Pedro Troglio blasted the press after Banfield's draw | OneFootball

Banfield coach Pedro Troglio expressed his displeasure with the journalists who called for his resignation as coach of the team from the southern Greater Buenos Aires area, and told them to their faces: “you are bad people.”

Despite the journalists’ calls, Troglio’s continuity at Banfield was never in doubt, according to sources from the club in the south of Buenos Aires province who confirmed it to Noticias Argentinas Agency.

“I’m upset with many of you, with many who have called for my head. This is really bad behavior, really bad behavior. Because someone can criticize, give their opinion about football, but not call for a coach’s head, not ask for someone to lose their job. You’re journalists, guys. And many of you are here. You are journalists,” Pedro Troglio said firmly at a press conference.

“So you’re not people who can allow yourselves the luxury of getting someone fired. Because I don’t come here and say: ‘Fire one of these guys who asks all kinds of questions.’ I’ve been respectful from the first day I arrived here, and I think you are acting in a way that I do not deserve. If you have problems with other people, you don’t have to involve me,” he added.

“I want to make this clear because I’m leaving angry,” Pedrito continued. “Because I read, you know? And honestly, I brush it off, but it makes me mad that they call for a person’s head. Because I’m not some kid, I’m 61 years old, guys. I’m a football coach, this is what I do, and I come every day to work, I’m not getting paid, and I’m busting my back like crazy.

“So for them to call for my head... and many who aren’t even here either, who hide, who don’t even dare to come... So they should be careful with that because I’m good up to a certain point, up to a certain point. After that, honestly, I come... I don’t even feel like it. If we had won, I wouldn’t even have come. I’m coming to...” he concluded.
