Part of the Real Madrid dressing room in the background of Real Madrid television videos – El Partidazo de COPE
As reported by Miguel Angel Diaz in the newspaper El Partidazo COPE, part of the Madrid dressing room does not agree with the club’s idea to film videos on Real Madrid TV criticizing the referees before the games. There is an internal debate in this dressing room because there is a sector that believes that broadcasting preventive videos against referees does more harm than good, although they respect the club’s decision.
Videos produced by Real Madrid TV before the team’s league matches have come under the spotlight in recent months due to controversy over the criticism they convey. The club’s official media publishes videos every week of mistakes made by the referee appointed to preside over the match of the day.

This time it was the turn of Diaz de Mer and Gonzalez Fuertes. In a letter to the RFEF competition committee, Sevilla condemned the “campaign of harassment and persecution” against the two referees.

I have “I have no idea if what Real Madrid TV says can be extrapolated to sanctions.”
Opinion of Luis Medina Cantalejo
He President of the Technical Committee of Judges Luis Medina Cantalejo, asked Juanma Castaño about the topic of the controversial Real Madrid videos on television.. The director of El Partidazo de COPE asked him if he had seen the video and the CTA president replied that “I am not interested. Let everyone do what they think is necessary, but to put such pressure on them… The judges don’t see this, and neither do I, for the sake of personal health. These are opinions, but when they remove the First Division referee and you host Castilla games…“Also, he wanted to know if I had spoken to Florentino Perez to tell him how negative they were: “No, no, each of us must be in his place, and I come to work with the judges. There are no problems with the president of Real Madrid. I’m talking to Roberto Carlos, Solari… but every president should be on your site“.
