The strong defense of Racing player Facundo Mura: “If I catch Barco’s football, I’ll watch the match in the sanatorium today”

racing they drew an important match against Flamengo on their way to Group A of the Copa Libertadores. Fernando Gago’s team’s starting right-back was Facundo Mura, which performed an acceptable task. But the defender’s performance can only be evaluated because he saved himself from a serious injury – according to his statements – in Saturday’s defeat against Boca.

Mura was the star of a cross at the Bombonera with Boca’s young left-back, Valentine boat, who deserved more than a yellow card, but the VAR didn’t call Andrés Merlos to review the play. Minutes later, sebastian villa he hit him with his arm (it seemed involuntary) which caused a deep cut on his head and forced Mura to leave the field of play (Iván Pillud came on in his place).

“I think there hasn’t been much talk because Boca played against Libertadores and now the Superclásico is coming. I think it’s in sight and many things have been questioned. What I wonder is if we are taken care of (by the players) beyond the fact that there may be dubious plays, beyond the fact that there may be controversy”, Mura started his strong defense in the Cilindro de Avellaneda after playing against the Brazilian team.

He clarified that “the rage” lasted even though several days had passed and continued with his analysis: “If Barco’s football catches me with my foot on the other side, I’m watching this match with Flamengo in the sanatorium right now”Wall Strike.

He added: “This cut that I have on top (on my head) didn’t stop bleeding until the end of the game. And it hit an artery and I was whipping (sic), and it wouldn’t stop bleeding. I had to have follow-up CT scans which fortunately went well.” And then he denounced that the show “hasn’t even been seen”, which suggests a certain complicity of the official television broadcast. “Some photos have been seen, it has been seen in a video. But I didn’t even want to talk about it much because today we had a very important match, we had to concentrate here,” she said.

“As a footballer, the other day, on Labor Day, I stressed that in addition to winning or losing, we have to be loyal, we have to respect our rivals and I think it’s important to take that into account. I take this opportunity to let the Boca players know that I’m fine“, Mura joked. And he added:” But hey, I wonder if we footballers are protected on the pitch.

When asked if a Boca player had called him, he replied no and that not even a call was expected. And he went on pointing against the Bombonera arbitration: “The other day it seemed like anything went. The football was just yellow and why didn’t they even look at my leg when I showed the referees the shot I had. So I wonder if he was really protected.”

“I think they weren’t expelled because the Superclásico was coming, but at least tell the Boca players not to be so mean. If they know they won’t kick them out, they shouldn’t be so bad.“He added with a wry smile. “Luckily I’m fine, stay calm,” she joked.

And he concluded: “I think it’s good to reflect on what happened the other day. I bled for 45 minutes and was obviously scaredI’m not even telling you that my family was watching it too. But I repeat, beyond the place where you play, the rival and that we can win or lose, you need to feel protected”.
