The exclusion of the Leon of the FIFA Club World Cup continues to reverberate in Mexico. Now, it was the turn of the team coach, Eduardo Berizzo, to make harsh criticism of the situation.
At a news conference after the defeat of Pamas for the clausura, the Argentine commander charged more support from the Mexican Football Federation to the local club.
“I think FMF should support the qualified team much more, which are us, and not think of substitutes. I would like to hear the federation defend us, as the President of Concacaf did, and it is strange that it did not happen,” said Berizzo, who took the opportunity to send a message to Mikel Arriola, president of FMF.
“I would like the president of the Federation to defend his teams who qualified for the World Cup, and I can’t imagine who could replace León,” he added.
America-MEX x LAFC for vacancy in the World Cup
With León’s departure, between America, Mexico, and Los Angeles FC of the United States, to determine who will have the place in the World Cup.
The possible duel left Eduardo Berizzo in the scolding with America. For the León commander, the club is totaling the situation in the higher instances to resume the vacancy.
“Substitutes who raise their hands to play matches and take the place of another team seem to me a curiously vile gesture. I trust that TAS (arbitral cut) will review what was decided and restore our right to go to the World Cup,” he concluded.
