ANDm causa is the position of the leader, who accuses the Real of criticizing arbitration to “mask” the difficulties in the field, especially after the Madrid derby, in which Atlético won (2-1) the Real, trained by José Mourinho, who made harsh criticism of the non-international referee Órtiz Arias.
Thebes decided to turn to social network X to attack the ‘merengs’, giving the idea that they live “in another galaxy”.
“To maintain that arbitration acts against Real Madrid is to live in another galaxy. This narrative serves as an alibi to mask other flaws visible to the naked eye right in these early games of the season. It is more comfortable to point out a conspiracy than to explain what happens in the field”, one can read in the publication of the president of La Liga, on that social network.
Considering the “declaration particularly serious, incomprehensible and incompatible with the conduct of a responsible manager”, the club in which Luso Bernardo Silva operates states that Thebes “uses its institutional position to continue defaming and attacking” the “blanks”.
“[The statement] was made by commenting on an article by an independent journalist in a digital publication. In addition, it reacts against our club coming to the point of evaluating our sports strategy, which is completely absurd and irresponsible”, wrote the Real, in a statement.
The emblem trained by ‘Mou’, which is six points away from the leader FC Barcelona, considers that Thebes must “use the position to build trust in the institutions responsible for ensuring the impartiality of the competition”, rather than “damaging the image of the Spanish league and football worldwide”.
“ In view of this inadequate and prolonged behavior, we believe that professional football in Spain urgently needs a leader capable of managing and developing its full potential, maintaining the fundamental principle of neutrality ", justified.
The club also considered that Spanish football “needs someone who understands the nature of its role, because the president of La Liga is not the owner of the competition, but a manager at the service of the clubs that compose it and to whom they entrust their direction. Clubs need someone to fulfill this mission with integrity.”.
