This Saturday the game is played Boca vs. River for the Professional Football League and it is a classic that everyone plays: the players, the coaches, the managers, the fans and also the journalists. Martin Arevalo y Gustavo Yarroch They are two of the most renowned journalists covering Boca and River. And in the run-up to the classic, they clashed strongly and the confrontation exploded on social media.
«Boca is upset because yesterday’s refereeing was a real shock»Arévalo said on Wednesday on Radio La Red. The journalist, who follows Boca’s day-to-day, said that within the club they showed alarm and annoyance at what they understood as a favorable refereeing for River against Colo-Colo. «The mood is heated. They were upset yesterday, even though they are not playing in the Copa Libertadores»said Arevalo.
“When they see Borja’s tackle, which is not even a yellow card… They are upset because they think that River was favored. That is what Boca clearly sees. Because of the expulsion of the Colo-Colo player who did nothing”Arévalo added, giving details of the situations that irritated Chileans and Boca fans alike. But the comment angered Yarroch.
«Boca did not care about Talleres’ goal or San Lorenzo’s penalty. Let’s be serious. And if not, let them say it on air, because Martín seems like a spokesman for the management»said Yarroch, who covers River’s daily life. The remark also annoyed the journalist who covers Boca’s news.
“I am not a spokesperson for anyone, I cover a team”Arévalo replied to his colleague. «Borja’s kick is here and in China. I can tell you the feelings of the Boca leadership…»Arévalo said ironically, questioning the affront that his colleague had posed to him. But Yarroch stood up and interrupted the driver, Gustavo Lopezto answer Arévalo.
«Allow me to do this, Gustavo, because this always happens before the Superclásicos. I always ask the leaders what they think about this or that refereeing and for some time now I decided to stop commenting publicly on what the leaders think. If they want to say it, let them say it on air. I am no longer the spokesperson for any leadership»Yarroch saved a shot towards Arévalo.
“Ah, so you did it for a long time,” Arévalo said ironically. “Yes, I stopped asking.”Yarroch replied. “So the thief believes that everyone is like him”Arévalo told his colleague, which angered Yarroch even more. “I am not a thief”he shot.
