“I say it alongside the president of the Federation, the VAR is doing the referees wrong”

The president of Atlético de Madrid offered his particular ‘show’ in the canutazo before the media prior to the directors’ dinner at the Copa del Rey, accompanied by Rafael Louzan, president of the RFEF: “Tomorrow we celebrate the great night of Spanish cinema… no, of Spanish football. May the best win, the one with the luckiest… or whoever the Federation decides. Heat? I come from the bulls, so tell it to me. May Real win the Cup and we win the Champions League? Well, let’s study that. Doublet? I like that better… say it again.”

Between jokes, Cerezo adopted a more serious tone to acknowledge that he does not see Atlético as a favorite: “In football there are no favorites and the games are always 50/50 and you are already seeing it, they thought we were dead not long ago and we are in the Cup final and in the Champions League semi-finals. The red and white ‘presi’ assured that the Cup is very exciting for the club after 13 years without reaching a final, he valued Griezmann’s farewell with the possibility of leaving celebrating titles and left a ‘message’ of his own when asked about the referees: “I say it here with the president of the Federation by my side, the VAR is doing the referees wrong.”
