That arbitration helps America is a controversy that has been on the table for decades in soccer debates in national football. There are those who without hesitation assure that this is a reality; However, for Santiago Solari It is quite the opposite, even, from his experience, he considers that his team has been harmed more than they have benefited him.
In an interview with ESPN, the Indiecito showed the respect he has for the whistlers, but at the same time he pointed out that there have been specific plays in decisive matches where the same criteria were not applied for actions that he considered as equal due to the way in which they were developed.
“They have a complex job (the referees), I respect them because what they do is very difficult. I can talk about the events that happened to us. My way is not to complain about the arbitration, but we have suffered throughout the year situations that are the same and that both resulted against us. In the Concacaf Champions Final, the position of Funes Mori is offside, against Pumas we had the classification with a goal from Henry, it is exactly the same play and in both cases it was contrary to America. If both were in our favor, we were closer to the Concacaf and Mexican titles. The same has happened to us with the hand in the Concacaf Final that the referee reviews and does not consider a hand. There is a study by the Referees Commission that gives it objectivity, it would be interesting for it to be public “, he shared.
Along the same lines, Solari emphasized the theories that judges favor those of Coapa And without hesitation, he stated that it seems to him that it is the opposite since he perceives that the whistlers direct their games conditioned by these affirmations, which causes that at key moments these errors are more notorious.
“There is a myth of Americanism that the referees favor it and I think it is the other way around. The referees direct us conditioned by that myth. When the competition is refined, the errors become more evident “, he concluded, thereby making his position clear on a controversial issue that will surely continue to be talked about.
