Shema-Alonso updated his podcast to defend his role as an advisor to the Technical Committee of the Spanish Council of the Institution (see the relevant news attached to this article for details).

Shema Alonso wrote: "I am a Real Madrid fan, but I watch at most ten to twelve games a year (I don't even subscribe to the football channel, just watch football socially with friends). Of course, I will be happy when Real Madrid wins."

"My task at the Spanish Referees Technical Committee is to help prepare technical meetings and attend committee meetings, that's all. VAR's responsibilities, referee allocations, referee evaluations, etc. are still under the responsibility of CTA and RFEF professionals. I am just happy to help them better understand technology. If VAR or referee makes a mistake...you have to look for scapegoats elsewhere (don't blame me)."
