It’s always hard to lose, no matter what. Argentina National Team has been winning everything it plays for several years and has not faced a complex rival, such as Colombiaand must have played with the high temperatures that the afternoon in Barranquilla offered. However, What caused the most anger was not the 2-1 against but the momentous refereeing errorsas expressed Leandro Paredes.
“For me, on the pitch, it wasn’t a penalty. Nico (for Otamendi) dives forward,” The midfielder, who was once again a starter in the coffee-growing country, began by saying this when referring to the play that allowed James Rodríguez to score the winning goal for his team. He also went further with the decisions of the Chilean referee, Piero Maza. “The strange thing is that I haven’t seen Julian’s”he said about a first-half play involving the Atlético Madrid striker and goalkeeper Camilo Vargas in the Colombian area.
As for the result itself, Paredes tried to normalize the score against. “It’s part of football, we don’t like it because we play to win, but we are aware that we can lose.. We played against a great rival and on a very difficult pitch,” he said. Even though he did not elaborate on the analysis, he highlighted the level of the Scaloneta: “Apart from the penalty decision, it was a close game. The heat? It’s no excuse, even though we’re not used to it.”.
