It’s not being an easy season for him. arbitration collective. The most obvious proof is the denunciation of “lack of freedom of expression” emited by Carlo Ancelotti y Xavi Hernandez, the coaches of the two main LaLiga teams. Rafa Benítez, from Celta, one of the coaches who feels he has suffered the greatest damage, did not attend the meeting that both groups had. However, the referees They take advantage of their exercise in the first part of the season.
“Accuracy and impartiality”
“Whoever tells me that this season there is a problem with his hands he is not following the competition: In Second there have only been two bad whistles and in First one. “In the area it is working well, with some errors, but many successes. We are very satisfied with the work of our staff for many reasons: for the level of success and for impartialitywe can prove it with statistics.”
They are both quotes from Luis Medina Cantalejopresident of Technical Committee of Referees (CTA)who appeared alongside Carlos Clos Gómez, director of the VAR project and Alberto Undiano Mallenco, from the CTA technical commission.
Medina Cantalejo said that the referees suffer “mobbing” from the players. “It occurs in the technical area, where sometimes it is very difficult to work. Like when you surround the referee who is going to consult a problem or incident“said the head of the referees, who later had to clarify the use of a term that, according to the RAE, consists of “harassment to which a person is systematically subjected in the workplace and which is usually cause serious psychological disorders.” The former referee clarified: “There is no psychological problem in our team”.
The VAR audios
In this regard, Medina Cantalejo developed his complaint against the pressures they receive and did so alluding – without expressly citing them – to the videos produced by Real Madrid Television on some occasions before the meetings. “We have experienced moments of strong criticism. I think it is not positive that, before a meeting is held, the referees begin to be pressured. “Their job is already complicated enough without putting unnecessary pressure on them.”
In the normative field itself, Medina Cantalejo announced that the CTA has met with LaLiga technicians so that you can hear the audios of the WAS. “We will make arrangements so that the spectators can listen to the referee’s conversation with the VAR. It can be used to understand the plays and situations of the match,” the head of the group clarified regarding this proposal.
Rubiales case and Negreira case
There were also issues related to two of the most important processes that Spanish football has experienced. On the one hand, the Rubiales case, where the arbitrators were accused of not having taken a position on the matter. “My role is not to give opinions to politicians. Whatever I’ve had to talk to Luis RubialesOf course I’ve talked about it.. In my life I have not given you any headlines, I only talk about penalties. When the president resigned, I put my position at the disposal of Pedro Rocha and I am still here. There you have my answer,” he defended.
“Since the Negreira case broke, it surprised us all and we put all the information we had at judicial disposal. What we want is for this to be resolved as soon as possible and for it to be paid to the maximum extent that justice stipulates. It has done a lot of damage to the refereeing and we are looking forward to it ending, because it not only damages the refereeing, it damages Spanish football.“, Medina Cantalejo explained about the case of corruption of the establishment.

Asked about the operation of the VOR room, which former referee Estrada Fernández denounced and called “secret”, the head of the referees said that they teach “everything.” “I don’t know the facilities at the Camp Nou or the Bernabéu either. We show you everything. Maybe some people think that there are tunnels that connect to give instructions to the referees, but that is not the case. By the way, before it comes out: there is another simulation room upstairs that they also say is secret. “It serves that purpose, to prepare for the games, nothing more.”
In relation to the statements of David López, a Girona player who accused referee Ortiz Arias of insulting him (he later retracted it), Medina Cantalejo said that “it seemed like it was rehearsed.” “It was said that he should calm down a little and even a teammate thanked him. We made a statement saying that we had heard it and that we were making it available to the club and the player. It is very serious for a player to say that a referee has insulted him. “If that had been the case, Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias would not belong to the CTA staff.”
