The Chilean Gary Medel, who was not called up by Ricardo Gareca for the 2024 Copa América, does not miss La Roja’s matches, even if it is on TV. Neither Arturo vidalwho suffered it from a distance.
At least in this tournament, the consensus of the Chilean public is that the referees harmed that team. The idea was captured on social networks after the defeat with the Argentina by 1 to 0, in the second game. And he turned to live in front of Canada.
The match against Scaloneta was left behind, but the conspiracy theory was revived by a powerful post on social networks: Medel, Boca player and historic member of La Roja, made a harsh post that he accompanied with an eloquent video.
In the image you can see how a Canadian player elbows Rodrigo Echeverria and does not even receive a warning. Before, in just 27 minutes, Gabriel Suazo He had received two yellow cards that earned him the game.
“They keep stealing and shitting on us,” he wrote and added 10 emojis that represent fury, without adding anything other than the video with the blow ignored by the referee Wilmar Roldan.
In that same vein, King Arthur, who bellowed against Conmebol on Instagram, was dispatched with two explosive posts. In one, the current Colo-Colo player complained about Roldán.
“Stealing again, always the same,” the former Barcelona man complained, putting a photo of the referee in the foreground and dedicating another volley of emojis to him.
Rodrigo Echeverría, also against the referees
Soccer player Rodrigo Echeverría stated this Saturday that the Chilean team could not “do anything” to avoid elimination in the group stage of the Copa América due to the decisions of Colombian referee Wilmar Roldán.
The Huracán player declared himself outraged by the expulsion of Suazo, in his opinion unfair, as well as by the permissiveness of the Colombian Roldán with the rough play of the Canadians, who qualified for the quarterfinals with a goalless draw.
“The refereeing issue is complex and the problems with him (Roldán) have arisen in several games, and we cannot do anything about that. The others are called for fouls, and we are called for expulsion fouls,” said the 29-year-old player.
