Real Madrid chief Mijatovic backs Schuster in media row

Real Madrid sports chief Pedja Mijatovic insists coach Bernd Schuster was within in his rights to storm out of the post-match media conference after victory at Recreativo Huelva on Saturday.

Real Madrid sports chief Pedja Mijatovic insists coach Bernd Schuster was within in his rights to storm out of the post-match media conference after victory at Recreativo Huelva on Saturday.

Schuster's questioning lasted just 37 seconds, but Mijatovic says: "When reporters asked him three times and Schuster said he did not want to talk about referees, the fourth time he was right to leave because you have to suppose that there are no more questions."

"We understand that people ask what they want, but if they see that the coach does not want to talk about it, you have to respect that. It is logical that in the end he was tired and so left."
