Following Real Madrid's home victory against Villarreal in La Liga's matchday 8, Roncero analyzed the team's performance and controversial refereeing decisions in his post-match video critique. He questioned the decision to send off Vinicius for pulling Saliba's hair and argued that if you hire Mourinho, you must accept his personality and approach.

Roncero stated: "My God, it's so difficult! Why is it so hard to win a match now? Look at Real Madrid's current state, then look at the referee's decisions, because I have to take them into account. It's true the team made great efforts and their attitude is good, but the play isn't smooth enough. In the first half, we relied on Güler; in the second half, we relied on Valverde. After Valverde moved to the right wing, the team's attack and overall performance improved considerably. The Uruguayan is an absolute machine on that flank.

Diomande finally unlocked things for the team on his first start. You know, it was a bold decision because it meant leaving Vinicius on the bench. And he seized the opportunity, scoring the winning goal—an invaluable goal. Diomande, this young man played so well. First start, first goal, and that goal brought three points. These three points are so precious. That's the situation right now…

However, I'd really like to watch a Real Madrid match where the referee's decisions don't irritate everyone. I know you'll tell me: 'For God's sake, wasn't Mourinho always protesting too?' But there was an example in the first half: someone kicked Güler from behind, right in front of the referee. It was an undeniable foul deserving a card, but he didn't show it. He didn't show it because he didn't want to. I don't know why—whether he doesn't like us or has something against us.

As for Vinicius, you could certainly say: 'Hey, he pulled the opponent's hair, so a red card is appropriate.' But I'm looking now, and they sent me this rule. Law 12: Fouls and Misconduct. How a hair pull should be sanctioned depends on the force and nature of the action. If it's an intentional hair pull, which it was this time, but without excessive force against the opponent, then it should be a yellow card for unsporting conduct.

I noticed, yes, he pulled back a bit, but the opponent continued running. Also, pay attention to something nobody noticed: Saliba didn't protest at all. He didn't protest, made no gesture, and continued running forward. In other words, this action didn't prevent him from running or didn't knock him to the ground. But some people say: 'For God's sake, he pulled his hair, so it's a red card.' No, no, he didn't bring the opponent down.

Let's look at when a red card should be shown. If the pulling action is clearly violent, uses excessive force, or is very rough, then the player should be sent off for violent conduct. Do you really think this hair pull used excessive force or was very rough? Very rough? I'll repeat it: Saliba didn't even protest.

So if you say it was a foul deserving a "yellow card," I could even accept that. But ultimately, it leaves a team with only ten men. Yet just three weeks ago, someone kicked you on the side, a kick that could have ruined your leg, and VAR didn't intervene. And Cristian Romero's foul on Bellingham, studs at knee height, and VAR didn't intervene either… Some kicks could even send you to the hospital, VAR doesn't intervene, but they intervene for a hair pull because they think the action was too rough… And then they keep giving cards to Tchouaméni and other Real Madrid players…

That's how it is. I've said it many times: they don't like us. You see, it's like falling in love with a girl and wanting to be with her, but the girl doesn't love you, and she has every right not to love you. So don't bother her. If she says no, it's no, because love must be mutual, it must be reciprocal. If the answer is no, then it's no, and the relationship can't happen.

The referees simply don't like Real Madrid. No, no, they don't like us. This attitude is clear. You see, even at the Bernabéu, with so much crowd pressure, they continue anyway: "Go on, keep going, go, yellow card, red card, go." They get more and more wound up; they love it this way because now they've completely let loose, there's no turning back.

As for whether Mourinho can restrain himself, listen, I was the first to say these things at the start of the season: "I think he's too quiet, too complacent, too calm." If you hire Mourinho, you have to accept the whole package he brings, with its pros and cons, the things you like and the things you don't. But you'll say: "It's Mourinho." And what Mourinho won't do is turn the other cheek after being slapped.

I'm telling you, I could never be Real Madrid's manager. If I'd been at that derby, experienced these things, and was there today, I would've been sent off during the derby and I'd be sent off today too. So I can never be a manager. I also can't be a professional player on the pitch, because if the referee is unfair, I really can't stand it. And for Real Madrid, since the Negreira affair, it's no longer just unfair refereeing; it's always biased in one direction. If there's the slightest doubt, they'll always try to crush Real Madrid. Well, excuse me.

Did you notice that when Diomande scored, he was offside by a hair—clearly not offside—but the linesman raised his flag anyway. Haven't we agreed? Since there's VAR, unless the linesman sees it very clearly, he shouldn't raise his flag, because that's what VAR is for. If it turns out there's an offside, VAR will tell you. But if you're not sure, don't raise the flag. Yet this goal wasn't offside at all; he was in a regular position, offside by a hair. Still, the linesman raised his flag anyway. It looked like he was saying: "No, no, Real Madrid scored, it must be disallowed." Calm down, my friend, there's VAR, relax, don't raise the flag.

Well, I'm telling you, these three points were hard-earned. Real Madrid's spirit is embodied by Jude Bellingham—he's the real leader. Also, Valverde, who wore the captain's armband in the second half and delivered an exceptional performance, and Güler in the first half. Courtois, as always, stopped every ball that came his way. The whole team fought like lions, overcoming all adversities and very difficult situations.

As for Vinicius, the young man just scored a goal, and then… I know, he made a mistake. Vini, don't pull anyone's hair.

By the way, there was a Real Madrid match against Alavés that cost us the championship… Yes, yes, that match cost us the championship, and Atlético Madrid won in the end. That match was played at Valdebebas, and we ultimately lost to Alavés. Laguardia pulled Marcelo's hair like that in the box, which should have been a penalty. But that day, VAR and the referee weren't so meticulous, nor so concerned about hair-pulling. That's the difference between decisions that favor Real Madrid and those that go against us. It's really difficult.

You know what's scary? The Clásico is in two weeks. My God, I really don't know. I think it's best they relax, have two calming herbal teas before the match, because I don't even want to think about what we might face. At Camp Nou, and with the situation as it is now…

Alright. Well, everyone, three solid points—that's great. Well done, Jan, Jan. Diomande. Diomande. Don't confuse the "Jans"—there are several Jans. It's Jan Diomande, yin and yang."
