”This happened throughout the tournament” declares André Jardine about the refereeing controversy in the two-time American championship

In a night that will be unforgettable for the azulcremas fans, because they finally saw their team as two-time champion of the MX League, and bitter for the celestial fans, who had faith in the boots of the players of the Blue Cross, America It showed why it is the winningest club in national football.

With a disputed penalty, which Herny Martín converted into a goal, the squad led by Brazilian strategist André Jardine, achieved its fifteenth league title, in a final in which goalkeeper Malagón dressed as a hero, saving the capital’s team in three occasions.

At the end of the match, in an interview for TUDN, they asked the technical director of the two-time champion team in Mexico: André Jardine, about the most difficult thing on this path towards the two-time championship, to which Jardine responded with great class that the rivals faced were, without without a doubt, which tested the hierarchy of his players.

And it was no wonder. In the quarterfinals they kicked out the Tuzos del Pachuca already in the final stretch of the match. In the semifinals they faced the Rebaño Sagrado, and although they were never eliminated, in the end the advantage dictated one for the azulcremas, zero for the Chivas. And in the final they faced one of the best clubs in national football: the Blue Cross Machine, who sold their defeat dearly tonight.

However, the statement that took the note was the one offered by André Jardine. And David Faitelson asked him, very much like him, about the referee’s controversy in the penalty play. André, calm but frontal, replied that this was something that had happened throughout the tournament. Referring to the fact that the media tends to turn to see only those referee errors that favor America, but forget when they go against them.

”I already understood that it is like that,” he said at the end, and then he went to celebrate with his boys, who gave a dream night to a man who came to Coapa and gave them what no one had been able to.
