Every time referee Néstor Pitana has to direct a River match, coach Marcelo Gallardo usually ends up angry and outraged both by the judge’s performance and by the ways of responding to both the “Muñeco’s” claims and the complaints of his players and coaching staff.
In the prelude to the debut in the 2022 Professional League Cup against Unión in Santa Fe, and taking into account that precisely the one in charge of imparting justice will be the missionary, we remember the crosses he had with the successful driver of the “Millionaire”.
In Mar del Plata and for the 2017 Summer Tournament, River beat Boca 2-0 thanks to goals from Sebastián Driussi and Arturo Mina. Gallardo came out late to the playing field and Pitana expelled him. This he told the fourth official: “Explain it to me because otherwise you don’t understand. He’s an asshole, he doesn’t even know how to explain the regulations and he wants to break the balls”.
River lost 2-1 in the Superclásico played in Núñez and Gallardo, in high spirits, faced Pitana and said the following, pointing at him: “Never again call a player an asshole, you called Montiel an asshole.” “I’ll tell you why later.” Nestor replied. “Don’t disrespect him!” the “Doll” insisted.
Estudiantes-River, for date 19 of the Professional League. There were five minutes left before the end when Pitana sanctioned, correctly, a push from behind by Enzo Fernández to Leonardo Godoy. “What do you charge, asshole?!” Later, in a conference, he expressed himself about him: “I live matches like this and sometimes I get angry with the referees, like everyone else. Against Pitana I have absolutely nothing. Sometimes I get angry because sometimes he sees things that only he sees. He has so much a gift for managing matches, which makes him dangerous. For both sides, the same thing always happens to me. I don’t like it, but what will it be? We all have to rethink. It makes me angry because when you want to talk to her she doesn’t look at you, she ignores you. And she takes you out of place, but nothing more than that “.
