Fernando Sanz Points to 19 Laliga Teams and Speaks More Clearly Than Ever: 'what...?'

Real Madrid Secured Victory in the Match Against Girona, a game that was free of refereeing controversy after three consecutive matches with such particular discussions. Be that as it may, Carlo Ancelotti's players are already thinking about the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, leaving analysts and commentators to reflect on the latest LaLiga matchday.

As expected, 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' has strictly followed its custom of reviewing the significance of the matches played since last Friday. One of the most striking issues is the protests from teams like Getafe, Las Palmas, and Valencia.

These three teams expressed their dissatisfaction due to refereeing decisions that harmed them. The publication of these messages of discontent through their social media comes just a few days after a meeting held with RFEF: "respect the referee, respect soccer". The reaction of LaLiga teams to Real Madrid's statement, initially of unity against those attempts to regenerate the refereeing collective, has quickly unraveled.

The claims from Getafe and Valencia, the most striking and vocal on social media, have caused Fernando Sanz to 'explode' live on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones'. In the midst of the debate, the panelist opens up: "now everyone complains, now everyone is criticizing the referees". This behavior is striking for the Madridist commentator due to images like those seen on the field of all Spanish stadiums this very matchday.

It Doesn't Make Sense

The anger at this change of stance, now that some teams have been harmed by refereeing actions, is very clear:  "What the heck are you doing now, what the heck are you doing now?". Fernando Sanz points out that "now complaining about the referees when you were all in the meeting there saying 'no, the referees, poor things', Flick comes out 'no, we have to protect', I don't know what". 

Far from maintaining the commitment agreed upon in the last meeting with RFEF, some LaLiga clubs seem to have reignited the refereeing controversy. This difference in criteria in such a short time particularly annoys Fernando Sanz: "and here comes the criticism, and here comes the criticism. But what are you doing, man, what are you doing? You have some nerve".

These candid words add more to the debate about the current state of the refereeing collective and Real Madrid's stance regarding the institution itself. Especially after notable milestones like the 'Negreira case' scandal, which has significantly damaged the image of Spanish referees and scrutinized their actions more than ever.

Real Madrid, on repeated occasions, has expressed its idea of completely regenerating the system and the refereeing collective to eliminate any debate. These proposals don't seem to find much support among the rest of the LaLiga clubs... who continue to complain every time Spanish referees harm them, regardless of the team they face or the LaLiga matchday being played.
