Real Madrid Confidencial Iturralde González's Response to the Controversy With Munuera Montero: 'not a Day...'
The former referee issues a warning about everything that has come to light with the referee
One more day, Spanish refereeing was once again in the spotlight due to its controversial actions. Barça is the leader thanks to a penalty that wasn't called in their area on two occasions. Meanwhile, Real Madrid suffered from Munuera Montero's decisions, which always went the same way.
It's the same old story after what happened in previous matches, but this may have crossed the line. Munuera Montero will have to justify if his company has clients like City or Atlético. If so, he would be violating the RFEF's code of ethics and measures will need to be taken.
Meanwhile, Iturralde González has replied to the controversy with Munuera. The former referee stated that "it's one after another, there's no day of peace, there's not even an hour." He said this on Cadena COPE where he was deflecting the issue.
"From the inside, they are very calm that there is no conflict of interest," he pointed out according to his information. Although his words seem to convey a very different message. "Hopefully for the sake of refereeing, it is so," he added as a public statement regarding what is happening.
Iturralde González's Warning to Munuera Montero About His Company
The latest controversy arises from the revelation that the company Munuera Montero founded could be violating the RFEF's code of ethics. According to reports, Atlético de Madrid might be among its clients, which would create a conflict of interest. He claims this is not the case, but we will have to see what ultimately happens.
But Iturralde issues a warning: "Referees must know what world they are moving in today." He wanted to remind them that "they are super professionals because of what they do and because of what they earn." It seems that according to him, there are things that shouldn't be done the way they are being done.
They are not "to be thinking after the 90 minutes about my company or another story." "What you have to do is be very careful with what you set up around you," he warned. It seems they are unsettled by the latest information and suspicions.
