Referee speaks about the final game: "It's very difficult when your child is told at school that his father is a thief and he comes home crying because of it"

Before the final game between "Real Madrid" and "Barcelona" in the Spanish King's Cup, not only the head coaches of the teams, but also the referees held a press conference.

Idman.biz reports that the referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea, who will manage the final, could not hold back his tears after one of the questions.

The referee was comforted by his colleague, who was appointed as the VAR assistant for the final.

The referee gave such an emotional reaction to the journalist's question about children wanting to become football referees after the club television of "Real Madrid" severely criticized Bengoetxea: "It is a very difficult scene when your child is told at school that his father is a thief and he comes home crying. The only thing I can do is try to raise my son in such a way that he knows that even if his father makes mistakes like every athlete, he is actually an honest person.

It's very difficult, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. On the day I end my career, I want my son to be proud of me and the refereeing that instilled values ​​in us.

It is the injustice that many of my colleagues are experiencing now. This applies not only to professional football, but also to children's and youth football. Everyone should think about what direction we want to go, what we want from sports, from football."

It should be noted that the "Barcelona" - "Real Madrid" final, which will be held at the "La Cartuja" stadium in Seville, will start tonight at 00:00 Baku time.
