translated from Spanish: Arruabarrena and pepper spray: “The matches end on the court and that’s not.”

Rodolfo Arruabarrena was not only the boca coach who lived one of the most pitiful episidics of the Copa Libertadores and Argentine football within a playing field, but was always remembered for his reaction to a cross of words of Rodolfo D’Onofrio, president of River, within the court. In an interview for TyC Sports, the “Vasco” spoke of the phrase that over the years transcended at the time when the “Millionaire” decided not to play the game for players clearly affected by the pepper spray they threw into the mouth of the sleeve.” Let’s go that on this court you can’t play,” were the words D’Onofrio would have said and that he had unleashed the ruin of Arruabarrena, which must have been contained after an interview in La Bombonera. Over the years, he always made it clear that he should have played.

“The matches are over on the court and that match didn’t end on the court, but well, it was. At the time I thought that phrase wasn’t appropriate, period. Then everyone knows what he said, everyone knows their opinion, and that’s it,” the coach in Dubai, said, in tannery. Regarding his coaching career, he says his stay on another continent was not marked by that night in 2015. “I have had offers from Argentina, Chile and Mexico, but at the time I decided to come here and, for different reasons, sportingly speaking I am fine, but to go to training in Europe have changed the regulations and here I have a name”.” My idea is to try in Spain, which is a league in which I spent eight years, that I have played and I do not know if it will touch me. For now I have to improve as a coach,” said former Villarreal, who dreams of having his chance in La Liga in a few years’ time.
