The president of the Royal Spanish football federation (RFEF) Rafael Louzan has stated that although the Negreira corruption case is embarrassing for all involved, it has not had any influence on the implementation of civil servants. He also spoke to the drama before the final of Copa del Rey, while Real Madrid insisted to change the referees for the final and the day before refused to attend their press conference and training session.
Los Blancos has played a curious dual role in the Negreira case, one of the last teams involved in the legal case against Barcelona, ​​but consistently uses it as proof of corrupt official official. President Florentino Perez has also called for unity with Barcelona in his last public performance.
“The 'Negreira case' is in the courts,” Louzan told Sport. “Real Madrid has told me several times that I have to do something. It is an embarrassing issue, but it has not influenced the performance of the referee.”
Real Madrid is part of the Reforming Committee next to Real Betis and Seville, even though they were not chosen in the position. Louzan and the RFEF decided to expand an invitation for Los Blancos, which they accepted, and revealed that the consultation process would end in June.
“The referee system model, even before the latest controversies, has to evolve. It has been established since 1909. It is highly dependent on the RFEF president who appoints the CTA leader. Professional football has a lot to say in this respect.
“Real Madrid is very critical about this situation, and although the clubs did not vote for them to be part of this working group, we wanted them to be there. They offer their options and we agree. This first part will end on June 30.”
After referee Ricardo de Burgos Bergoetxea in tears in a press conference before the final of Copa del Rey, and Var Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes stated that the referee would take action against their persecution, Real Madrid moved. They saw it as a sign that they would be biased against Los Blancos are their videos that civil servants chase. Louzan admitted that she was a bad choice for the final for the press.
“We will make mistakes if we consider the referee as an enemy. There is more aggression and verbal violence in youth football. We have to look inside. The timing of the press conference of the Cup referees was not the best. It should have been looking.”
“Real Madrid had to be present at the events. I spoke with them and we managed to calm them down. I have met Florentino several times. Real Madrid is a great club and earns all respect, just like any other.”
The feeling of Real Madrid is that there is a genuine conviction that officials are against them, rightly or wrong. How increasingly the suggestion is that this could have a negative influence on their players, who have also manifested that faith. In the past two seasons, Jude Bellingham has received three red cards for deviating opinions, while Antonio Rudiger received a ban from five games and Lucas Vazquez a two-game ban for their reactions to a small decision in the Copa final too.
