by Mateu Lahozformer First Division referee in Spain and international in UEFA and FIFA competitions, has reacted to the news that was known this Wednesday. The Administrative Litigation Court number 4 of Madrid has upheld Sergio Canales’ appeal against the four-match ban that he received last season, when he played for Betis, for saying that his expulsion against Cádiz in the League it was premeditated by the Valencian referee.
“I have a very clear conscience, they are two protests that made no sense,” says the Valencian referee in statements where he again reviewed what happened that day and in which Mateu insists that there was reason to show him the yellow and subsequent red.
Despite everything, the former referee who currently works as an analyst on ‘Movistar+’ broadcasts said that he is satisfied because the world of arbitration is evolving, although in this case he does not share the decision made. “I’m glad they were able to access the audios and resolve the situation”.
Jan felt this, Mateu Lahoz insisted thate “it is good that you can listen to the referees and that there is more transparency”.
