Didac Aguirre Griezmann Responds to Real Madrid's Letter to the Referees 48 Hours Before the Derby
Griezmann's opinion regarding Real Madrid's situation with refereeing
The match against Espanyol brought several controversies that Real Madrid didn't let pass. By presenting a letter to the RFEF, the club made clear its displeasure with the refereeing. Seeking to make a change in the refereeing system, their letter provoked thousands of reactions, with Antoine Griezmann's standing out.
"They have enough with putting up with us; It's not good for a referee to arrive like this to a match." Through these words, Griezmann made clear his complete disagreement with Real Madrid. Faced with the alleged pressure that the white club is exerting on the refereeing, the Frenchman has evidenced his stance regarding this situation.
"The blame is on everyone: clubs, presidents, journalists," added the French player. These words demonstrate Griezmann's attempt to defend Spanish refereeing. By assuring that the blame is not exclusively on the referees, the Frenchman is against Real Madrid.
Antoine Griezmann's stance
With the Madrid classic being this Saturday, February 8, tensions have been rising. Refereeing, above all, is an issue that Real Madrid seeks to solve before the start of this important match. Still having the events of Cornellà fresh in memory, the club seeks to avoid a similar scenario for a match like the classic.
However, Griezmann's recent words haven't been of much help for the white club's intentions with the refereeing. Seeking a change for the better for each and every Spanish team, the Frenchman's stance is a problem.
While it is true that blame can be attributed to other parties, it is not fair to try to completely defend the referees. Having demonstrated their controversial errors countless times, Real Madrid must remain firm in its stance.
The only responsible ones
This situation has only made it clear that Real Madrid is the only one that has had the courage to raise its voice to fight against a clear injustice. To improve Spanish soccer, it is essential to change the refereeing of this country for the better and forever.
