“Palavecino, instead of going with his teammates, stays ahead of two of my defenders to shout the goal in his face. I ran out to yell at him: ‘What are you doing?’ My teammates thought I was going to fight and they came after me and then those from River. In previous years they had achieved something that was very important, which was that they respect you for everything.not only because you have a good team or win a title, but because you behave on and off the pitch. Today it was overlooked”, shot the former goalkeeper of the Argentine national team in unexpected praise for Marcelo Gallardo.
Romero advanced a little more and criticized the sanction of the penalty: “The penalty play is very doubtful. I ask the referee if it was a penalty. He tells me that it was clear. I told him that he had the VAR to consult and at no time did he consult it. Seeing the play, it is not a collectible penalty. It is a normal play in a game where there are frictions and I should never have charged it”.
