It is necessary to emphasize the duel between Patriotas and the DIM, because in the last hours a great controversy arose. According to the Colombian journalist Javier Hernández Bonnet, the team led by Alfredo Arias will not play against the Boyaca team if the refereeing appointment of Nicolás Gallo does not change.
According to the sports communicator, the largest shareholder of the red team from the capital of the department of Antioquia, Raúl Giraldo, gave him the information. If the referee modification is made, Deportivo Independiente Medellín will play the match.
“Confirmed. Medellín will not appear if the Colombian Football Federation does not change the appointment of Nicolás Gallo to lead Patriotas-Medellín for the next date. The news was given to me by Raúl Giraldo, the largest shareholder. “Crisis in sight,” said the renowned journalist through his official X account.
The Colombian Football Federation is expected to give a response to the alleged request from Medellín, which is in a clear fight to qualify for the final phase of the Betplay League in the first half of the year.
Likewise, we are waiting to know if referee Nicolás Gallo will be modified from the game in question. Matchday 17 will close on Friday, April 19 with the game between Atlético Bucaramanga (already qualified) and Boyacá Chicó.
More from FPC: Carlos Antonio Vélez talks about the irregularity of Junior de Barranquilla
“Junior is the king of irregularity. He could die of hunger with a full refrigerator because he doesn’t have a doll, because he doesn’t manage time, because he can regulate loads, which is very different from what the game represents as such; One thing is the physical aspect, the distribution of loaves and fishes, and another thing is the game. And in the game there are gaps because if the coach is flat, the team is flat. He was saved from Envigado beating him, which is a thorn in his side,” Carlos Antonio Vélez openly stated on the Antena 2 program Palabras Mayores.
