Real Madrid’s arguments in their new video against the referees
“After nine months of silence, I feel like talking because you have nothing to hide and I prefer to speak naturally,” said Hernández Hernández, one of the referees most criticized by Madrid fans, with Juanma Castaño.
The Canarian referee acknowledged that “I have been super burned out for nine months, really wanting to talk. We don’t have to be the protagonists of this story.”
“Our only intention is to whistle well. If during the week we turn the referee into a demon…”, said the Canarian referee, who In June 2023 he was promoted to UEFA Elitethe highest European category.
Hernández Hernández gives his opinion on the criticism from Real Madrid Television: “They have said atrocious things to me and it always makes me slip”
“In the end it gets to you. I’ve been refereeing for 30 years and it doesn’t affect us. It’s not the perfect scenario to referee, because of the tension that is generated. This affects grassroots football because it puts the image of the referee as an enemy. I’ve been told atrocious things and it always slips on me.”
Referee Hernández Hernández in El Partidazo de COPE: “The Negreira Case destroys the idea that we were a clean group”
Hernández Hernández: “I don’t notice tension among the Real Madrid players”
“Do I like refereeing Real Madrid? I approach it with the same naturalness as the rest, hoping that there are no gray plays, for which you are always sold. Wishing it to be clean”
“I don’t notice tension among the Madrid players. The breeding ground is more media than with the players. It is normal that, at a moment, the player sees me with different eyes, which is why I have become intoxicated.”
“For me, Real Madrid is its players, its staff, its president, who greeted me with a smile… It is not impossible that they give me a Real Madrid – Barcelona match, I would love to whistle for the second round.”
“I don’t think my bosses are afraid of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. I would love to whistle the Clásico again.”
Hernández Hernández on the alleged suspicions about his arbitrations against Barça: “They never told me anything about favoring Barcelona”
“I whistled at the reserve team 7 times and they lost 5. When they give me the international medal they give me Barcelona and they lose, then they draw. Of the first 5, they only win 2, in the era of the best Barcelona, when they were a steamroller. Real “Madrid wins 10 of the first 12. If the objective was to favor Barcelona, the statistics do not add up.”
“They never told me anything about favoring Barcelona. If it happened to me, I would have reported it. I understand that from the outside what happened sounds terrible and from the inside it is very difficult to explain how it could have happened. If it is illegal, let them pay for it “.
Hernández Hernández’s opinion on the ‘Negreira Case’: “It is the most damaging thing in all of history for referees”
“February 15. It changed all of our lives. The damage it has created is irreparable, the most damaging in all of history for referees. When we found out, I thought it was ‘fake news’; I thought it was manipulated until that you see that it is a reality. Then you have to digest it, accept that a member of your organization had a financial agreement with a club and that is out of place, it is a conflict of interest, even if it is legal. That destroys the idea that “We were an independent, objective, clean group… and I continue to brag about being a group, but we cannot boast when someone from the house has worked with a club and has financial interests with this club.”
Hernández Hernández on the ‘Negreira case’: “It is the most damaging thing in the history of arbitration”
“From within, we have a super calm conscience and we have zero legal concerns; nothing is going to happen, we are super calm.”
“My relationship with José María Enríquez Negreira? He called those promoted and relegated. From there you coincided in the four calls of the referees and you met with him in a minute when they told you where you were classified. You signed the paper and that “It was the whole relationship.”
Hernández Hernández on his “complex” decision in Celta vs Sevilla: “The most correct decision was chosen”
“You think about VAR errors. I have had an intervention in this League, that of Celta – Sevilla. It is a complex play. The VAR is there to solve and the most correct decision was chosen. We have removed a penalty that is not a penalty. In another match would not have made any noise. I spoke to a Celta player and explained the arguments to him, he told me his situation… I went to that match as if it were a Clásico or a Seville derby. I think we acted correctly.”
Hernández Hernández in El Partidazo: “We have to sleep with the key locked to give directions”
“I’m ashamed to talk about what I have and what it has cost me, but when you cross that red line… I can ask as an affected person, ask who has asked about my assets, and I know it, but for a judicial matter I don’t know.” “I’m going to say. Now we have to sleep with the key locked to give directions.”
