Two days after the controversial suspension of the match that Colo Colo and Deportes Antofagasta had to play, on Saturday, at the Monumental stadium, the president of the ANFP, Pablo Milad, tried to explain the facts.
The first thing he did was refer to the denial of the Ministry of Health, which ruled out that it had suspended the duel between the Cacique and the Pumas, as the Quilín headquarters had assured in a statement on the morning of the meeting. At the same time, he assured that the albos risk losing the points.
“The decision is subject to the statement given, in relation to the Colo Colo campus, with its 48 members who traveled. We are talking about 24 players and the entire coaching staff remaining in quarantine. And that means the suspension of the match, because there is no possibility that Colo Colo can present another team. Now, regardless of that, the possibility that Colo Colo could lose the three points or the rescheduling will be evaluated “, He said.
“Antofagasta is asking for the three points. Will be evaluated. Today at the board of directors meeting we are going to gather all the information for this to take it to the Disciplinary Court and determine if there was direct intention of Colo Colo; if there is direct responsibility of Colo Colo in the suspension of the party ”, added.
Milad assured that the albos violated the country’s sanitary regulations, in reference to the positive case of Covid-19 presented by a director of Blanco y Negro, whom he avoided naming, after arriving from Brazil after having played against Athlético Paranaense for the Copa Libertadores de América. “Here, the fact is that exempt resolution 722 was breached, where there were people in quarantine. To avoid any type of risk or virus emanation or contagion from the players, because nobody knew if the virus was present, it was decided to suspend the game, “he said.
Regarding whether that B & N manager risks a sanction, the Curican was emphatic. “Of course. I do not want to name the person, because it is prohibited by law. Those are cases that have to be evaluated. We are going to deliver all the information to the Court, which has to determine if it is rescheduled or if Colo Colo loses by demonstrating responsibility for these events. And also say that there are procedures and penalties that Colo Colo has failed to comply with that have a monetary penalty”He warned.
The ANFP board of directors will make the complaint today for the Court to investigate. Despite the fact that a specific penalty of subtracting points for breach of sanitary protocol is not contemplated in the bases, for the holder of Quilín this sanction falls on the powers of the legal body and on the faults that the Cacique could incur.
“This was not complemented, but the set of situations can lead to that and the Court has the powers to subtract points (…) Here there were no formal problems, there were time problems. Things were not done on time. We wouldn’t be talking about this if things had been done on time, like the Catholic one. The games ended with a gap of an hour or so. The distances were almost the same. Here there was planning, logistical problems and Colo Colo will determine the internal culprits, but here procedures and sanitary regulations of the country were violated “, he claimed.
Unlike what was communicated on Saturday by the ANFP itself, in relation to the fact that the game was suspended by Minsal, today Milad completely changed the speech and assured that it was the Quilín headquarters that made the decision.
“Exactly. We suspend it for safety, by people who were in quarantine, but one thing produces the other. If they tell you that the Colo Colo squad cannot be out of quarantine and there are players present, this implies a risk for the Antofagasta players and for the entire football environment of the stadium, this forces to suspend for comprehensive health safety of each of those who were present, “he said.
“When they tell you that a team is completely quarantined, what does that translate to at 9 o’clock in the morning: suspension. Now, they are in charge of saying who can and who cannot play when there is a protocol of an exempt resolution 722 from the Ministry of Health, with respect to all the people who enter the country. That is no longer our responsibility, but they have to tell us who are the people authorized to drive and play. And in this case, through an email and verbal conversation with the minister, they said that Colo Colo has to remain in quarantine until the complete traceability of the positive case and the close relationship they had with others is determined, “he justified. .
Regarding the late reaction of the ANFP, which took two days to come out to explain the denial made by the Minsal, Milad pointed out: “The answer today because we had to gather all the corresponding information. We cannot give information that is inconsistent in time and demonstrable that it is not. That is why we have declared today, when we have also had the claim of Antofagasta that has provided more information. We did not want to give hasty information “, He said.
According to the Quilín helmsman, Colo Colo did not make a mistake by not having an alternative team ready to play, for example, youth: “The PCR exams of the delegation that will participate in the match are required 72 hours before a match . At that time it could not be replaced by juveniles due to the fact that they did not have the determined exams, because they were not within the delegation that was going to participate in that game. Only the delegation that is contemplated is required to play. Regardless of the fact that the clubs do the PCR on Mondays every time there is a day off ”.
