Referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero has been the center of attention in Spain in recent days, since he has sent Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham away. Los Blancos has complained Virulent about his official, and it was announced on Tuesday that he had been investigated because of his business tires.
Munuera is now unofficially suspended by the Royal Spanish football federation (RFEF) and UEFA, while investigating a potential conflict between his business talent sports speakers, in the midst of reports that they are doing business with La Liga, UEFA, the RFEF and other clubs, including Manchester Cityy and Aston Villa.
The official published a statement that denied something like this on his Instagram, and later appeared on Cadena Cope later on Tuesday evening to explain his side of things.
“I was the first to see all this hoax, these lies. I have been an active part to clarify this company that has been active for a year and with which I have given four or five conferences and have continued the values of sport to young people. I am very calm and I want to deny all the lies that we have become used to in recent months. “
“I set up a company for when I am no longer a referee and we give conferences to companies. As an extra service, free, for young people who want to go, we create a database with the sports company sector so that these young people have a reference site. There is nothing left. I spoke with the legal department. I am completely at their disposal to resolve what is needed. Louzan [President of the RFEF] called me and I told him the same thing. '
Montero continued to mention what he thought as an orchestrated campaign and explained the damage that it caused to his personal life. Certainly, the timing of these revelations has been questioned, although the research will discover whether they have merit or not.
“There are interests of other types that we have long ago. I have cousins who are being taxed, nine brothers who are being swept away, a 90-year-old father who goes to mass … How can we show the atrocities we say in a newspaper? Do we manage violence or do we promote it through all the media? I didn't leave the house all day without believing what happens and this gets out of hand. Which sport do we create? “
The recent seasons have seen several violent attacks on referees in basic football, something emphasized by the referee committee as a result of the club and the media attention. Munuera also received death threats this week.
In the meantime, he continued, as he had made in a statement on social media, to deny connections between Talentus sports speakers and football institutions or clubs.
“I was never paid for in my life by a sportingtity. I am paid by the companies that hire me, “he explained. Cadena SER has been reported that his business partner in Talentus Sports Speakers, Francisco Sanchez-Castaner, has business relationships with La Liga, UEFA, the RFEF and football clubs through another company called Deportalia Sports. Both companies were registered at the same address and Munuera was questioned why there was a Lionel Messi wall painting at that address.
'Messi's wall painting at his headquarters of his company: I don't live there and I don't have an office there. That is the tax headquarters of another company that the partner shares. There is nothing strange. I have nothing to hide, everything has been clarified and the news will come out that everything is explained. “
One of the things that aroused further was that Munuera seemed to be to publicly erase all traces of his participation in Talentus sports speakers from his LinkedIn page -hours after the investigation, although it stays on his Instagram page. He also had an explanation for that.
“Before they make me another 100 thousand threatening messages, death threats, insults, insults … What I did, the LinkedIn account is to silence (making the page private). I'm not afraid because I have nothing to hide. My family is the one who suffers the most, they are very worried, extremely worried. They know they can't ask me to leave [refereeing]It is impossible. I try to calm them. You can endure this defamation as well as possible, but my parents do not earn this. “
He would also notice that until a perfect robot system had been invented, he and other referees would continue to make mistakes and that the introduction of VAR was not presented by civil servants. Moreover, he also said that he had not looked back on one of his decisions during the Osasuna-Real Madrid game.
