Despite the fact that two days have passed, the controversial return match of the round of 16 of the Concachampions 2021 which ended in Olympia’s 1-0 win over America (Although it was not enough for Hondurans to pass) he continues to talk. Who spoke on this occasion was Santiago Baths, President of the Mexican team, who requested the disqualification of both Yustin Arbreda (Who injured Chucho López) as of Henry Bejarano (The referee of the meeting).
“On the complaint, we have already done so formally before the CONCACAF and the League. We want the suspension of the player who fractures Chucho (López) and the disqualification of the referee. We will continue on this path, we are dismayed by what happened. The result goes into the background, we are more concerned about the physical integrity of the players“, He stated in dialogue with TUDN.
In relation to statement issued last Thursday by Olimpia on his social media, he expressed: “The Olympia statement I don’t know if it’s about dodge your responsibility. They are right to mention the kick that Naveda throws, but it comes as a result of the aggressions we have suffered before“.
“It all comes down to arbitration, Which could have been decisive from the first minute they threw him in front of Viñas, then the step on his back (in Córdoba). A capable referee controls the game with cards, so that it does not get out of hand. Obviously it didn’t happen yesterday“, Added.
Finally, with regard to measures to be implemented in case something similar happens again, he said: “One would be not to participate, but we don’t want to get to that extreme either. The easiest thing would be to improve the quality of the referees. Yesterday was terrible, a total irresponsibility of the arbitral tribunal. It’s amazing that at the moment of a tournament that takes you to the Club World Cup we don’t have VAR“.
