criticism, that’s okay. This is what happens every day, with the zenith now in Real Madrid-Almería, trying to improve.

It was Francisco José Hernández, but anyone can sign the arbitration. This is the level. Anyone who has never seen a game would be hard-pressed to tell what happened on the Santiago Bernabéu pitch. Or not, it’s as easy as saying that now the referee on the field is useless. Absolutely nothing. Only the VAR object is valid. Three actions determined Real Madrid’s comeback. And three, of the weapons to be taken.

First, not one foul, but two like a piano. For everyone who played football, but not for Hernández Hernández, from the VAR room, or for José Hernández. They see Kaiky’s hand, which is there, but only after a resounding push from Joselu. No doubt. And the line continued to nullify Almería’s third, due to a touch on Bellingham’s face that the main referee saw and was not considered to be penalized, but after VAR changed his mind. And it ended with a goal disallowed for a handball against Vinicius, which was a handball, but not, for the referees, who understand them less every day, neither.

This trend is everyday. Like not understanding an extra technician when, on top of that, they add 11 minutes to the clock. Well no, red Garitano to finish crowning himself. Also, José Hernández, as well as other people with whistles in their mouths, must once again think that their mistakes are paid by clubs, players and coaches, while they get away with it. Oh, no, you can now listen to the VAR audios. Long live the farmhouse.
