Brenda Bianchi slams Holan: "Winning a cup in an office is shameful" | OneFootball

In the lead-up to the round of 16 of the Clausura Tournament, Estudiantes made a decision that caused a strong stir: the players turned their backs on those from Rosario Central during the guard of honor for being 'League Champions', a title that was awarded on Thursday after a meeting of the AFA Executive Committee. Ariel Holan, coach of the Canalla, expressed his discontent with the actions of the Pincha and received a response from Brenda Bianchi, daughter of Carlos and partner of Eduardo Domínguez, coach of the team from La Plata.

"I think it wasn't fair, first because this was a decision by all the AFA authorities, with witnesses, not everyone is going to be a liar, everyone agreed. That recognition can be debated, because in Argentina everyone thinks they are perfect, everyone is a champion at pointing out what others do wrong. Everyone has the freedom to express their opinion, but when that freedom turns into disrespect and unsportsmanlike behavior, it hurts because we are colleagues," the Professor stated.

In response to this situation, Brenda Bianchi echoed these statements and replied with a post on Instagram. "I feel represented by this team. You should be ashamed to walk into an office and come out with a trophy. Keep quiet 'Mr. Professor'," she declared in her Instagram stories.

Holan also downplayed Estudiantes' achievements

Besides his anger over the 'backwards guard of honor', Ariel Holan, coach of Rosario Central, downplayed the victory of Eduardo Domínguez's Estudiantes. "Estudiantes played defensively and on the counterattack, these types of matches are complex. We didn't have many chances but couldn't capitalize on them. Them opening the scoring exacerbates the opponent's defense. One gets anxious, we tried with substitutions, different alternatives. The fairest result would have been a draw, but it didn't happen. Unfortunately, we had the hope of reaching the final, and today we didn't have our best afternoon, that's clear," he stated.

"I think Estudiantes practically didn't have a shot on goal. Central had an extraordinary tournament, but it's not a superhero, it needs a framework, due to Estudiantes' merit, it couldn't develop its qualities. There are important players returning from injuries, and Nacho (Malcorra) was suspended. There were things that happened internally and affected us in this match, but the team made a huge effort," he concluded.
