In Uruguay on date 8 of the Apertura,
Miramar Misiones
and
Nacional
faced each other . The victory was for the
Tricolores
by two goals to one, but it had the special addition that was the return as coach of
Ricardo Caruso Lombardi
from
Cebrita
. The Argentine team is 14 of 16 with eight points.
The Argentine team began the match by winning with a goal from
Alexander Machado
, at the end of the first half Nacional tied and in the second half the
VAR
annulled the possibility for
Richard
's team to take the lead. At the end of the match,
Bolso
turned it around with a goal from Paraguayan
Federico Santander
.
Once the match was over, an angry Caruso Lombardi with the annulment of Miramar's second goal spoke to Tenfield: "
They didn't want to charge it
, it is at least 30 centimeters enabled unless they have made the lines like in Argentina where they make them with the curves to not make them straight."
Caruso accused that they do not respect the small teams and asked "
why do they hurt a small team so that a big team does not lose
." Miramar Misiones is a relatively young team since it emerged from the merger of Miramar and Misiones in 1980. From there it went up and down between the First and Second divisions of
Uruguay
.
"They can't hurt a locker room, now
I have all the kids dead
, I can't lift them up with anything, tell me what I do now to lift the team," said Caruso in relation to the defeat against Nacional and added that "they have to respect to the kids who
played a great game against Nacional
."
The referee of the match was
Hernán Heras
and the person in charge of the VAR was
Christian Ferreyra
. Caruso continued with his defense against the VAR and said: "Enough with the VAR, don't come to me with the VAR,
I know that the VAR is tricky
." The play in question occurred in the 75th minute when Ignacio Yepes gave a filtered pass to Machado who ended up finishing over the goalkeeper. However, the assistant, according to the VAR, would be in an advanced position.

"The fans who were watching him told me 'look Ricardo, he's not off side', if the fans realize it, the one from the VAR who is sitting
smoking a
faso
with a whiskey
, doesn't he realize?", expressed the coach and He once again asked for respect for the players, coaching staff and fans "who come and get
cold
."
On the other hand, Caruso also attacked the highest authority of the game and said: "The referee charged a single foul in favor of Miramar Misiones, don't put it directly on the calendar,
let's not play
, so we are going to waste time concentrating two days "
We make the club lose money
."
"They told me that Hernán is a good guy, that he is a referee who is on the rise, but if he is a good guy
I am going to eat a barbecue with him
, not that he directs me," said Caruso Lombardi. He also referred to the time he added once the 90 minutes were reached: "He gave 6 minutes of stoppage time and the game was stopped for 5 minutes only with the goal, of those 6 minutes only 5 were played.
Was he afraid that we would tie it?
"

According to Caruso, the referee stopped him two plays at the end to collect a foul and said: "When Yepes took it from Ayala and he was alone with the goalkeeper, they did not give him the hands to collect, he
almost swallowed his whistle
" and added that " There is a lack of credibility and we will never have it because unfortunately
football is rotten
.”
"I'm going back to football because as a journalist I got bored of seeing so many atrocities and today I see the same thing again,
they don't respect the small teams
," Caruso told him. The coach spent three years without directing, his last team was Belgrano de Córdoba, but during his time off the fields he was a panelist on
TN Deportivo
.
The journalist, trying to put a cold shoulder, asked him why he decided to go to Uruguay as a destination to coach again and he replied: "I came to Uruguayan football because I like the Uruguayan player, the drive they have, now
the welcome was this
,
the truth is,
mommy." Dear
".
He also asked him if he would direct again in Argentina and Caruso was blunt with his answer. "In Argentina I'm not even the least bit excited about directing again,
it's clear that the one over there
(through Tapia) sent orders to the one here, they told him 'if Caruso appears there, smoke it in a pipe', the truth is that there comes a time when you distrust your shadow," he said.
Caruso will have to do the impossible to be able to lift the Miramar Misiones
team
because the tournament continues and on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. he will have to face
Deportivo Maldonado
with the intention of adding three and thus being able to climb the standings.
