After the defeat against Racing, Independiente won on penalties in copa Argentina to Central Norte de Salta and the author of the goal of the tie, Domingo Blanco, sent to silence the grandstand in the goal celebration making the gesture of silence, which he explained, was for those who threatened him. In this sense, once the classification to 16th is consummated. Finally, he commented: “The gesture was for those who threatened to shoot me. Not for the fan, that if he took it badly, I apologize and tell him that I was wrong.” When the situation got complicated and the Salta team was winning, the controversial midfielder launched a strong cross that established the 1-1. Seconds later, he put his index finger in his mouth and made the gesture of silence looking at the rostrum and kissing the shield.
He also insisted: “I want to say it wasn’t for the fan. It was (the gesture) for those who threatened me, they sent me threatening messages about the issue of the renewal of my contract.” The former Defense and Justice has not yet renewed his contract, which expires in June, and began 2022 with a severe injury to his right knee that had him off the court for 45 days. I had a very bad time. I had to be medicated with very strong pills because of this situation of threats. The common fan, perhaps, does not know, but it was never in my spirit to disrespect him,” he clarified and added: “I understand that many people want me to stay, but from there to threatening to hit me if I do not sign the renewal is very ugly.” Finally, he concluded by recalling that he has been at the Avellaneda club “for seven years and I always wanted to stay here. Whether I renew or not I don’t know yet. I hope that a meeting with my representative can take place during this week.”
