This Sunday, March 20, a new edition of the Argentine Superclassic will take place between Boca Juniors vs River Plate, valid for the seventh round of the Argentine Football Professional League. However, the match is already played with the statements of the coaches and the leaders on the eve of the match.
One of the statements that generated opinion in Argentina came from Jorge Bermúdez, formerly the central defender of the 'xeneize' team and who now acts as a leader forming part of the so-called Football Council. In dialogue with TNT Sports, the 'boss' said he hopes that arbitral decisions will not alter the outcome of the match:
In this regard, Bermudez compared the games before where the physical duels were much stronger and the plays were sometimes overlooked by the judges:
“I saw from statistics that in the last classics played it is very natural for situations not very clear to happen. Be careful, I speak in all the classics, I don't see only Boca-River. And the contexts say that with few things, with a thin balance, lines are broken. In the classics of before, it was difficult for these things to happen. When I played, I had (Eduardo) Berizzo and (Roberto) Ayala in front of me and the lowest kick was in the back of the neck and they didn't get expelled. And neither does Bermudez and company. It is not normal that today, on the first play that you are late, you already have yellow, when you play it is not the same.”
The Argentine Football Association confirmed what will be the arbitral lists for date seven of the League Cup. It will be an interzonal day called the date of the classics and the work that Darío Herrera will have in the Superclassic between River Plate and Boca Juniors at the Monumental stadium, on Sunday from 5:00 in the afternoon, Colombian time, stands out. The judge will have as assistants Juan Pablo Belatti (1) and Diego Bonfa (2); and Facundo Tello as the fourth official. About this designation Jorge Bermudez commented:
