Barcelona manager Hansi Flick told Spanish football for their treatment of officials, in a week in which an investigation was opened in a referee after controversial calls that Real Madrid thought they were against them. The German coach asked for the players and manager to protect referees, “because we can't play without them.”
The week in Spanish football was again dominated by referee Controverse, after Real Madrid striped against a broadcast for Jude Bellingham and complained about not given punishment. Alaves and Real Sociedad also expressed dismay in officializing in their matches against Leganes and Real Betis respectively.
“It is very important to have referees. What they do with the referees in Spain is incredible. I don't like it. We must protect them. I don't like to use energy against the referees. We have the VAR and we have to trust them. You have to change things because they are human and it is normal to make mistakes. Players and coaches also make mistakes, and we as players and managers have to protect them. “
Flick was also asked about the fact that Bellingham received the same suspension for telling Munuera to 'go out' as he did to throw his hand in the air in November.
“I don't have to say anything about this. In the last press conference I said something about Bellingham. He is a great player, one of the best in his position. He is not my player and I don't have to say anything about this. What is important to me is my team on the field, that's what I want to see. “
Flick said that discourse about civil servants was purely an excuse, and that winning or losing did not come down to them.
“We always look for apologies. If we lose, it is because of the referees and it is not. We all make mistakes, I make them, you make them, even the referees. We must protect the referees because we cannot play without them. We must protect them. We have to play better to win. “
