Mateu Lahoz Excites Real Madrid After Barça-rayo: 'his Decision Could...'

Madrid intensifies its demands for changes in refereeing to regain credibility and impartiality in LaLiga

Real Madrid is surrounded by rumors about a change in the presidency of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) and the leadership of VAR. These changes would be related to the situation of Spanish soccer, which remains a concern for the white club.

The future of Mateu Lahoz has been a recurring topic, especially after the Barça-Rayo match. However, it remains to be seen if these rumors will be confirmed.

A Possible Change in the CTA

There are rumors of a replacement in the presidency of the CTA, with the departure of Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez, who are not well-regarded by Real Madrid. In this context, many have placed Mateu Lahoz as one of the favorites to take the position. However, nothing has been officially confirmed, and many see this possibility as an unfounded rumor.

Within the Madrid club, the possibility of Mateu Lahoz taking this position doesn't seem to be rejected. In fact, he is seen as a figure distanced from the scandals of the Negreira era, which generates confidence within the white entity. Lahoz's 'disappearance' from refereeing has raised doubts, as his departure remains unexplained, something the club doesn't understand.

Real Madrid's View on Refereeing

For Real Madrid, any change in the refereeing system that involves replacing figures like Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez is seen as an improvement. The club continues to advocate for a total regeneration of the refereeing collective, which they consider key to recovering the credibility that, according to them, has been lost in recent years. The frustration with refereeing in La Liga is evident, as refereeing decisions have directly influenced the results.

Real Madrid is not oblivious to the situation of Spanish soccer. They believe that referees should be more independent, as in England, where the system is more transparent and autonomous. This is one of the reasons why the club is seeking a radical change in the refereeing structure of the Spanish competition.

The Controversy Over the Negreira Case

Real Madrid is concerned about the Negreira case and Barça's million-euro payments to his company. This scandal remains unsolved, and the white club remains involved in the case, trusting that justice will clarify the facts.

However, the relationship of some referees with this period remains a topic of discussion. For Real Madrid, it is unacceptable that people linked to that era continue working in the CTA.
