Once the Super classicwhich had a controversial definition due to the incidents that occurred, one of the captains of Boca, Sergio “Chiquito” Romero manifested itself about the attitude of the players of River and the penalty charged.
In dialogue with the press, he stated: “With Gallardo they managed to get them to speak highly of them, now that their players are going to celebrate in front of our players, they speak very badly of them. Today they lost respect. For one goal, they lost everything“.
In addition, when referring to the penalty play, he explained that “it is very doubtful. According to the referee it was clear, but at no time did he consult the VAR. Watching the play is not a penalty. We’re leaving with a lot of anger, we played a good game and we’re going to lose out”.
Later, he also gave his opinion on the arbitration of Darío Herrera and was blunt: “I have many doubts if Herrera asked the VAR, it was all a friction in the game. When you have technology you can’t go wrong like that. The penalty is very strange, it was not clear and it seems that he remains with his ego not to be wrong. It is a shame that today they do not use all the technology, if this play happened in the River area, they did not charge for it ”.
And he closed by referring to the expulsions that occurred towards the end of the match: “Herrera’s expulsions were rare, we did not throw any pineapple. The arbitration was very strange, I didn’t draw cards, I should have sent off two of them”.
