Behind the joy and the "Colgate smile" that
Miguel Ángel Russo
shows in every game , there is a person with a strong character.
This was demonstrated by the current coach of
Rosario Central
, when he was expelled from the game by referee Ariel Penel after a reaction that heated up the game that would end in a draw against Boca, he showed an anger that was impossible to hide.
This Monday, with a little more calm, the
Canalla coach
offered his apologies
through a chat with ESPN
At times the game at the Gigante de Arroyito had a tense atmosphere and absolute rivalry between
Xeneize
and the
Rosario
Academy , causing the game to stop for
16 minutes
in the second stage due to repeated crosses between the players.
Not only them, but Russo also had a tense moment in the second half when
he was not allowed to make a substitution
and
missed a trade window
.
After that moment, which he demanded more than three minutes to stop, Miguel
became furious and left protesting
with some irritation.
To lower the foam to that moment of anger, Russo spoke on the subject and apologized for his excessive reaction.
"
I regret what happened
. It's something only with the change, not because of the added minutes. I don't dwell on whether it's the referee's fault or something else. I decide to make two changes in a window and between the fourth referee and the main referee , they decide that only one enters and I don't know why. That's what bothered me, everything was
ordered and warned, I don't know what happened
and why he made only one enter.
"
I didn't sleep all night because of my reaction
, one is also there to educate the little ones and I regret it," Russo said with a tone of total regret.
Immediately afterwards, the scoundrel coach clarified that the anger only referred to the fact of having lost the change window: "The VAR, the minutes he added, whether it is a penalty or not, are match situations so the anger did not go
through there
. My reaction is wrong, I apologize. We do things well and it annoys when there are no answers."
Russo's furious record in this tournament
You have to go back to the
1-0
victory of his team against
Independiente
on date 11 of the Professional Soccer League to remember the closest antecedent of enraged Russo.
On that occasion, he was even more fervent and
there was even a blow
by the former Boca coach towards the person who was driving the medical cart on the same stage.
It all happened when the party died in the victory of
Canalla
, and
Facundo Mallo
requested medical assistance after receiving a blow.
For this reason, the footballer was removed by the cart,
they did not allow him to re-enter
the match and Miguel's team was temporarily left with
10 players
on the field to defend a favorable corner kick for Avellaneda's team, which was trying to find a tie in the end of the match.
To make matters worse, the team that Ricardo Zielinski
currently coaches
was able to score on that play, although it was later annulled due to the intervention of the VAR.
Once the cart reached the substitute bench area, Russo
rebuked and hit the driver
of the unit, who
did not react
to the DT's unexpected attitude.
As in this last situation, Russo showed his regret.
“They are all confusions to review.
I apologized accordingly and in that kind of thing it is very difficult.
I accept my mistake
, I recognize it accordingly and I apologized because I realized it right away, but hey, it's football, ”he clarified in dialogue with Tyc Sports.
