Medina Cantalejo guarantees more 'transparency' with this measure
From here that all the audios and images will be shared when concluding each one of the three meetings of the Supercopa. The first proof will be this Wednesday in the semifinal that will star Real and Athletic of Madrid. Javier Alberola Rojas, judge of the last derbi Madrilenian contested by League, will repeat like main, whereas in the VAR will be Prieto Churches, a decision that did not take in producing complaints by part of the 'White House'.
In this regard, Medina Cantalejo ensured that the publication of the audios of the VAR is an initiative "in favour of a greater transparency and so that it know the professionalism of the referees". Of the same way, the RFEF pretends to show that "it does not hide at all". "Andto you will see that many times it is until boring", added the ex Spanish referee.
