Los Blancos forward was puzzled by the recent criticism of referees made by the Barcelona pair and slated their rant as ‘against the club’s values’.
Xavi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 were far from happy with the refereee after their goalless draw against Villarreal at El Madrigal and voiced their frustrations in the post-match conference.
Callejon voiced his concern with the 'hypocritical' stance of La Blaugrana and opined that their recent outburst against the referees is against the values of the club.
“I thought Barca didn't talk about referees," the former Espanyol player told Marca. "Something must have changed. I don't know why."
The draw against Villarreal has left http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 trailing Real Madrid by seven points. In his dialogue with reporters, Callejon was optimistic about their chances and reflected that La Liga crown is on its way back to the Spanish capital.
In the 2011/12 campaign, Barcelona have suffered at the hands of injuries and have dropped 13 points in 6 matches.
Callejon’s recent jibe at the Barcelona stars has merited a response from manager Pep Guardiola. He explained that they do not complain about refereeing decisions, but are merely stating what could have happened.
"Barca do not complain about referees," Guardiola remarked. "But a different thing is to say if in this or that situation we could have been awarded a penalty.”
"If that is complaining, then we complain. The only thing I know is that we do not help referees and we do not to them any favours.”
However, Guardiola accepted that he gets annoyed when his side gets hurt by refereeing decisions. He stated that everyone can make a mistake and letting go is the hardest thing to do.
"I get annoyed when referees make mistakes which damage us, but then I think: 'They made a mistake'.
After their league adventures, Barcelona return their focus on Copa del Rey as they take on the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in the two-legged semi-final.
