Flaco Schiavi’s reaction when they showed him live an elbow of his equal to Zambrano’s: “In that game I hit all of Racing”

Still talking about nudge of Carlos Zambrano a Ignacio Master Puch at the end of the match Boca Juniors beat Atlético Tucumán 2-1 and that was not charged by the referee Fernando Espinoza, who then gave his explanations. The Dean’s players exploded with anger and on Monday a similar move was recalled between a former Xeneize player in a match against Racing in the same area as the incident on Sunday. the protagonist was Rolando Schiaviwho wielded why his reaction was not a foul and was not charged by the referee.

The play of the archive was remembered in the program ESPN F360, where Schiavi is a panelist. It is from a decade ago, from the 2012 Initial Tournament, in a classic against the Academy in La Bombonera in which Boca Juniors won 3-1. El Flaco acknowledged that he had to resort to friction due to the complications that the then Racing kids generated for him, Luciano Vietto, Ricardo Centurión, Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Fariña.

With Vietto he had an instance in which he went to cross the striker and, although he manages to reject, it is seen how he raises his right arm and elbows the opponent, despite the fact that he denies that there was a foul. However, in the two angles of the repetitions, it is seen how he hits the face of the academic player. It was in the same area as Zambrano’s action, also on the right side, but close to the goal line. Even the colors of the opponent’s shirt were similar.

“I get the ball. He bumps into my elbow. It’s his fault, I reject”said Schiavi, who even got upset at the insistence of his program partners, who indicated that it was criminal. “It’s different from Zambrano’s, old man!” He sentenced, raising his voice. His argument was based on the fact that the Racing player is going towards him.

Zambrano’s elbow to Maestro Puch

“I wasn’t expecting anything to happen. I think that game I hit all the Racing guys because the kids were flying. I felt that it was necessary to go strong, but with good milk”, recognized Schiavi. Some of the boys from that Racing team were champions two years later in the Transition Tournament.

One of those who disagreed with Schiavi was the journalist Guillermo Poggi, who told the former soccer player, “they should have charged you a penalty.” El Flaco pretended not to understand and reproached him, “why? Where was the fault? You are crazy”.

In the run-up to that match against Racing, Schiavi received a plaque for completing 250 games with the Boca Juniors shirt. At that time he was one of the main references of that team and idol of the fans. In that 2012 tournament, Boca Juniors finished fifth and the champion was Vélez. That championship was the last one played by Flaco as a professional, since he later accompanied him to Martin Palermo in Godoy Cruz where he was his field assistant.

His move with Vietto was compared to that of Zambrano with Maestro Puch, which brought a lot of controversy on Sunday night since a penalty should have been charged and it would have been the draw of the Tucuman team who, despite the defeat, kept the top of the Professional League. .
