Atlético Responds with Irony to Real Madrid's Pressures
Atlético de Madrid has responded ironically to Real Madrid’s statements denouncing alleged refereeing manipulations. Before the derby at the Santiago Bernabéu, the red-and-whites published a tweet questioning their rival’s words, suggesting they might be trying to pressure the referees.
The club, chaired by Enrique Cerezo, expressed its disagreement and concern over what it considers an attempt at intimidation. Through a message on social networks, Atlético ironized about verbs like ’to pressure’, ’to intimidate’, and ’to coerce’, among others, making their stance clear on what could be maneuvers to influence the next match. With this gesture, Atlético seeks to deflect any attempt at pressure and keep the focus on football.
