What did the referee of the Clasico say about Real Madrid Channel's attack on the referees?

Before his management of the anticipated Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona on Sunday, May 11, Spanish referee Hernández Hernández spoke about the videos circulated on the Real Madrid Channel. Hernández Hernández clarified how he deals with such clips and the criticisms that follow him, pointing out his clear stance towards those videos.

He said about how these videos affect him: "Yes, I have seen some of them, in the end, no matter how much you try to stay away from these matters, they eventually reach you."

He continued: "It is natural for us to face these criticisms, but after years of officiating, we have become accustomed to bearing this pressure, and what is said in these videos does not have a significant impact on us."

Hernández also affirmed that these videos could contribute to creating unhealthy tension around the matches, which can affect the atmosphere in general.

He added: "I don't think this atmosphere is the best for officiating in matches; the crisis lies in the media and social media, where some escalate issues and create a negative environment that affects everyone."

He pointed out that such media pressures do not affect him personally or his fellow referees, as he confirmed: "Many negative things have been said about me, but they did not affect me because I know they are part of my profession. When I officiate a Real Madrid match, I do it in the same natural way as I do with any other match. I hope the match goes smoothly, without any ambiguous refereeing situations."

He also spoke about the tense atmosphere with players, explaining that he does not feel tension from Real Madrid players: "The tension does not come from the players, but from the media and the content being published. It is natural for players to look at me differently at certain moments because of what is broadcasted."

At the end of his talk, he expressed his satisfaction with having a good relationship with Real Madrid: "For me, Real Madrid is its team, its players, and its coaching staff, and its president who has always welcomed me with a smile. I don't think there is any fear of Real Madrid or Barcelona in my workplace."
