Raul Varela: Alejandro Hernandez should ask not to be given Real Madrid matches from now on Real Madrid Controversial figure at Bernabeu

We must be doing something wrong when two names like Sergio Ramos and Sergio Busquets, names of responsibility at Real Madrid, Barcelona and the national team, declare that they feel like referees are acting in a premeditated way.

Without delving into semantic questions about perversion of justice, sometimes the least important thing is to say things because the gravity lies precisely in these main actors of football, with their bottoms bare from playing games and who are involved in all types of situations.

I haven't asked any other captain in our league even though I imagine their incredulity: "if they complain, imagine if we do..."

The particular stories of certain referees with certain clubs or players start to become dangerously ingrained. We don't have proof nor desire that there is any basis for questioning the integrity of a group, the referee, who have the worst credit in memory despite having the best preparation in history.

Alejandro Hernandez is a just referee. I don't know if he's getting bigger games that he was assigned historically. I don't know if his condition as a Canary Island-native has served as a catapult towards an internationality that, when he has Real Madrid in his midst, he doesn't justify.

His poetic face telling Sergio Ramos: "absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing " when the defender accused him of having a personal problem reflects almost everything.

He doesn't have it easy. Given that the times of recusals stay behind despite that in other sports like tennis, where there is less controversy and more respect towards the officials, this veto exists, Hernandez Hernandez should, to save his image, credibility and honesty, ask not to be given Real Madrid matches in the future.

This would achieve two things. The first and most important is not to overindulge on statistics that leave you as the real bete noire and that are difficult to defend. The second one would serve to leave without the excuse of the complaint for any penalty to justify explainable defeats through the game.
