The referee’s performance
"We could save ourselves the press conference. Here they are [shows photos of the possible red cards], two clear reds. It should have been 50 minutes of eleven against nine. All I can do is hug my players, who gave everything, who produced a first half full of class and personality. I prepared yesterday’s game so we could win it in the second half.
The ones who should be happy are the Refereeing Appointments Committee, because everything was very strange. A week beforehand, everyone knew who the referee was, when it used to be 24 hours before. A 41-year-old referee with no international experience — that can’t be top level. The poor guy came here and couldn’t handle the pressure. The kind of pressure here is straight out of the 1980s. Trujillo, the VAR official, called him over for the first red and didn’t call him over for the second, which was even clearer. This Trujillo has a history with Real Madrid — last year in the Copa final, Osasuna, Girona...
If the poor referee, without experience, without the stature to handle a derby, this gentleman either has no pressure at Las Rozas, or a kind of pressure we know nothing about. I’d have liked to leave here with the win or without having to speak. I arrived here three months ago and you know I’m not usually one to go in this direction. Two reds against Elche and we won. Two reds today, and it’s much harder. He’s a referee with very small games under his belt and a VAR official with a history. Congratulations to the Refereeing Appointments Committee."
Huijsen’s sending-off
"I still haven’t seen the replay. It was too far away from me for me to judge it. They tell me in the dressing room that the foul starts outside the box. If it was outside, then it was a red and a free-kick. If it’s inside and there’s an attempt to pull the shirt, then it’s a sending-off. But all of this was in the second half, which should have been eleven against nine."
Real Madrid’s start to the season
"Obviously, we’d like to be top. To have more points than we do. Under normal circumstances, we’re talking about the end of September, it’s early. I didn’t want to get into this any more, but the things we’ve seen in recent weeks — in this stadium, the goal disallowed against Osasuna was laughable, the penalty against Real Sociedad was laughable... I was expecting a different league from the one I left, I can see now it isn’t, and they’ve explained to me why it isn’t, but we’ll keep fighting..."
