Tension Rises: Miguel Russo’s Confrontation with Journalist After Rosario Central’s Defeat against Mineiro

Miguel Russo’s encounter with a journalist after the defeat against Mineiro

Rosario Central lost 1-0 with Atlético Mineiro on the fourth day of Group G of the Copa Libertadores and was complicated in its fight to qualify for the round of 16 of the competition. All the disappointment remained in the Canalla for not having been able to achieve a victory that would keep it in second place in an area that registered the first team that got a ticket for the final draw: the Galo got 12 points out of 12 and is already thinking about the next one phase. With the anger in tow, Miguel Ángel Russo was involved in a confrontation with a journalist in the middle of a press conference.

The Auriazul coach did not like the tone of the reporter’s question at all and went with the plugs. “When you went to the break in the first half, did you feel that they had taken it cheaply because of all the play that Mineiro had played and how hard it had been for them to respond?” was the question that got Russo out of control. It is worth mentioning, the Brazilians had had several scoring chances including a free kick off the crossbar by Hulk and a couple of brilliant saves by Fatura Broun.

“Look, it’s your opinion of ‘get it cheap, get it expensive’, it seems to me that football is not that. Football, when you do an analysis, are not words, ‘you got it cheap, you got it expensive’, football is something else. We knew that the rival has a lot of possession, there is no doubt. With the players he has and the form and dynamics he has. We knew that the first half was going to be harder and then we were going to have more relief in the second half. But ‘you got it expensive, you got it cheap’ is your opinion and it is very much that of a poor journalist, it is not an exclusive and different journalist,” was Miguel’s response, obviously disgusted by the expression.

Immediately, the reporter wanted to clarify that he had no intention of disrespecting him and the coach tried to cut the dialogue short. The following dialogue occurred:

―It is a popular term and a term that can be applied…

-It is offensive.

-No no no.

―There, leave it there.

“No, Miguel, no. It was in no way offensive.

“Leave it there, ready, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

―It’s a popular expression, nothing more.

―When we use expressions, let them be of another form and another way.

Central will debut this Friday night against Argentinos Juniors (9:15 p.m.) in La Paternal for the Professional League and then will host Caracas on Thursday the 16th for the penultimate day of the group stage of the Libertadores (it will be with the public after having purged a sanction for the attack against a Peñarol footballer at the premiere in Rosario). A win at home will be vital to have a chance of reaching the final in Montevideo against Manya on Tuesday 5/28.
