The statements of Marcelo Gallardo rebounded strongly this Wednesday, in which he pointed out harsh criticism of the conduct of Argentine football and even the Ministry of Health of the Nation , due to the lack of a protocol for players to train. Not only did he find this Thursday a harsh response from the AFA, in which the president of Lanús, Nicolás Russo, was confronted by the contradiction of not having appeared to play on the first date of the Super League Cup against Atlético Tucumán when there was a suspicious case in his squad -which later was negative for coronavirus- and now claim the return of football. Also from the media he received a questioning of his position.

In his program "Fantino a la afternoon", for America, the television host Alejandro Fantino stood on the sidewalk in front of Gallardo, who in any case recognized his merits as a coach and described him as "a teacher" and the best in the field in recent years of Argentine football.

"You can see that he is already tired of not playing soccer and that a protocol has not been put in place," he began in his message on the subject Fantino. And then he explained: "Doll, running is not the same as training soccer. Because in River you have 300 mats per team. But Los Andes does not have the same mats, and neither does Flandria. It is not easy to train soccer again, especially for those who do not have the same comforts as you ".

Fantino, who recalled his critical position towards Claudio Tapia, conceded: "In this I am with Chiqui Tapia. Because he says that when the whole country is in phase 4, they will play football again. And I put myself in the shoes of the people from the interior. From Santa Fe, like I am, or from Cordoba. That says 'why do two planes have to come with people with coronaviruses here, that we are handling the issue well?' "

Finally, he sentenced: " Doll , when you go to Córdoba to play, with the squad, leaders, people, because some people are also going to arrive ... The truth is that you can't. Doll, you can't!" .
