“It does not have the same measure for everyone!”

Boca Juniors enters considerably weakened in the match with Bayern, scheduled this night, from 04:00, Romania time. But it is primarily the fault of his players. In the previous match, against Benficăi (2-2), Ander Herrera (min. 45) and Jorge Figal (88) were eliminated with “red” directly, and FIFA gave them 4 stages of suspension, so for them, the club World Cup is already over!

The Argentinians upset that Andrea Belotti from Benfica only took two stages of suspension

Already changed, the result of an injury, Herrera made a monster scandal on the edge, following a referee's decision, and had to be kept by a stewart so as not to attack it. Figal, in turn, was finally eliminated because of a very harsh input. Although they were deserved to be harshly sanctioned, Boca Juniors' bosses were shocked and criticized the World Forum disciplinary commission. The reason?

Also removed with a direct red card, following an involuntary blow applied to an opponent (min. 72), Andrea Belotti, from Benfica, escaped with only two stages of suspension. “FIFA does not have the same measure for everyone!”, Commented Miguel Ángel Russo, the coach of Boca Juniors, in which Bellotti's aggression “was intention” and was worth sanctioning as his players.

Miguel Angel Russo: “The difference from the European teams is still very big”

Boca had started very well against Benficăi, merential goals (21) and Battaglia (27), but he was not able to keep his advantage. Angel Di Maria reduced the handicap in the extensions of the first part (45+3), and Otamandi equalized to two in the minute 84.

“I think, as for us, the Argentinians, the difference from the European teams is still very big. Maybe one day it will fade, but not yet. We must continue to work,” Miguel ángel Russo had said.
