The referee in the center of the Red Card of Jude Bellingham has shared how his family has been attacked with threats and 'attacks' and emphasized that football is 'out of control' and 'promoting violence' in a program Spanish television.
Juan Luis Munuera Montero gave the English international a straight red card during Real Madrid's clash with Osasuna on Saturday, after believing that Bellingham had told him: 'F *** You'.
Bellingham has argued that he had said 'fuck' with frustration for his own actions, but his supplications of staying in the field fell on deaf ears, and the 21 -year -old could face a significant prohibition for his use of disgusting and abusive language.
Following the swirling controversy, it is believed that Real Madrid even considered leaving LaLiga, since they feel that Bellingham sending was only the large number of decisions to go against them.
In addition to the noise, Munuera Montero is under investigation by the Compliance Committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for an unrelated incident focused on its 'extra sports activities'.
The official is the owner of a sports consulting agency, Talentus Sports, whose alleged customers include UEFA, LaLiga and several other football clubs, such as Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City.

But Munuera Montero was anxious to emphasize that she had been “never, never” paid by a football entity and is prepared to defend against the handle in an appearance in The great game Tuesday night.
The official added that the referees were constantly under threat, stating: 'Today was my turn, but how long has these attacks been suffering?
'They are vilifying my nephews, they are attacking my nine brothers, my 80 -year -old father went to Mass today and … I better stay silent.
'What are we creating? How can we show in a newspaper the barbarities we are saying? Are we crazy? Are we controlling violence or promotion? This is getting out of control. What sport are we creating with football?
'Before another hundred thousand threats or insults of death were sent to me, I silenced my LinkedIn account so that the same would not happen again. I am not afraid, it is because of my protection and that of my family. They are in a bad way, very worried.
'They have not asked me to stop because they know it is impossible. My parents do not deserve this.
Munuera Montero was anxious not to look back in the controversy of Real Madrid, and added that “he had not thought about what happened on Saturday.”
He added: 'People shouldn't believe everything they read. We have to try to help. I issued the statement because I couldn't take it anymore. You are walking down the street … But where are we going with this?
'We are professionals who have families, who want the best for football and do not want to make mistakes. While Munuera Montero is in the field or in the VAR, he will continue to make mistakes.

'If people thought that with the VAR the errors would end, they were wrong. While we are people, we will continue making mistakes, we are clear. We did not put the VAR instead, the teams did.
The referee also argued that his company was established in an attempt to “transmit arbitration values to young people.”
“Since I have been doing it for a long time, I thought about starting a company,” Munuera Montero continued. 'I have been doing it for a year, and I and other athletes give talks with companies of all kinds.
'As an additional service, and creates a database with the work offers generated by sport, basketball, tennis, football … so that young people who have made a postgraduate degree in sport have a place of reference to be able to see these job offers. Full stop. There is nothing else.
Munuera Montero explained that she would not arbitrate in LaLiga this weekend because there were “twenty referees and ten games” and added that he had been anxious to separate “until this is clarified.”
