Jhonny Vásquez reproached the referee for an apparent “mockery” of Pereira

Atlético Nacional took one more Super League title last Thursdaywhen he came back from a high-voltage game against Deportivo Pereira and took the ‘artillery’ out of his heavy shirt. Those directed by Paulo Autuori ‘appeased’ the crisis and sealed the title °32 in their showcaseswhich means a potosí in the middle of the questions towards the Brazilian DT.

In spite of everything, nobody took away what was danced from Pereira. The ‘Matecañas’ starred in a fine soccer match and made the paisas look very bad in the development of the match. At least they were much superior in the first stage and, later, with Autuori’s rethinking, the balance tipped the other way.

Of course, the party left arbitration controversies and decisions that the visiting players did not like so much. The referee of the match, Bismarks Santiago, was the target of criticism and strong crosses at the end of the game.

What did Jhonny Vásquez say?

Through the press conference after the match, the midfielder and captain of the last league champion, Jhonny Vásquez did not hide his discomfort with the arbitration.

He alleged that, beyond any fact that sparked the controversy (a stomp on Angelo Rodríguez, for example), Bismarks Santiago himself would have mocked them and the fact seemed unacceptable, so he demanded some respect from the Risaraldense club.

“We competed, we played an excellent game. On the subject of arbitration, it is worth mentioning that a little more respect for the institution, for the club and for the fans.

It is not possible that despite what he has whistled, he continues with a smile, mocking. This is not healthy because it is football and we represent a city and a fan. Not to make fun of us. We demand respect.”

After all, Pereira’s presentation left the fans a lot of expectations for everything to come. The group and some reinforcements fit into the squad, and of course they trust that the ‘Matecañas’ have a great performance in the Copa Libertadores, as well as in the defense of the league title.
