youoo, as he is known in his inner circle, he hung up the whistle a few weeks ago. But Mateu Lahoz’s ‘show’ does not end with his withdrawal from arbitration. The former collegiate player continues to have a “passion for green” and he showed it this past weekend by putting on his boots to play a charity tournament for the ‘Salamanca Sports and Cultural Association of Referees’.
Several journalists from ‘The Day After’ (Movistar Plus+) They were invited to form a team to participate as guests in the tournament and added to their ranks, in addition to Mateu, two other referees such as Pau Cebrian and José Luis González González. The quality quota was set by the ex-soccer player from Salamanca Jorge Alonso.
After seven games, the invited team ended up reaching a final that ended in a draw. That is where Mateu Lahoz intervened to propose an exemplary and Solomonic decision: “Why don’t we leave it with two winners? No more. You are not going to decide this in three miserable penalties…“
And so it was. To set an example and to reign in the atmosphere of brotherhood and good vibes, the thing ended in a draw with two winners. Too has been, is and will be what is known as a ‘genius and figure’.
