Guti's reaction to Real Madrid's war against the referees and RFEF: 'the letter'

Real Madrid seems to have prepared for "war" against Spanish referees. The discontent of the white club was already public and notorious since the outbreak of the "Negreira case", manifested through the videos about refereeing errors on Real Madrid TV. But the publication of that letter, after the controversial and questioned refereeing at the RCDE Stadium, only prolongs the complicated situation of Spanish football.

The move by the white club, requesting access to the audio of the plays highlighted in the match against Espanyol, would have received a clear reply. According to the statements of Medina Cantalejo in "El Cafelito", it still wouldn't be the appropriate time to access that content. Such comments have provoked even more discussions on the matter.

In "El Chiringuito de Jugones" they haven't hesitated to analyze the interview of Josep Pedrerol with the president of the CTA, as well as the letter published by Real Madrid. One of the most striking comments on the matter, although brief, comes from "Guti". The former white midfielder states that "I perfectly understand Real Madrid's letter", taking into account everything that has happened regarding the refereeing body in recent years.

Not only the notorious "Negreira case", a file that is still in its investigation phase in the courts of Barcelona. Also due to the differences in appreciation, repeated and constant, between the refereeing received and the club's opinion on the resolution of the most controversial plays in each match played.

Without doubts

In this context, "Guti" observes everything from Real Madrid's point of view and understands the decision made by the board led by Florentino Pérez last Monday. This request to RFEF is joined by a proposal for the regeneration of the refereeing group that the merengue president already discussed with Rafael Louzán in private.

It was the head of RFEF himself who revealed that recommendation, which included the arrival of English referees to Spanish competitions, in a conversation with Josep Pedrerol in "El Cafelito". The reaction to those words suggested that Real Madrid aspired to control the refereeing body, an idea that the white club has never aspired to or intended.

Be that as it may, "Guti" seems to be on Real Madrid's side in this important issue regarding the delicate moment that Spanish football is going through. The refereeing controversy will remain as a backdrop in a particularly complicated week for the merengue entity, in which its situation in two competitions is at stake.

The Copa del Rey quarterfinals against Leganés are the prelude to the Madrid classic, a match in which the leadership of LaLiga is at stake. The narrow difference between both teams means that Real Madrid must obtain victory to defend the leadership of the top national competition for another matchday.
