Stuffy

Bet all your chips in the legal way. Therefore, this Tuesday morning he extended his claim to the

Conmebol

so that they can win the end of the

Libertadores Cup

which was suspended Saturday, after a thousand and a half times at the Monumental. The 26 pages of the document he had access to
THE NATION, they reinforce the club's position: the Conmebol Disciplinary Tribunal must apply the same criteria as in 2015, when it disqualified Boca from the Copa Libertadores for pepper spray aggression from the players of

River.

The institution chaired by Daniel Angelici believes that his school was victim Saturday of a "cowardly and orchestrated aggression" last Saturday. And he believes that "the injuries suffered by the players of Boca were even more serious than those suffered by the River players in 2015". In short, Boca's vision is that "the party has been denatured forever". He adds: "To play the match in a week or ten days after experiencing these scenes of uncertainty and barbarism would imply a very clear sporting disadvantage for our club."

"The game," says the letter presented by Angelici and Cristian Gribaudo, secretary general of the club xeneize, "if it was played, it would not be the same." Even the formations could be modified according to the lived situations, other injured players in both teams they could recover and play, after the position of River and admitted by the Disciplinary Tribunal in 2015, the game can not nor must "In addition to the text, Boca presented a USB key filled with movies and photos that prove the badaults on his bus in the surrounding area. Monumental Entrance And also documents that validate the injuries that caused these incidents in football players.The medical part of Dr. Pablo Ortega Gallo reports various injuries and discomforts on eleven footballers of the team because of the Impact of projectiles and gases released by the police.

The document also includes two reports bearing the signature of Ivan Tcherkaski, a psychologist at the school. The first was written on Saturday: "The psycho-emotional state of the players is not the right one to face a sports competition of such magnitude, which could affect not only the physical performance, but also the Future psychopathological future ". The professional writes the next day in the same line: "[Todo lo vivido el día anterior] engendered in the players a deconcentration, an irritability, anguish, leaving them without a good capacity of emotional reaction to take the decisions that are required for the resolution of the situations that can arise in a context of competition also physical and emotional ".

The responsibility of the river

In another section of the document, Boca explains why River is a "responsible goal" (that is, that he has to face charges arising from this responsibility) for incidents that occurred at the time. arrival of the Boca campus and during the transfer of Pablo Pérez and Gonzalo. Lamardo at the Otamendi shrine. It is for this reason that, according to Boca's lawyers, the Disciplinary Tribunal should apply the same criteria as in 2015 when it had declbadified the contest judges. "The lack of guilt on the part of the club does not exclude the responsibility of clubs for incidents caused by their supporters, because it is a case of attribution of strict liability, that is to say, suppression of the notion of fault, "said Boca. He added: "It has been shown that the perpetrators were supporters of the CA River Plate, which is why the club is objectively responsible for all incidents."

In his plea, Boca saves the disciplinary court's decision after the Flamengo fans provoked incidents at the Independiente hotel in Rio de Janeiro. It was the night before the final of the Copa Sudamericana 2017. It was actually a worsening of the sentence inflicted on Flamengo (fine of $ 300,000 and two games in camera). "The fact that it was neither in the stadium nor in the vicinity did not prevent the attribution of responsibility to the club whose supporters generated the incidents," Boca explains.

The bottom of the river

In another point in the documentation, Boca talks about River's "recidivism" in disciplinary offenses. "The Atlético River Plate club has already been sanctioned several times for various problems, including the use of fireworks and flashing lights in different games, which also constitute very serious infractions. serious sports discipline, "said Boca. And he provides a list of 15 disciplinary files. Finally, and to graphically represent a "clear recurrence situation" River, Boca recalls the two cases of doping suffered by the millionaire club at the Copa Libertadores last year (the positive points of Camilo Mayada and Lucas Martínez Cuarta) .

"The alliance of gentlemen"

The expansion of Boca is also seeking to discredit the validity of the so-called "pact of the knights", the famous document signed by Angelici, Alejandro Dominguez and Rodolfo D'Onofrio before postponing the game from Saturday to Sunday. "One can not consider as conform to reality a letter that reads" the Boca Juniors Club bus a few meters from the entrance to the Club Stadium safety ring, River Plate was hit by a the Xeneize club, a document signed in a limited situation can not be valid for a president who seeks to protect the situation of his team, in a context of intense pressure to play at all costs in a deeply hostile environment, where Boca's players have been reduced and seriously "threatened in his integrity," adds Boca, and he recalls that "even the president of River" had to leave a journalistic interview (with Fox Sports) to protect his physical integrity.

Incidents outside the security ring

When describing the impacts and aggressions that Boca's microphone suffered, the club describes in its extension that "the impacts received were multiple and very serious, produced by many blunt objects and gas reservoirs. [Y] they have occurred since the group started the last line towards the ring, nearby, until the doors of it, clearly inside the ring of security (…). The ambulance that moved the Boca players was also hit by the projectiles at the stadium gates. "

In addition to recalling the testimony of the bus that settled on campus, Boca adds that "the incidents continued during the descent of the bus and even inside the locker room, where players and other members from the delegation have lived long hours of anxiety difficult to overcome ".
