On December 7, during a La Liga match against Betis, Hansi Flick received a red card after protesting against a refereeing decision. A choice that caused talk among the Catalans. They had tried to appeal the sanction, since the German was banned from the bench to face Leganés and Atlético de Madrid, without success. During a weekly seminar of the Technical Committee of Referees, Luis Medina Cantalejo, president of the committee, admitted an error concerning the card inflicted on the Blaugrana coach.
In an audio revealed by Jijantes and relayed by Mundo Deportivo, we can hear Medina Cantalejo admitting that the expulsion of Hansi Flick was particularly harsh: “ And this week, I have to say, we saw the expulsion of a coach… God help him! We put up with complaints, gestures, protests of all kinds all season long… Ten meters from the technical area. Gestures with the arms, throwing bottles, everything… and we take it. And now it turns out he didn’t do anything, despite everything I’ve seen… You also need a little flexibility when these things happen. » The president of the committee also recalled that referees had a protocol to warn coaches in the event of a protest during matches.
