The statement from the Argentine Association of Referees against Tevez
“The Argentine Association of Referees strongly repudiates the statements made by Mr. Carlos Alberto Tevez in the framework of the match between Club Atlético Barracas Central vs Club Atlético Independiente, in which, in reference to the performance of our affiliate Pablo Germán Dovalo, he expressed serious terms that slander, insult and incite violence, undermining the good name and honor of Mr. Dovalo. For this reason From the Argentine Association of Arbitrators, together with our team of legal advisors, we will initiate the corresponding legal actions in criminal and civil jurisdiction for the damages caused.“says the statement signed by Federico Beligoygeneral secretary.
“It is very difficult and very notorious because we have been saying that Pablo (Dóvalo) has a history with Barracas. This was installed all week and it comes and steals from you anyway… This guy is crazy,” Tevez started at the press conference after the 2-2 draw between his Independent y Central Tents by date 9 of group A of the League Cup.
“We are still hot. We have to start finishing it, because but Argentine football like that is very difficult. Iván’s (Marcone) is red. Winning 1-0 and with ten guys, the game changes you,” he added.
“As we knew this guy is into doing these things. It’s like a stream coming to your house and telling you that it’s going to rob you.. And then go and rob you. And with a face that later confronts you and wants to fight you. Crazy. “I’m hot,” he concluded. Apache.
Beyond the fact that Tevez was not only referring to one specific play, but to several, one of the ones that generated the most controversy was the harsh lack of Alexis Dominguez a Ivan Marcone. The referee considered that a yellow was enough – Beligoy himself hit the right in later statements – but Independiente claimed that it was a direct red.
There was also talk of the hand of Carlos Arcefor which all Rojo asked for a penalty: “If a boy kicked a ball in the back of his house, he says that that play can never be a penalty. In turn, with technical considerations, I explain to you why it was not a penalty: the ball bounced off his own body, there is a noticeable closeness between the header and the Barracas player, because he is taking it and destabilizing it. Both are jumping towards the ball and lose track of where the ball is. And there is clearly no movement of the hand towards the ball, the ball always goes to the hand,” said Beligoy.
