Barcelona head, Flick Slams, Real Madrid conduct toward the final referee of the King Cup

Barcelona’s main coach, Hansi Flick, has faced the Real Madrid’s public campaign, directing the party officials, calling his disrespectful and harmful actions in the accumulation in the final of the King Cup.

Real Madrid’s last criticism of the Spanish referees increased this week, pressing intense pressure on the official team assigned to the final in Seville.

According to reports, the decline affected both the referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea and the one in Var Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes so deeply that he declined to the tears before the game.

The two officials held an unusual press conference before the final, during which Gonzalez Fuertes addressed the personal toll of hostility. The content published by Real Madrid TV, which usually says the arbitration errors ahead of the club’s matches, has meant that the bullying of the children of the two officers.

Real Madrid sought to change the referee team, but this application was denied by the Spanish Football Federation.

Flick was asked about the situation during the pre-party media tasks, saying, “What do I have to say now …? For me, it’s just sport, just a game, it’s just football.

“It’s our responsibility to protect players, protect everyone around the game. It’s not good. Of course, maybe there is excitement on the pitch, but after the game it has to be done.

“The fans, everyone wants to see the players. Of course we need the referees, but we have to take care of it. It’s not a fair and non -respectful game. All clubs, coaches, but also players. This is what we have to do.”

Although critical of recent developments, Flick acknowledged in a separate comment that Real Madrid is still a team and a top -notch institution. His statements appeared more as a call for action for the wider football community than a direct attack.

The Ombudsman and the Vice-Capità Ronald Araujo also weighed during the availability of the team’s media. When asked about the controversy, he added: “They told me you could ask about the referees.

“The truth is that I have not seen the pictures. Being a referee is a very difficult profession. We must respect and understand what they do and I cannot give any other comment.”
