Zidane bothered by 'referee talk' as Real Madrid leads La Liga points table

What bothers me is that in the end we only talk about the referees, it seems that we have not done anything on the field, says Real Madrid manager Zidane

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has hit out at the constant talk surrounding the referring decisions as his side moved to the top of La Liga standings.

His remark comes as Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 on Sunday (local time) to move to the top of the standings.

In the match, Sergio Ramos' penalty, for a foul on Vinicius Junior had given Real Madrid the lead in the match and then Sociedad's Adnan Januzaj had an effort ruled out for offside.

Karim Benzema then doubled Madrid's lead after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check for a possible handball.
 

"What bothers me is that in the end we only talk about the referees, it seems that we have not done anything on the field. But we are not going to control the controversy. We won on the field and I think the victory is deserved," Goal.com quoted Zidane as saying.

"There is a penalty and I think that for the goal, Karim touches it with his shoulder. These are things of the referee and as always I do not get involved, he does his job and nothing else. I have to respect these things and think only about what we did. It is a deserved victory, which is the most important thing for us," he added.
