Two days before the Madrid derby between Real and Atlético, Antoine Griezmann defended the referees and claimed that the pressures they are the subject of.

It is a derby that promises to be boiling. Saturday evening (9 p.m.), Real Madrid welcomes its neighbor and Dauphin, Atlético Madrid, on behalf of the 23e
Liga Day – The two teams are only separated by a small point in the classification. A meeting that has already started out of the field.

After the Merengues defeat against Espanyol Barcelona last weekend (0-1), the White House sent a letter to the Spanish Federation to complain about the arbitration. An arbitration which they accuse of being ” defective “,” corrupt
” And ” fraudulent ». Just that. An approach castigated by the Colchoneros, who responded to their great rival in a humorous tone on social networks.

“You have to leave them quiet, they are tired of enduring us on the ground”

All these pressures on the referees are not to the taste of Antoine Griezmann, who asked that this ceases at the microphone of Movistar. “” You have to stop with these nonsense. It is you, journalists, who will make the most noise or not. If we say nothing and the clubs make statements that no one is talking about, there will not be as much tension around the referees “, Deplored the tricolor world champion.

And to add: ” Now, no matter who is the referee, he will go to any stage with fear of failing, because everyone will look at him. It is not a good thing that the referee comes to a match like this (the Madrid derby) in this way. You have to leave them alone. They are tired of enduring us on the ground. And even more outside. It is everyone's fault, clubs, presidents, journalists … The referees are tired of these nonsense. Remarks that will certainly not prevent Soto Grado, appointed to the whistle of this Madrid derby, from being scrutinized.
