The retired Spanish footballer was disappointed with the level of officiating in Madrid’s last two league matches and did not shy away from voicing his opinions.
Los Blancos’ last two La Liga outings have been marred by poor officiating. The Spanish giants were let down by the officials in their match against Malaga at the Bernabeu, with two clear cut penalties waved off.
However, the heat on the referees was fuelled in Madrid’s latest match against struggling Villarreal at El Madrigal. The match ended at 1-1 with as many as five sporting members of the first team squad getting sanctioned for one or two matches.
Jose Mourinho, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 and fitness coach, Rui Faria, earned two match bans after their behaviour with the match official.
Reflecting on the situation, Real Madrid director, Miguel Pardeza, expressed his disappointment with the poor officiating in their matches and believes these circumstances need to be addressed.
Pardeza remarked that there is an obvious difference in the sentiments shown towards Madrid and other teams, asking for much fairer treatment just like the rest.
"We just want to play under the same conditions as any other team. All we are asking for is to be treated like the rest."
Commenting on the reaction of players and other sporting members, Pardeza stated that players reacted in such an explosive manner because they could not come to terms with the decisions of the match officials.
"We share the team's outrage and perplexity with what's happened. We understand that some players were unable to suppress their astonishment and frustration.”
"This was a refereeing performance that we have yet to see for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. We are concerned about the apparent unequal treatment," Pardeza was quoted by Madrid-based Spanish sports daily, Marca.
Real Madrid welcome Real Sociedad to the Bernabeu for their next La Liga fixture and will hope that they can stop their free fall against the relegation candidates.
The capital club refused to entertain media representatives ahead of the match, with Jose Mourinho and Aitor Karanka putting a media block-out in place.
