“Our Vice President Henriques Negreira called me…” | Relief
Real Madrid television has already published a video against Sanchez Martinez.this time with a different final nuance for the referee, who had already been criticized by the club’s channel in the run-up to other fights. The club, through its official media, included a video clip in which The referee for next Saturday’s classic against Barcelona talks about how Henriques Negreira told him of his promotion. A video that has been in the public domain for a long time and can be seen on the official channels of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, but used with a message.
The club’s channel has already torched the game since its preview, seemingly not saying that Sánchez Martínez was part of Henriques Negreira’s team in alleged crimes attributed to him, after receiving million-dollar payments from Barcelona for years. He was already heavily criticized by Real Madrid television after the Madrid derby last season. Then they came and said: “Will he be able to sleep tonight? Madrid remains the leader despite the arbitration. They were deprived of two points for not giving three penalties.“.
On this occasion, they added information about the “Negreira case”, although before, as always, they addressed some controversial actions in which, in their opinion, Sánchez Martínez failed and harmed Real Madrid. He also looks at the stats the team has on refereeing. They manage to win only 61% of matches, and in 39% they have to settle for a draw or loss.. Quite a low figure for a club of this size, although the referee’s experience allows him to preside over games of great importance.
They also want to review Barcelona’s winning percentage under Sánchez Martinez, which is significantly higher in this case: 76% wins compared to 24% failures. They then move on to look at dozens of plays, such as Saul’s potential penalty against Lucas Vazquez or Savic’s penalty against Bellingham in the last Madrid derby in February. In his opinion, Marcos Llorente takes another penalty a few minutes later against Bellingham: “Again, this is very clear. Everything is right for the referee“.
He is also accused of threatening Vinicius: “I will drive you out.” At the same time, we are talking about several entries about the Brazilians during Real Madrid’s visit to Mallorca. Or Albiol’s elbow to Vinicius, which the referee allowed with a warning to the Villarreal central defender: “Raul, you played too hard.” The debate continues: Militao’s penalty in the Copa del Rey, Betis’ handball, the maximum penalty from Semedo to Vinicius himself in the next Clasico…
Real Madrid television closes: “José María Sánchez Martínez will referee Real Madrid-Barcelona, a referee known to everyone“. Then they project a fragment of the federation video from nine years ago: “I received a call from our committee vice president, Henriques Negreira, and my promotion became official.“. Video with a message with which the club sets fire to the Classic, which is still many hours away.
