The Transandinos have filed a vigorous complaint with FIFA. They seek to preserve the victory by secretariat.
The scandal that occurred in the match between Argentina and Morocco, the most important so far at the Paris Olympics, is not over yet. The Albicelestes are not resigned to the defeat against the Africans, which was consummated after the VAR disallowed Cristian Medina’s goal that would have meant 2-2. after two hours of waiting due to serious incidents involving supporters of the Moroccan team In the antechamber, the anthem of the neighboring country had been botched.
The AFA intends to take advantage of all this chaos. As soon as the match ended, it filed a firm complaint with FIFA, with the aim of establishing responsibilities, applying appropriate sanctions and… that the points be awarded to them in the aforementioned commitment, taking into account the irregularities that occurred in its preparation . The information This was announced by the Infobae website. .
They ask for the points
A few minutes after the fall, the AFA issued a statement expressing its discontent. “It was unfortunate what we Argentines had to experience in Saint-Etienne. Waiting almost two hours in the locker room so that after the invasion of the playing field by Moroccan spectators and the violence suffered by the Argentine delegation, our players had to warm up again and continue playing. a match that should have been suspended by the head referee, really makes no sense and goes against the rules of the competition “, he expressed, in a message published on the account of Claudio Tapia, the president of the AFA.
“In addition to this, the opinion of the captains of both teams was not heard, who understood that the match should not be resumed. From the Argentine Football Federation, we have already filed a complaint with the FIFA Disciplinary Committee so that the relevant regulatory measures can be taken and a sanction imposed on whoever corresponds. “, Chiqui added.
He was not the only one
Tapia is not the only one to raise his voice. Then it was the turn of Javier Mascherano, the team’s coach, who even denounced the commission of crimes that affected his players. “We spent an hour and a half in the locker room, where at no time did they tell us what could happen, they never warned us. “We are watching,” they told us. . In fact, the three Moroccan captains went back to the locker room and did not want to continue playing. Our position was to not play anymore because they threw a million things at us, the game was stopped seven times… It has never happened to me as a player that in a game of this level the security failed seven times. “It failed seven times!” he explained first.
Then he accused: “That’s it… Listen, Yesterday they came into training and robbed us At the Olympic Games. At Thiago Almada was missing a watch, rings, everything, from training for the Olympic Games . We didn’t want to say anything after training, but that’s it. I think it’s useless. Obviously, we don’t like it when this kind of thing happens either. We do not intend for them to take advantage of us, much less, but neither do we worry about them as they did today. ” he detailed.
