The atmosphere that surrounds Spanish arbitration is heated over the days. The wick was caught by Mateu Lahoz when he dropped that the arbitrators’ promotions were related to the ‘Negreira case’. The statement of the Technical Referee Committee (CTA) raised its temperature and again the aforementioned former collegiate has verbalizes his opinion about it.
«I have no certainties, but I know that everyone is blind that in Catalonia this man had influence. In my case the only thing that has caused Negreira is a dinner. This does not have to get out of context. It is impossible for the referees with whom I have had a relationship have made any decision benefiting a team. Impossible. I have always said it. My feeling is that they have very good referees in Spain that do not whistle what they deserve in UEFA. It is my feeling. Turpin, Taylor, Oliver, Marciniak … are very represented in their country. In Spain it is not so ».
«I had dinner alone. There is no referee in Spain that can say why it goes up or down. I decided that I didn’t want to continue in the VAR. I do not like how the var is used. I say it since 2018 and from the argument. My statements on the other day did not attacked any referee, I don’t know why they got nervous. That the Negreira case is purge and everything comes out in light, because Spanish arbitration is harmed ».
