There were 15 games and (almost) no scandals. Three weeks of calm also served as confirmation that so many suspicions are justified.. The arbitration proceedings are far from causing shame and adding to the fetid smell that surrounds Argentine football. They led well in the Clausura playoffs. As if a truce had been declared, a brace for the tricks. The fact is that such a noticeable change in the scenario – behaviors, facts – also raises suspicion and triggers distrust. When almsgiving is large, even the saint distrusts… Such a remarkable turn of events suggests this This time they turned their attention to directing. They were able to fulfill their function, without pressure, conditions or signs.
Too much noise in the environment to add new heists. After the title by decree for Central and the “support” of the students in the Hall of Honor, between raids and investigations in the context of the connection between Sur Finanzas and the AFA, the game appeared to be protected. Forget. The referees made correct decisions on the field and the VAR practically did not intervene with ghostly suggestions. Both reduced their visibilityand in football, as we all know, that’s a good sign.
The review of the 15 games of the Clausura definition, based on the results of LA NACION, gives the following qualifications: a very good grade (8 for Nicolás Ramírez in Riestra-Barracas Central, for the round of 16); eight performances rated good; four regular tasks; a bad one (3 for Andrés Merlos in Racing-Tigre, for the quarterfinals) and a very bad one, a 1 for Nazareno Arasa in Central Córdoba-San Lorenzo, for the round of 16. That night in Santiago del Estero, the Cyclone was apparently damaged. And an asterisk: Hernán Mastrángelo’s performance in Barracas Central-Gimnasia was regular, albeit with an obvious mistake on Lobo’s early goal. The afternoon on which President Claudio Tapia’s team was eliminated. Anyway, in the Count that the balance is positive. Especially compared to the standard, the standard of refereeing that plagued Argentine football day after day.
The champion Estudiantes, the rebel who dared to face power, was accompanied by a solid arbitration path without turbulence. The four referees who officiated their matches received a 7 from LA NACION: from the round of 16 to the final: Pablo Dóvalo, Yael Falcón Pérez, Facundo Tello and Nicolás Ramírez. All four stood out. Is Argentine arbitration more credible now? No, on the contrary, it has been shown that he is subordinated to the lashes of interference. And in a temporary window where seemingly nothing was being typed, the view persisted that they were good at it. Of course there are better and worse judges, They just need the freedom to break away from the crumbling circus.
