Argentina submit 11 page formal referee complaint

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 10:17:12 +0000

Argentina’s football federation has made a formal complaint to CONMEBOL criticising the standard of refereeing during their 2-0 defeat to Brazil in the Copa America semi-final.

In a six-page letter to the South American confederation, Argentina complained that VAR was not used to check two decisions that could have lead to penalties for fouls on Sergio Aguero and Nicolas Otamendi.

Aguero appeared to be fouled by Dani Alves during the game, and Argentina were unhappy after no penalty was awarded when Otamendi went down in the box following a challenge from Arthur.

Brazil won the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino, and following the game Argentina forward Lionel Messi blamed the defeat on the performance of Zambranol.

PSG forward Neymar has been replaced as Brazil captain for next month’s Copa America by fellow PSG team-mate Dani Alves.

In a statement released on Monday, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said: “Daniel Alves will be captain of the Brazilian national team in the friendly matches against Qatar and Honduras and in Copa America Brazil 2019. The decision was communicated to Neymar by Tite on Saturday.”

Brazil coach Tite had named Neymar as permanent captain a few months after Brazil’s World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Belgium last year, but has been under pressure to replace the 27-year-old due to his disciplinary issues.
