Frank Darío Kudelka was angry after the equality of Darío Benedetto, which was first annulled by the line, but later endorsed by technology. What did Laucha Acosta say about the play?
Boca tied against Lanús 1-1 this Saturday night at La Bombonera, for the Professional League. An equality that opened the controversy, since Xeneize’s goal had been annulled, initially by the linesman due to a possible advanced position. However, after a VAR review, referee Fernando Echenique decided to validate the goal converted by Darío Benedetto after a pass from Pol Fernández, the midfielder who would start early in the play.
That is why, at the end of the game, Frank Kudelka, Garnet’s coach, showed his anger with the VAR decision: “The truth is that I am not in a state of great capacity to answer things. I don’t know why I prefer to keep quiet.. The referee directed a very good game. He directed a very good game. But hey, there are things that are known and that’s it”.
“Regarding the game itself, I agree with what you said, Lanús played a very good game. In a practically isolated play, when that had practically never happened to us in terms of gestation, with very good players in the midfield like Boca has. The disappointment remains. In this way, it seems more defeat than draw. It is at least the feeling that I have, and the anger of not having been able to sustain that result that seems to me to be fair, “added Kudelka.
Lautaro Acosta induced Kudelka’s irony
Lautaro Acosta was another of those who charged against the VAR for how he reviewed the play of Boca’s goal. In this sense, Laucha remarked that, if the line was poorly drawn, those who were from the cabins cannot direct again: “(Jorge) Baliño and (Luis Lobo) Medina, who were the ones in the VAR, technically they can give another explanation. Now, if the explanation is that it is measured from the shoulder, I hope that the two of them no longer have to go to VAR or direct because technically they don’t know the regulations”.
“I spoke last week, what happens is that since it wasn’t Boca… We had played another game, they didn’t realize it, but I said that (Jorge) Almirón had opened the umbrella, that they had been harmed against Arsenal… .”, mentioned Acosta. At that moment, Kudelka appeared on camera, and the striker asked him what the criteria were for drawing the line.
“What is the criteria, from the shoulder, or from the foot?” Acosta asked Kudelka. And the DT was ironic. “What happens is that there are straight lines and concave lines,” replied the Garnet coach. “They have to stay on the sidelines a little more or hide it a little more… The truth is that Fernando (Echenique) doesn’t, but those who are in the VAR are there for that… Two points sleep again, you want to climb, You want to get closer to the people of power and again they lower you with a slingshot,” closed Laucha.
