There was a time, distant, in my childhood and protojuventud, during which there was a motto of a properly -known model {of electrical} materials, which nearly completely occupied the promoting of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and the pavilion of the Sports activities Metropolis of La Castellana. The motto was “higher there is no such thing as a.” Properly, this motto might be completely utilized to the chufleteros braids who whistle and whistle by the homeland leaving their wake of corruption and fixed love by soccer fields. They’re the perfect. Within the wage, not within the subject.
In Spain it’s important to be a referee. To not impart justice, that nobody does that right here, beginning with the Supreme Court docket and ending that of the VAR, however as a result of it’s the solely commerce the place you possibly can screw it each week, with premeditation, alevosía and even viciousness, and but they increase your wage. And never a symbolic climb of these which are introduced with trumpets after which it doesn’t provide you with for a squid sandwich, no. A historic, exemplary, galactic climb. Any further, Spanish referees would be the finest paid on this planet.
The very best paid. Not the perfect, not essentially the most ready, not essentially the most revered. Solely essentially the most paid.
That’s to say: the center Spanish referee, that which confuses the regulation with the microwave directions, will cost greater than an arbitrator of the Premier, greater than one of many Bundesliga, a couple of that has been pidered a World Cup closing, somewhat than one which has needed to survive the Mafia de la Conmebol with out the necessity for police escort. Right here, within the land of Negreira, within the nation the place the VAR works like an ouija within the arms of Sandro Rey, the braids will achieve greater than anybody.
And one wonders: why?
Is it for deserves? By worldwide status? Due to its immaculate impartiality?
It’s the solely commerce the place you possibly can screw it each week, with premeditation, alevosía and even viciousness, and but they increase your wage. A historic, exemplary, galactic climb. Any further, Spanish referees would be the finest paid on this planet
No. It’s for the same old: as a result of we stay a rustic kidnapped by the identical arms that made Spanish arbitration a pestilent lodazal for many years and since now, with Louzán on the head of the Federation, not solely nothing has been refined, however the machine has been awarded, like who places medals to a automotive bomb for the standard of the explosion.
That there has not been a single Spanish referee to the Membership World Cup, nor one, I repeat, neither one, nor as a fourth referee, nor as amassing, nor disguised as a nook stick, it has not assumed a reprimand. Quite the opposite: upward wage. Bonuses, market revaluation. They’re the politician of the establishments: the much less they do, the extra they cost. However at the least, the politician doesn’t whistle, I feel …
It should be stated clearly and with massive letters: Spanish arbitration is a seaside bar managed by the heirs of Negreira, with the blessing of their new faces, as outdated because the earlier ones. On this tragicomedy, the appointment of Louzán as president of the RFEF has not been a turning level, however a grotesque tracing of all the above. They promised us regeneration and gave us continuity. They promised contemporary air and have ventilated with the identical sock that Rubiales wore within the Arabia suitcase.
Louzán is the brand new patron of the outdated rot. Completely different canine, the identical necklace and, above, made with gold accounts.
It’s not that they haven’t refined obligations for the Negreira case, they’ve shielded their skilled descendants. That Barcelona paid for years to the vice chairman of the CTA whereas gaining leagues between invented penalties, apparent reds and wonderful arbitration possession cycles? Bah, previous water. Punctual matter. That there’s not a single Spanish collegiate who raised his voice towards that scandal, besides to say that “they did not know something”? Properly come: 300,000 euros per season and an organization automotive.
{That a} single Spanish referee to the Membership World Cup has not been a reprimand. Quite the opposite: upward wage
And there’ll nonetheless be those that say, that there’s, that the fault is of Actual Madrid and its company tv to level it out.
It’s essential to have a tougher face than the VAR plexiglass to approve this wage improve with out having cleaned the arbitration sterus. As a result of if one thing is evident is that the issue was by no means simply Rubiales, not simply Negreira, not simply Medina Cantalejo. The issue is systemic, structural, transverse and, above all, consented.
Actual Madrid, who remains to be ready for justice because the one who expects a hug from Laporta, has carried out nothing apart from demand transparency. And what has you acquired in return? Silence, contempt and now this: an overpass arbitral elite, overprotected and overact, as if we have been within the Goya awards and every card was an ovation.
The wage rises in full disaster of legitimacy. It’s as if a thief complains that his loot doesn’t deliver new tickets. There may be not one in every of these referees that has given a press convention, which has defined its choices, which has supplied to be evaluated by an impartial physique. Right here, the referee neither is touched or questioned: he’s revealed, he’s enriched and carpet even within the costume tunnel. That is how we’re doing.
Whereas in different international locations the referees cross bodily proof of the true ones, they’re recycled, they clarify their errors and are audited, right here we’ve a technical committee directed by Fernández Borbalán, probably the most blatantly favorable referees to Barcelona which are remembered. And we bear in mind it as a result of we’ve reminiscence and we’ve not forgotten that penalty of Mascherano to Lucas Vázquez, nor of these classics the place the Barça kicks have been invisible, nor of the complicit hugs within the costume tunnel. Borbalán, sure. The identical that now sends, evaluates and promotes.
And what did Louzán say about all this? Nothing. Smile, shut up and signal wage will increase. The Spanish referee is already formally the neymar of the whistle: it costs loads, it falls as quickly as they contact and fake so long as it might.
There isn’t any intention of regeneration, there is no such thing as a willingness to purify, there’s solely continuity, cowl -up and financial armor. That no one is fooled: the Spanish arbitration construction remains to be kidnapped by the shadow of Negreira, and now with productiveness plus.
However that no one complains after Actual Madrid and his passion mistrust, or that he calls for overseas referees in key matches, or that Florentino desires to get out of this league of stuffed in love. The unusual factor could be the alternative. As a result of when you’ve got a corrupt system, and as an alternative of purging it you subsidize it, it’s regular so that you can take you for a idiot. And that isn’t: from Gilipollas we already had sufficient with those that applauded Rubiales.
To all this, the homeland, nation and seaside press….
They take us for fools. However we aren’t. We’re Madrid and we do not neglect. I say goodbye with the phrase of my buddy Javi, who’s already in an operative chapel … being from Actual Madrid is the perfect factor that an individual might be on this life … Hala Madrid!
