Despite the fact that two days passed, the second controversial stage of the round of 16 Concachampions 2021 that ended in Olimpia wins 1-0 over America (Although it was not enough for Hondurans to pass) there is still talk of him. Who spoke on this occasion was Santiago Banos, the president of the Mexican team, who requested disqualification of both Yustin Arboleda (which hurt Chucho López) since Henry Bejarano (match referee).
“As for the complaint, we have already made it formally before CONCACAF and the League. We want to suspend the player who fractured Chucho (López) and disqualify the referee. We will continue on that path, we are constrained by what happened. The result goes to the second term, we are more concerned with the physical integrity of the playershe said in a dialogue with TUDN.
In relation to statement issued last Thursday by Olimpia in his social networks, he expressed: “I don’t know if it’s the Olympia statement avoid your responsibility. They are right to mention the blow that Naveda throws, but it comes as a result the aggressions I have suffered before“.
“It all comes down to arbitration, which could have been decisive from the first minute that Viñas was thrown in front of him, then the stump on his back (Cordova). A capable referee controls the card game so that it does not get out of hand. Obviously it didn’t happen yesterday“he added.
Finally, in terms of the measures to be implemented if something similar happens again, he handled: “One would not participate, but we do not want to go to this extreme either.. The easiest thing would be to improve the quality of the referees. What happened yesterday was terrible, a total irresponsibility of the arbitration body. It is incredible that at this time of a tournament that takes you to the Club World Cup we do not have VAR“.
