Mouth has no peace. When it seemed that everything began to calm down and calm down after the elimination in the Libertadores Cupthe dismissal of Sebastiano Battaglia and the premature departure of the former captain Carlos Izquierdozthe bomb went off again in the Xeneize and in the doors inside the locker rooms. And all, at the interval of the classic against Racing in Avellaneda.
The first warning sign was the face of Carlos Zambrano, returned to the field with his left cheekbone visibly inflamed. Immediately the target was Benedetto, who had already spoken aloud before going to the locker room and who also came back with marks on the back of his neck.
One of the phrases that we heard from the conversation they had on the pitch, which was also attended by more players, was: “Give him boludo, I’ll kill myself.” But there is also another affirmation of Pipa: “If we are watching when they shoot the centers, they will score us a stupid goal”.
Finally, the rumor of the fight in the locker room began to gain strength and, as sources from Aprevide confirmed to the sports newspaper Olé, the police had to separate the protagonists of the struggle. There were also colleagues who intervened to prevent it from becoming more serious.
After what happened, neither of them spoke about the subject, although Hugo Ibarra confirmed that “there was an argument and nothing else”. But things did not end here and, after the match, Zambrano turned to his social networks with a striking message: “Complicated game but ‘The Delivery’ of the group not tractable @BocaJrsOficial ????????????”.
Although it is a sentence that at any other time may seem completely normal, which underlines the word “delivery” and makes more noise than it was immediately after the scandal and after Benedict’s claim. How will the story continue?
What did Benedict say?
Boca suffered and a lot against Racing. In the first half of the classic, the Academy had had many opportunities to score a goal and was not granted. Between the offensive inexperience, Rossi’s great work and a bit of luck for Ibarra’s team, the PT finished 0-0.
The Boca players, beaten for how they were beaten, gathered in the center of the pitch as they usually do to retire together in the locker room. There he heard Benedict affirm it “If we are watching when the centers shoot, they will score a stupid goal.” Then he covered his mouth to continue talking and the ending is not entirely understood.
It was clear that the weather was bad and what was to happen was nothing more than confirmation. Although Pipa hadn’t necessarily targeted Zambrano, it was clear that he blamed the defense’s carelessness. And then came the scandal.
Ibarra acknowledged the discussion
“What can I tell you about what happened? There was an argument and nothing else. Yes, but I can talk about the match later. I have no idea what happened, I’ll talk about it, I’ll talk about it, yes I know there was an argument, “ Hugo Ibarra said after the game.
The technician tried to get out of the argument but failed and added about the blow that Zambrano saw: “I have no idea, it could also have been something in the game, he played 90 minutes. I know there was an argument and nothing more. I’m not worried there will be arguments, there have always been discussions on campus. It must be part of football, to improve there must be discussions. “
