Brenda Bianchi slams Holan: “Winning in the office is shameful” | OneFootball

Before the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura, Estudiantes made a decision that caused quite a stir: the players turned their backs on Rosario Central during the guard of honor for having been ‘League Champions’, a title that was awarded on Thursday after an AFA Executive Committee meeting. Ariel Holan, coach of the Canalla, expressed his discontent with Pincha’s actions and received a response from Brenda Bianchi, daughter of Carlos and partner of Eduardo Domínguez, coach of the team from La Plata.

“I don’t think it was fair, first because this was a decision made by all the AFA authorities, with witnesses—surely not everyone is lying, everyone agreed. That recognition, which can be debated, because in Argentina everyone thinks they’re holy, everyone’s a champion when it comes to pointing out what others do wrong. Everyone is free to have an opinion, but when that freedom turns into disrespect and unsportsmanlike conduct, it hurts because we’re colleagues in this profession,” fired the coach.

In this scenario, Brenda Bianchi echoed these statements and responded with a post on Instagram. “I feel represented by this squad. 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’ merits

In addition to his anger over the ‘back-turned’ 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 tough. We didn’t have many chances, but we couldn’t capitalize. When they scored first, it made the opposing defense even tougher. You get 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 wasn’t our best day, that’s clear,” he said.

“I think Estudiantes barely had a shot on goal. Central had an extraordinary tournament, but it’s not a superhero, it needs a structure, and due to Estudiantes’ merit, it couldn’t showcase its qualities. There are important players coming back from injuries, and Nacho (Malcorra) was suspended. There were things that happened internally and affected us during this match, but the team made a huge effort,” he concluded.
