Federico Beligoy assured that Dóvalo’s arbitration “was good” and that he will take legal action against Tevez

In the midst of the crossfire sparked by the party’s controversies between Central Barracks AND Independent, the new protagonist who joined the story was Federico Beligoy. The national director of arbitration of the AFA did not hesitate to talk about the refereeing performance of the match and to defend the questioned Pablo Dóvalo.

“The refereeing work yesterday was good“was one of Beligoy’s first sentences, in dialogue with Tyc Sports.

The former referee continues with the controversy over Domínguez’s yellow card after Marcone’s expulsion: “The controversial works? Domínguez wants to play the ball. First he touches the ball and the tip of his boot grazes Marcone. The yellow one is fine. “Afterwards, no one who has played football can say that the handball in the second half was a penalty.”

He added: “There are nuances to analyze behind closed doors, but the decisions were correct in everything that was doubtful. We do not own the truth and they are questionable games. But for a reason we are uploading the interpretative analyzes with the VAR audio .”

“The plays are questionable, a mess was created when Dóvalo had to stay with a goalkeeper. It seems like everyone is talking just for the sake of talking. Something was put together before the match,” he concluded.

By mentioning this “something”, Beligoy refers to a “campaign armed and manipulated in a biased way compared to the previous one”, in his words, by journalism. “I’m angry about everything that was said,” he told her.

In this sense, he tried to include comparative data in the equation. “In the Professional League Dóvalo took charge of 14 matches against Barracas and Independiente 13 times.yes, what’s abnormal? Barracas got 27 points and Independiente 25. Independiente’s average points with Dóvalo is 64%, the same as Barracas. How is the press treatment not ill-intentioned?“.

The fact that Beligoy was alerted to by Tyc Sports is that in the two years that Barracas was in the First Division, Independiente were managed by Dóvalo on seven occasions.

However, the leader tried to defend his colleague based on the refereeing rules. “Once the referee is appointed, he cannot manage the same team for two consecutive dates. If the AFA approved these regulations 100 years ago and a referee manages a team every 7 matches, what is the problem? I speak to the data,” he expressed.

The only mistake Beligoy made against Dóvalo

Although in his opinion “the refereeing was good”, the only mistake that Beligoy points out to Dóvalo is that of having insulted defender Joaquín Laso during an exchange of words. And he adds: “Even the referees have dirty shoes, maybe they think differently.”

In addition to being in the eye of the storm, Beligoy confirmed that “Dóvalo has already been appointed for the next date and will direct“.

After the defense to the referee, who He is currently in police custody due to threats he receivedthe director of arbitration confirmed the start of legal proceedings against Carlitos.

“We will certainly take legal action against Tevez. I would also do the same because no one authorizes the protagonists to say everything they said, but we have to bow our heads and continue working. I’ll give you an example: if I raise an issue about a player and then unfortunately what one installs happens, obviously one will think badly. Do you think we can think badly when Carlitos misses the penalty and Argentina is excluded from the Copa América? Can we think badly? I don’t. “I don’t think badly. He was wrong because he woke up sick that day… so how can I not defend Dóvalo? “, he said.

Likewise, Beligoy is not surprised since he is going through arbitration, but rather feels accustomed to living these situations. “This has happened our whole lives, it’s not something that happens now. The arbitrations in France, Spain, Brazil and Peru always talk about the same thing, which is why they don’t divert our attention. This is why I say there is a targeted journalism that generates these situations and “I take responsibility for what I say. I am clear which way everything goes and where everything comes from,” he said.

The issue on which Beligoy was unable to comment concerns the meeting that Tevez and Toviggino had through social networks. He admitted that “the contact I have is with the president of the AFA, I don’t speak with Toviggino and I don’t know what he meant”.
