Didac Aguirre Mateu Lahoz Digs into the Wound of the Negreira Case, is the First Referee to Admit It
The Unexpected Statements Made by Mateu Lahoz on the Negreira Case
One of the biggest controversies in the history of this sport is, without a doubt, the Negreira case. With Barcelona showing their true colors through this case, their reputation was forever tarnished. Although the "culés" have tried to forget this fact, they are occasionally reminded of their dark past.
On this occasion, the person responsible for recalling this enormous controversy was the former referee, Mateu Lahoz. Talking about the match between Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, Lahoz mentioned Javier Enríquez Romero. "It's a shame for him in this case not to have been a client...those who were clients, today in UEFA are doing much better," he revealed.
Through these words, Lahoz admitted that the clients of Negreira's son have received support to succeed. Despite praising the work of Burgos Bengoetxea, the referee of the Barcelona match, these statements have given much to think about.
Mateu Lahoz's Statements
Having had a long career as a referee, Lahoz has always given his opinion on current refereeing. With his comments being mostly analysis, Lahoz has never spoken as clearly as with the Negreira case. Aware that the topic remains very hot, the former referee has had no problem reigniting the controversy.
His words have left Barcelona, which continues to be affected by this situation of which it is the main suspect, in a very bad light. Admitting that the referees who are clients of Negreira's son have received constant help, the controversy has grown.
This means that, instead of being rewarded for their excellent work, several referees have reached UEFA thanks to Javier Romero. With no further information on the matter, since Lahoz chose to change the conversation, the Negreira case continues to grow.
The Negreira Stain
No matter what Barcelona does in this or the coming seasons, the Negreira case will be a stain that will follow them for life. Still needing to confirm Lahoz's words, it is evident that the reputation of the "blaugrana" club continues to plummet.
