The match between Barracas Central and Independiente left a lot to talk about. Everyone expressed their opinion: from Carlos Tevez in the press conference, to Sergio Agüero on his social networks. Now, the former Argentine referee, Javier Castrilli, blew up on his personal X account (formerly Twitter) and took aim at the AFA and refereeing in Argentine football. Furthermore, he asked Javier Milei to intervene in the situation.
“The Dóvalo-Lobo Medina duo did their job in Barracas – Independiente. Obviously they respected it. Who can put a limit on so much institutional violence? Then acts of violence happen and the police must act, but who generates this violence?“, Castrilli published on his social networks. In the match there were some controversies such as a possible red card and two hands inside the Barracas area that were not reviewed. This made the red players explode with fever.
Not only that, but he also asked the President of the Nation for help, and spoke of the “football caste”. “La Libertad should ‘advance’ by overcoming the ‘football caste’ of the Argentine Football Federation…”launched the former referee. He in turn referred to the AFA in the same way Milei speaks of the opposition. He also used the ending “advance”, ironically, just like the President does.
Freedom should “advance” on the “football caste” of the Argentine Football Federation… IF THE AUTHORITIES WERE ELECTED BY THE MEMBERS MEMBERS OF EACH CLUB… HOW DIFFERENT AND AUTHENTICLY DEMOCRATIC EVERYTHING WOULD BE… NO…??? @JMilei

“If the authorities were elected by the registered members of each club… How different and authentically democratic everything would beright, @JMilei?” he added in his post.
The idea continued: “If the AFA authorities were democratically elected by the members of each institution, would you vote for Tapia-Toviggino-Beligoy? Of course… For yes or no! May freedom continue to advance on the side of football… Respecting priorities, of course,” he said in another publicationalluding to Milei’s political slogan and talking about possible democratic elections in the AFA.
If the AFA authorities were democratically elected by the members of each institution… would you vote Tapia-Toviggino-Beligoy…??? Of course…YES OR NO…!!!! May freedom continue to advance… on the side of football… respecting priorities obviously…

Castrilli had already spoken about refereeing in Argentine football
“This is unsustainable, they attack the heart of the system. E“If there are no suspicions, there is a certainty that things will go wrong,” the former referee said. on Los Más Grandes on AM 770 after the match between Deportivo Riestra and Comunicaciones in the round of 32 of the Argentina Cup in early February.
“Espinoza, Merlos and Echavarría arrived in the First Division with prizes. Everyone knows it. The others are waiting, they think this is the way forward”, he commented.
“Terror reigns, they govern with fear. They don’t care about anything, they feel unpunished. Every time the power teams play, you know how the story is going to end,” he said.
