Tobar and reactions of the UC after feeling harmed: “If they have doubts, the easiest thing is to complain”

The Chilean referee, Roberto Tobar, spoke with Radio Cooperativa where he referred to his role in the UC match against Santiago Wanderers and the reactions that the Crusaders had when they felt harmed by their performance during the match. For example, the Zampedri Bull posted a photo on his social networks and writes “against everything and against everyone”, alluding to some plot against him. To which Tobar pointed out that “we are exposed to many things as referees, it is a complex profession, and we have to be prepared to receive all kinds of criticism or we would have to dedicate ourselves to another activity, we are aware that we make mistakes, when the suspicion begins as long as it is not of a player on the pitch, we will be prepared for any kind of criticism, the referee has to prepare. We can only learn from these mistakes and improve professionally.” I have been in this activity for 20 years, I have lived and also read through judicial processes that have gone through Conmebol, and if they have that doubt, the easiest thing is to sue,” he added. The FIFA referee said “that the PDI, the FBI, come, that an investigation be made if they have the proof. We are ready to have our calls and emails recorded. I have no problem and it would be the most transparent, so we are all calm” “in a clear and open way, that they do an investigation and this is over, but I want to talk about football, interpretations of the rule, players. This issue gives me the same, I have to do my job well,” he added. Finally, he acknowledged that he was wrong in the charge that expelled the striker from the strip. “I am giving the face, I am saying that I was wrong in the second warning of Zampedri and as I said before, everyone owns the things he says, I am dedicated to the professional, to continue with my career and try not to make mistakes like the ones I made yesterday, nothing more,” he closed.
