It happened on El Desmarque Madrugada. There, Estrada Fernández, a former international referee and now a VAR referee, presented a controversial theory.
The action of Vinícius on Valencia's goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski and the subsequent two-match ban was being debated. For some, it is excessive. For others, too lenient.
In Barcelona, they've replied mentioning the two-matche ban Flick had received for raising an arm. Then there is the three games for Lewandowski for touching his nose.
Orders to Draft the Report in Real Madrid's Favor
Estrada Fernández has raised the tone, increasing the level of suspicion about Soto Grado, the referee of the Valencia-Real Madrid match.
Estrada Fernández hinted that Soto Grado might have received direct orders. Instructions to draft the report kindly for Vinícius and Real Madrid.
The former referee expressed himself as follows: "For me, the sanction on Vinícius isn't fair at all. In fact. César Soto and Alejandro Muñiz, during the review that was done on the field, both state that the ball is stopped."
"With the Ball Stopped, It Becomes an Aggression"
From there, he considers that the action "goes from being violent conduct to being considered an aggression."
He added: "That would lead us to go from two matches to a minimum sanction of four matches up to twelve."
Estrada denounces Soto Grado's behavior: "In the drafting of the report, they omit this fact and commit negligence. The reality that we all could see from home is being manipulated."
The seriousness of Estrada Fernández's words comes when he offers his views on the content of the report's drafting.
"They Told Him What He Had to Write in the Report"
"At the end of the match, the referee receives via WhatsApp the video clip of the play in question. It was done so that, calmly from the locker room, he can do the drafting."
The climax: "A drafting in which he fails and that only happens if they told him what he had to write in the report, and I'll leave it at that."
From all this, it can be inferred that, according to Estrada Fernández, the competition might have been tampered with by Soto Grado's report drafting.
