In recent weeks, Real Madrid has consistently voiced concerns about the quality of refereeing in La Liga. However, Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick does not see it as a major issue.
Details: The German coach stated that complaining about officiating is not his style, emphasizing that referees are human and prone to mistakes. He also suggested that such complaints could be seen as mere excuses.
Quote: “Honestly, I don’t want to talk about it. That’s their choice, they decided to do it, but it’s not our style. At least, I wouldn’t do it. Every coach has their own reasons for saying certain things. We are all human, and we make mistakes.
That’s part of life. Everyone makes mistakes, and referees have a very difficult job. We need to take care of them because their situation is not easy. I’ve already said everything when I arrived—I said, ‘Okay, no excuses or complaints,’” Flick stated.
Reminder: The Barcelona manager recently reaffirmed that Wojciech Szczęsny will remain the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
