Even Modric’s words “It will be worse” did not bother Busquets Ferrer in the referee’s calculation | Relief
RFEF this Monday, less than 24 hours after the Civitas Metropolitano derby, reported how referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer treated the match. Also, logically, throwing objects at Thibaut Courtois led to a temporary disqualification for a quarter of an hour. Balearic judge followed the protocol exactly noted when situations like this happen, as he explained to several main characters on the field, including Luca ModricDespite Horvath doubted his decision: “It will be worse.”.
It was not an easy match for the referee, who made his debut in Atlético Madrid matches and who had just presided over the second match against Real Madrid, the first of real significance for the white team. The technical committee of judges gave him confidence, and Busquets Ferrer coped with the task brilliantly. not only in purely game-related aspects, but he had the courage to strictly enforce established protocol in the event of objects being thrown from the stands onto the grass.
“Please use the speakerphone to stop throwing objects.“, first comments referee Pedro Pablo Matesanza, Atlético Madrid delegate. The match is subsequently restarted with a central strike from the red and white as a result of Militao’s goal, although shortly afterwards he is interrupted again for repeatedly throwing objects at Courtois.”Next time I’ll put the command inside.“he says to the Atlético spokesman, who immediately afterwards again calls for calm through the stadium’s public address system.
“Can’t you play? Okay, let’s go inside.”
However, approaching Courtois again, the former colchonero tells him: “I can’t play like that.” “You can’t play? Okay, let’s get started,” says Busquets Ferrer, who first comments on Simeone’s situation. “Diego, let’s stop the game ten minutes to start. Let’s all get in and then get out, okay?” The coach applauds the referee’s position while his assistants explain to several players what he has decided.”This is protocol, Modric.“, is heard in audio recordings released by RFEF. “We’ll be there in ten minutes, Carlo. Let’s see if this problem can be solved,” he tells Ancelotti.
WITH amazing tranquility The referee with little experience in conducting matches of this level is Busquets Ferrer. explaining calmly and completely convinced of his decision to everyone who asks him. “Ten minutes, Dani, I’m following protocol.“, he says to Carvajal. Militau’s answer, more persistent in his protests, is: “The coach explains it to you, I explained it to the coach.” Modric, however, believes that “it would be worse” to leave the field, but Busquets Ferrer did not flinch from comments from the Madrid captain: “We’ll see.” The facts proved the arbitrator right. After a quarter of an hour in the dressing room, the match could be resumed without a repetition of incidents of the same nature in the remaining half hour.
Exile of Llorente
May be, single blur Busquets Ferrer’s match was incorrect assessment of Marcos Llorente’s actions towards Fran Garcia on live television like straight red. “For me it’s red. Yes, you need to call,” says Javier Iglesias Villanueva from the VOR room in Ciudad del Futbol. Busquets Ferrer justified his decision as follows: “There is a kick, heels, up… I’ll change my mind.. Red instead of yellow for serious rough play.” The Atlético player did not even protest. Busquets Ferrer even described Llorente himself in detail in a calm tone: “very clearly, very highly.”
Because in what could be called another refereeing failure at the Metropolitano, Correa’s goal was initially ruled invalid for offside. The repetitions left no doubt: the Argentine qualified. During the review of the action, the Spaniard was surrounded (in a good way) by some players. both teams, talking to them and not even hiding anything. “They check the application, there is no offside.“, he openly tells Koke at a demonstration that the players are already familiar with the language of refereeing (APP – Attacking Possession Phase; that is, the attacking phase of a team with possession of the ball). VAR confirmed that there were no violations in the game. The attack of the red and white, so that the final score of 1:1 was recorded on the scoreboard, and thus the match virtually ended Busquets Ferrer as one of the referees with the greatest future in national refereeing.
