The Technical Referees Committee has issued a statement in which it denies any current promotion system relationship in arbitration with the relationships that the members could have with the son of Negreira, Javier Enriquez. They point out that the statements made by Mateu Lahoz are “false”, show their “more absolute repulsion” and, in addition, they encourage him to “go as soon as possible to justice” if “knows anything” that the arbitration organism does not know.
Mateu Lahoz made statements in which he questioned the cleanliness of arbitration in Europe since the arrival of Velasco Carballo, who was president of the CTA after the departure of Sánchez Arminio and Enriquez Negreira. He related the payments of Alberola Rojas to Javier Enríquez –relevados in her day by Okdiario-with the international success of the Castilian-Manchego referee. Something that they have now wanted to deny from the agency directed by Medina Cantalejo.
In a hard statement against the former referee, who was retired in advance in 2023, they describe Mateu’s words as “dishonest and malicious” and accuse him of “try to generate hatred and discredit to what was his collective.” In addition, they remember that Mateu Lahoz had a successful international career until his retirement, hence his surprise for the statements now made.
CTA statement against Mateu Lahoz
In relation to the statements made by Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz on March 16 in which false accusations about referees, Technical Committee of Referees of the RFEF and UEFA: UEFA:
The First Division referees and the Technical Committee of Referees want to show their most absolute repulsion before those words of the former Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz, in which he links the sports achievements of our referees to extra -sports aspects and that are judicialized at this time.
It should be remembered that said ex -olegued exercised his entire career at the time he refers, obtaining results to all known. For this reason, we invite you to, if you know something that we do not know, go as soon as possible to justice to transfer all that information and clarify as soon as possible the doubts that pours on our group instead of feeding them through their public and malicious public interventions.
It is a pity to see how someone with whom we share costumes for so many years tries to generate hatred and discredit to what was his collective.
