“I understand that a referee can make a mistake, but we have the VAR in Argentine football to correct what a referee cannot see. When you see the kick, the first penalty, the second that takes him off the field, they are indisputable things “There may have been a mistake by the referee, yes, but there is the VAR. Independiente was harmed.”he pointed Ritondo.
Then he added in radio statements: “The VAR guy can’t tell me that he didn’t see it. He didn’t make a mistake, he did something atrocious. The error could be in the speed of the play and we’re going to assume that Dóvalo didn’t see it. In the VAR they dirty a football match” .
“Independiente was harmed by a referee who could have made a mistake, but the VAR cannot do it because he sees it the same as us”in reference to the number of cameras that the judges in the booth have to review plays on the grounds of the AFA.
Besides, Ritondo insisted on the error of VAR and pointed out: “A referee inside the field runs, in the VAR they have cameras available and when there is a foul of that characteristic like the kick to (Iván) Marcone you have to see it.”
Later, he pointed out that “The leaders who were in the stadium could not speak with the referee, security took them out.”
Finally, the leader stated that the coach has the support of the leadership. “Tevez gets angry because he is doing an enormous job, he has been fighting for a championship, showing signs of work just like the leadership that has been making enormous sacrifices to form a team, pay debts…”
“He has our support for what he is doing”he sentenced Ritondo.
Tevez reaffirmed his statements the day after the game against Barracas
The coach of Independent, Carlos Tevezreaffirmed his position against the refereeing that generated controversy during the match against Central Barracks and assured that he will not change his version because “they stole”.
“I still think the same thing as yesterday: they robbed Independiente. I say what I think. I hope that having said what I think does not bring consequences to Independiente because if not, then I have to step aside”the coach launched at a press conference with the club president, Nestor Grindetti.
“I’m not going to change my version. Those who know me know that I always say what I see. I keep looking at all the plays and I keep insisting that they hurt us”he added.
For its part, Grindetti supported the coach’s statements: “Clearly Independiente was harmed yesterday. These are obstacles that life puts in front of you and you have to face them. We are going to work to the maximum extent possible so that these things do not happen.”
