Peverengo: Colón risk points deduction for misconduct or violence | OneFootball

"We must never relax and we should work calmly and taking care of the fan. Sunday's match is a complex one and Saturday's match is a different one, as it will surely be experienced as a celebration. That's why, two operations were planned but the focus was on the one for Colón," said the provincial official.

Regarding Sunday's match between Colón and Deportivo Morón, the number of officers will be 345, the same as in previous matches. "The number of police officers is not increased, only operational issues are modified. We have a clear message: we are convinced that we have a very good operation for both matches," said Peverengo.

The general warning is that "we ask for good behavior from people who attend the stadium on Sunday. If there are misconduct and violence, points can be taken away from Colón and that's the worst that can happen. We understand how football is lived in these weeks because we know and live in the city, but the main victim will not be Godano, Magdalena, Abraham or Vignatti, but the club. And even with the deduction of points. We have a very good operation, but violence should never be above reason. And no matter how good an operation we have, we need, for its success, the good behavior of people".

When asked about the release of the three detainees in the incidents that occurred on Monday at the 4th of June premises - which was later moved to the headquarters with the request for explanations from members and supporters to some members of the board of directors -, Peverengo said that "they were released because they had no previous records. And I want to make it clear that we feel supported by the work of the MPA and the justice system in general. Monday's was a self-convened meeting, we knew there could be a focus of conflict due to a message that circulated on social networks, so we arranged for police surveillance. From Colón's private security, we were also informed that they wanted to forcefully enter the premises. The police acted, there were detainees and that has now been handed over to justice," said the official.

He also admitted that at the meeting with the support group that was formed with political candidates in the last elections and people from the sabalera leadership, a note was presented to request that the entrance with percussion elements be allowed at the stadium on Sunday. "The groups presented a note to review a current situation regarding the restriction of flags and percussion elements. We always accompany and want the celebration of football, we understand that it will not be modified, because a note was presented and there are other formalities that must be complied with. We committed ourselves anyway to raise the request to the security area of the Ministry which is the one that will determine," said Peverengo.

Regarding Sunday's match, it should be noted that Colón has a serious and immediate precedent. It was in that match with Mitre from Santiago del Estero, when the incidents that occurred that night led to the suspension of the match with 11 minutes left to play. The quick intervention of the sabalera leadership and the good disposition found in the visiting delegation and the referee, led to the order from Afa to continue the match the next day and finish it, when, in reality, everything should have been left in the hands of the Disciplinary Tribunal. Then, that Tribunal requested the report from the referee, the Security authorities, Colón and Mitre, to determine that there was no sports sanction for the red and black institution. The speculations, at that time, indicated the possibility of closing the stadium. But that didn't happen. And Colón, as they say in football jargon, got off "cheap", but setting a precedent that should be taken into account. That's why, both from the leadership and from this support group in which almost the entire political spectrum of the club participates, good behavior is requested from the public that will attend the Brigadier López on Sunday, on an afternoon that could give Colón the long-awaited salvation and the relief that everyone hopes will occur amid so much anguish for the poor campaign that the team has carried out.
