It is a serious accusation that begins to make a big spain in Spain. Real Madrid, an unbeaten Liga leader, would have found a combination to promote its results at home. A maneuver which, according to some observers, would brush cheating by creating game conditions bordering on the bearable for visiting teams. The new Bernabéu, jewelry of technology, would have become a weapon of massive manipulation.
The Bernabéu transformed into “sauna”
So what is it? Has Real Madrid finds a way to influence arbitration or Var? No way. The manipulation would be much more … climatic. According to part of the Spanish press, the club would use its new retractable roof to create a real “Greenhouse effect” in the stadium. Closed roof, the Bernabéu would turn into “sauna”, with stifling heat and humidity.
In the last match against Espanyol, commentator Manolo Loma was the first to sound the alarm. Journalist Miguel Ruiz pushed the nail:
“It is very hot at Santiago Bernabéu. In the 10th minute of the second half, the whole team (from Real) went on the bench to drink and hydrate. A scene that suggests that the Madrid players, warned, are better prepared to endure these extreme conditions than their opponents.
The new controversy that shakes Real Madrid: the roof of discord
A “boost” that makes people talk
Officially, the roof is closed to
“Create a better atmosphere”.
Unofficially, many see it as a way of “Take advantage” And to tire visitors more quickly. There is no smoke without fire, especially when smoke comes from a sauna … This controversy, even if it is based on hypotheses, throws trouble.
This idea that Real Madrid would benefit from a small “boost” at home will probably not surprise OM supporters, who paid the price for the Bernabéu law last week in the Champions League. The Madrid club may not need that to win, but this roof story adds a new line to the legend, sometimes sulfurous, of its breathtaking fortress.
