The case still resonates: on Monday, FIFA announced that complaints were accepted against the Argentine technical director Diego Guccibut he was not permitted for consideration with them inadequate. What does this mean? That they have no support for Argentina’s criminal justice, nor a precedent in the Argentine Football Association (AFA). In the document, the Zurich -based entity detailed the statements of five football players and the presence of another coach who finally refused to testify as a witness.
In his story, the football player A –In order to maintain identity, FIFA recorded testimonials while soccer players A, B, C, D and E-, described the way he dealt with certain players. In addition to sexual displays, to others he applied psychological violence.
The soccer player’s testimony emphasized that in many instances the players ’partners were waiting after training or matches. He stressed that, in his case, the technical director was “not opposed” to his male companion, but things changed with another soccer player, whose relationship was with someone of the same sex.

“When the female partner of one of my teammates waited for him, Guacci said it did not present the appropriate image for the club. His homophobic behavior It was insulting to me, but even more damaging to players who felt that their sexuality and morality were being criticized, ”Player A said in his statement.
“One of my colleagues, 17 or 18 years old at that time, he had not yet discussed his sexuality with his family. As you will appreciate, how and when a gay man chooses to discuss their sexuality is a very private and deeply sensitive topic. He wanted to leave the club, in part because of Guacci’s homophobic behavior that, when he found out, threatened to reveal his sexuality to his family when he left. “
“Guacci repeatedly told him that if he left, he would call his mother. The player refuses to stay and he revealed sexuality to the mother, without your permission. In a few moments, he will leave the club. “
“Guacci acted inappropriately and was sometimes sexist and homophobic. He once explicitly said that for Argentine football to be successful, we need players who are both women and talented footballers. He said that the homosexuality prevents women’s football and repeatedly commented on the sexual life or sexual behavior of the players, in a way that would not happen in men’s soccer and that is completely inappropriate ”, it follows from the document published by FIFA.
In that sense, the soccer player recognized that at one point, Guacci described women’s soccer in Argentina “as a whorehouse” and said that activity problems arose “because women had relationships with other women, ”she said.
“You’re fat. You can’t play like that.”

“You are a failure. You’re horrible, fat ”or“ Your fat. So you can’t play. You have nothing to do with that, eh ”, are some of the words criticized by various players as usual. And there’s something else worse, which reduces these sentences to seemingly nonsense.
“Sometimes we played bad and lost. Guacci was furious in the locker room after the game. The team at the time included girls who were very young, 14 and 15 years old. He gathered us all in the locker room and shouted at us: If they play like that again, I would put them in the showers and kick them in with the ortho”, Appears in the FIFA report.
“Guacci used sexual references in a consistent and inappropriate manner, even in the presence of players who were young. His behavior was controlling, sexual, aggressive and dominant,” Player said. A, before revealing a personal experience, when he was called. for the national team and was punished by Guacci’s club, who relegated him in return.

“I was called up for the Argentine National Team. Guacci has always been negative about the national team and rude to the coaches and staff who run the team. He belittled us in front of our teammates and made us feel guilty for playing on the national team, ”she explained as a preamble.
“My training ended and he called me. We were alone and we started walking on the playing field. He was obviously mad at me and started yelling at me, asking me if I thought I was very good for the club. You are like everyone else-he told me-, with the ability to take off your pants and rape yourself to be on the National Team “.
“After practice, he gathered the whole team in the locker room and said that the attitude of some players had changed, that we put the National Team before the club. That some of them had their heads too big and repeated that some were capable of taking off their pants to get to the National Team, ”he said.
