For example, last April, the goalkeeper criticized the whistler’s work Henry Bejarano during the duel between America and Olympia, where Jesus Lopez suffered a fibula fracture.

It is not possible for this type of arbitration to exist To date and you do not expect it from a referee like this one from Costa Rica who you think can be up to the task and more in an area like this. Concacaf asks that it be given the necessary importance and we want to give it, but when it puts your health and integrity at risk it is complicated and difficult, from minute one the referee allowed everything: stomps, tackles, even a fracture allowed, and us the first time direct yellow foul, it’s a shame Concacaf allows this and that he never manifests himself about it, “said the goalkeeper at the time.
