Damiano Battallini he exploded with fury at being replaced by Leandro Fernández in the 36th minute of the first half: the independent footballer he came out full of anger and did not hide it. He didn’t even look at Eduardo Domínguez, he kicked water bottles and even took off his shirt and threw it on the ground.

A few minutes ago Batallini was playing to the limit and risked leaving his team with one less, because he was booked in the 29th minute of the first half and then committed a couple of push offenses that could have cost him the expulsion.

Faced with this situation, the coach decided to take him out for Fernández, which he did not like and led to strong anger. As he walked off the pitch, Batallini kicked a bottle and ran into the substitutes’ bench area where he grabbed his jersey and threw it to the ground. A few minutes later, Domínguez sat down on one of the stands where the relays await and asked the player for an explanation.

The Academy won the fifth game of the last six classics against Rojo. That winning streak reaches 7 out of 10. And everything happens in a more than delicate institutional moment for the Avellaneda club. To make matters worse, when doubts about the continuity of the DT, Batallini’s reaction only adds fuel to the fire.
