Carlos Zambrano spoke after being sanctioned for fighting with Dario Benedetto: “I do not agree”

Boca Juniors defender Carlos Zambrano spoke today about the punch fight he starred in with Dario Benedetto during halftime of the match with Racing and the sanction that was applied to both players. It has not been anything serious, it was just a swelling,” Zambrano said of the state of his face, exclusively with the Peruvian media Trome.  He added: “It was a gauntlet, I didn’t expect it… The companions grabbed us immediately. In the dressing room, he apologized to me. I held back.” Regarding the sanction he received for the altercation with his partner, the defender said: “I do not agree, because I am taking it for free. It’s not fair, I didn’t do anything, I feel uncomfortable, but it only remains to accept.” It is worth mentioning that the institution issued a statement about what happened and decided to punish the players. “The Boca Juniors Athletic Club, after the events that happened last Sunday, informs that the players Dario Benedetto and Carlos Zambrano will not be part of the first team squad in the next two games,” they said from the “Xeneize”. The two matches in which they will not be present are against Rosario Central on Wednesday night and next Sunday away against Defense and Justice.
