The Tigre coach, who repudiated the hitting of the players with a bottle, questioned whether the Chacarita soccer player wanted to avoid the attack. “Look at the video,” he argued.
Tigre’s coach, Nestor Gorositohad controversial statements after the suspension of his team’s match against Chacarita for the Argentine Cup, due to a fan throwing a bottle onto the playing field that hit the player’s head. Fernando Brandánremarking that “you don’t have to throw something like that but you don’t have to head it either.”
“It’s wrong. How are they going to throw a bottle. Then there are images that are confusing. The player runs past one of Tigre and heads the bottle. But there’s no reason to throw it.”said Gorosito after what happened 10 minutes into the second half, when “Matador” was winning 1-0.
In addition, “Pipo” targeted the president of Chacarita, Nestor Di Pierroafter he stated: “He did not want to change banks even though ours gave to the Tigre fans.”
“The president of Chacarita is a turkey. It’s a lie that I didn’t want to change the bench. I had no idea where we were moving to and I had no idea which bank we were on. There is a part that organizes. I’m not going to say no, I’m not president.
I understand that there were also journalists who said the same thing.
Let them not talk nonsense. Let them talk about football, that the team didn’t play well, whatever they want, but don’t say nonsense,” the coach responded.
Along those lines, he added: “The players who were not on the bench sat there because the exit from our locker room was five meters away.. It is totally logical that they go there. But not that we knew, it is talking about things that are not.”
“I saw the video. You don’t have to throw something like that but you don’t have to head it either. It is not appropriate for them to throw something away. If it had happened to us it would be exactly the same. We are work colleagues, adversaries and not enemies. But watch the video. It is not appropriate for them to throw something like that away,” Gorosito insisted.
