In addition to the self-criticism of Boca’s match against River, the coach accused the judge of being impartial.
It was clear that before Mouth It was awkward to face the Superclásico in the middle of the series against Palmeiras, before the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, Jorge Almiron decided to play it with an alternative team that did not work and lost without extenuating circumstances, but the one who remained in the eye of the storm was Andrés Merlos because of his referees and some images circulated in the preview, dressed in River clothing.
It was Jorge Almirón who pointed and complained about two specific controversial actions during the post-match press conference: an alleged foul on Weigandt prior to Rondón’s goal and the advanced position for which Edinson Cavani’s draw was annulled. “We already came with the background of the last match on their field. And everywhere it came out that the referee is a River fan, that can’t happen because it lends itself to this confusion and doubt.”.
And in the above situations he stated that “The mistake was obvious because we were sitting next to the bench, the game continued and they scored the goal. And when playing the goal in favor (of Cavani) it is millimeters”.
Finally, he completed the topic by assuring that “one has doubts because of the environment, how it happens, because of the referee, because of how the match went, it pushes you little by little. It was said to be complicated and I can also imagine that it must have been very difficult for him to earn money like that in a Superclásico, the truth is that it is not understood. That is used as an excuse, I am responsible for the result, I have no other choice, I am the coach of the club.”
