A harsh defense was made this Sunday by Arturo Vidal after the suspension of the Super Cup match between Colo Colo and Huachipatoa decision that was made following the serious incidents carried out by the White Claw in the North Gallery of the National Stadium.
The match could be played until the 79th minute, at which point Cacique won 2-0. Later, after the suspension was finalized, and before leaving the Ñuñoa venue, The “King” spoke to the media, and expressed his anger at the situation.
“It is unfortunate, violence cannot beat football, it is angry, it was unnecessary to suspend with 10 minutes left. This cannot dirty football, there are worse things elsewhere and people continue to play. Ending like this is very ugly. “We want to be champions on the field,” He started saying.
Likewise, he commented that “It happens everywhere, not just here, in other places there are other measures that they do not learn, they wash their hands. The game had to end, it can’t end like this. In Argentina-Brazil they were killing each other and they continued playing. Why not here?
“There was little time left, both teams wanted to finish, but the decision came from above that the game was ending and he didn’t even come down to show his face, I don’t know who that person is who sends someone else to report,” he added.
In this sense, he stated that “The decision came from above, they washed their hands saying that someone ordered the suspension, but the referee and the players wanted to finish. That it ends like this is ugly. There was anger because the game is not over, maybe if this continued it would not end like this and the fans would calm down.”
“The fans said that the police took away their canvases and that’s why they exploded, they said they were going to calm down, but the order was already in place to stop playing again. “Those who organize must be held responsible, it was unfair not to have raised the cup today,” he sentenced.
This Monday the ANFP will have a board meeting to evaluate the steps to follow with the comparison, and as stated 24 hoursthere are two options, which would be playing the remaining minutes behind closed doors; or end the game.
