Rafael Louzán's Response to Munuera Montero's Officiating at El Sadar

The individuals Rafael Louzán has pointed out following the controversies at El Sadar

The refereeing for the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna once again excelled due to its controversies. Clearly disadvantaging the merengue team, several complaints were made regarding this match. Rafael Louzán, president of the RFEF, in light of the questionable refereeing decisions, ended up pointing to two individuals as responsible.

Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez were singled out after the controversies at El Sadar. Both are responsible for selecting the field referees and also the VAR. Therefore, given the situation experienced by Real Madrid, the two have been pointed out for being the ones who chose the referees for this match.

Additionally, in response to Munuera Montero's refereeing, Rafael Louzán has expressed his desire for a change. Greater transparency, clearer evaluation criteria, and that those responsible for preparing the referees' reports be impartial and independent. These have been some of the changes Louzán seeks to implement to avoid further controversies.

The Individuals Responsible for the Controversy

Since the statement presented against the refereeing, Real Madrid has been disadvantaged by questionable decisions. The match against Osasuna was just one of the many where the merengue team suffered some controversy. However, the decisions made at El Sadar were clearly intended to harm the white club.

Aware that the refereeing has only worsened, Louzán seeks to make changes to end all the controversies. His desire to improve the refereeing shows that Real Madrid, through its statement, is closer to achieving its goal.

For a competition like LaLiga, it is essential that the refereeing can match the intensity of the matches. Therefore, it is important that individuals like Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez continue to be singled out as responsible for this situation.

The Changes to Be Made

While Louzán's intentions are clear, his changes can't be implemented as long as those responsible for these controversies remain. Due to this, Cantalejo and Clos should not be allowed to continue having the power to choose the referees for all the matches.
