An assistant of Santiago Solari is the delivery to the technical secretary and this one, in turn, turns it to the commissioner of the meeting
The possible misalignment of Federico Viñas has raised doubts about who is responsible for this shameful event. America claims that it delivered the Uruguayan’s name in time and form, while the referees maintain that they never received the name of the ram charrúa.
According to various sources consulted by ESPN, The process to follow to present a lineup in the MX League, is as follows, at least in America:
After the coach has defined the players he will use for the match, he hands over the names to one of the members of his coaching staff to draw up the list of starters and substitutes. It is known, for example, that in the stage of Miguel Herrera, the list was delivered from one night before the match, as the coach defined his starters and substitutes well in advance, in the degree which even made him known without problems in his press conferences prior to his confrontation around.
At that time, the assistant of the ‘Piojo’ elaborated the list and that same night passed the names to the technical secretary Mario Peniche so that he made it arrive at the MX League and there were no doubts or confusions of last minute. However, in the stage of Santiago Solari, this situation has changed because the Argentine strategist announces his lineup two or three hours before the game, so the time to prepare the certificate is smaller and the margin of error increases.
As with Herrera, a member of the technical body of Solari must deliver the list of convened to the technical secretary of America and from there deliver the names to the commissioner of the meeting to prepare the ‘official lineup that will appear on the certificate.
The same sources consulted by ESPN they say yes Federico Viñas was in the bench for the coaching staff and it will have to be shown if the assistants of Sant Jaume Solari forgot to register the player or were the authorities of the MX League the ones who forgot to put the name of the Uruguayan in the sheet of participants of the encounter.
For now, research on this topic is still ongoing, America argues that there is no misalignment because Viñas did not participate in the game in any way and did not violate the regulation. However, this situation will have to be defined by the disciplinary commission in the coming days.
