🚨 Efraín hits out at Cruz Azul: they've been most favoured in the play-offs
🚨 Efraín hits out at Cruz Azul: they've been most favoured in the play-offs Efraín Juárez took aim at Cruz Azul in the post-match press conference after the first leg of the Liga MX final, due to the complaints from La Máquina about the refereeing. Pumas head coach did not hold back and pointed out that Cruz Azul have been the team most favored by referees in this playoff: "I'm surprised that an institution as big as Cruz Azul always wants to gain an advantage from circumstances, when in this playoff they have been the most favored. " "We must not forget the 30th minute against Atlas, a handball and a penalty against them.
We must not forget Chivas' penalty, we must not forget Fernández's handball, which was called against me against América but not against them... and for them to still have the audacity to go and complain when they are here because of those circumstances, I find it unbelievable. " "Hopefully the network shows put up the images I'm talking about so that it's even, and that they also include the ruling," he said.
The problem arose after images circulated of Juárez with referee Daniel Quintero, tonight's official, in the semifinal against Pachuca, while telling him that he hoped he would officiate the final. Cruz Azul considered this an advantage and submitted a request to the Referees' Commission to change the referee appointment, as they viewed the above as an advantage for the Pumas side.
