Wild rant from Edu Aguirre against the new CTA, he explodes live: 'None...'

Changes are coming to Spanish soccer. After everything that has happened in recent seasons regarding the Spanish refereeing establishment, including the eruption of the "Negreira case", RFEF has undergone a process of metamorphosis. The entity previously presided over by Luis Rubiales is now led by Rafael Louzán.

The leaders of Spanish soccer have also considered it necessary to make a change in the leadership of national referees. As a result, Luis Medina Cantalejo has been replaced by Francisco Soto, whose first statements as president of CTA are already sparking several significant reactions.

One of the most notable in this regard features Edu Aguirre. The journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones", sent to the United States for the Club World Cup, wanted to comment on the words of the new leader of the referees in our country. This reporter doesn't seem to agree that the "Negreira case" is "an isolated incident".

Especially because "there isn't any referee here at the Club World Cup. From the best league in the world", as Francisco Soto had described the Spanish national competition, "well, there isn't any referee. They should ask Infantino if the 'Negreira case' is something even remotely isolated", says Edu Aguirre.

He has no doubt

The absence of Spanish referees for the Club World Cup matches is news that surprised many in our country. Not only because of the total lack of on-field referees, but also because of the selection of just two of those workers... to serve as VAR assistants for video refereeing professionals from other countries.

"I think we need to step out of the 'El Chiringuito' studio, which we've all done, to know that the Civil Guard doesn't just enter a procedure for no reason". Edu Aguirre points out that, far from those Atresmedia facilities, "everyone knows what the 'Negreira case' is, everyone knows what Barcelona has done".

The journalist doesn't hesitate to call it "the biggest stain in the history of Spanish soccer. It's something so extremely serious that it must be acknowledged, there's no need to argue 'nothing has been proven'". According to Edu Aguirre's opinion, "it's a disgrace to pay €6,000 (6,000 euros) for each of those shoddy reports full of spelling mistakes, nobody believes that".

As a result, Edu Aguirre gives voice to the discontent of a large part of national soccer regarding the "Negreira case" and the current situation of the refereeing establishment in Spain. Not many consider Spanish referees to be the best in the world: both FIFA and UEFA don't usually recruit those professionals for the most prominent matches in their competitions.
