What did Aguero say?
It is claimed that Aguero made the following statement on Twitch in response to the penalty decision: ‘How can he, the referee, what the f**k is his name… Yael Falcon Perez.
‘Listen to me, Yael Falcon, that name is a disaster. You can say [the penalty], ‘it starts outside and ends up inside‘.
‘But he goes on to say ‘where the first contact is made is where the foul is called. The truth is that he’s ready to kick the s**t out of this fathead.‘
AS reports that the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport is investigating Aguero over the alleged comments he made on Twitch.
‘Comments made by the former soccer player, internationally recognised as a supporter of Independiente, Sergio Leonel Aguero, have come out in the media, in relation to the work carried out by the referee Yael Falcon Perez in the match in question, in which there was a disputed play that led to a penalty in favour of the visiting club,‘ said the agency head Eduardo Aparicio.
‘It is necessary to mention that his comments towards the referring authority – aggressive and demeaning – clearly contravene the current regulations on sports safety, and could be interpreted as instigating violence.
‘[There have been] threats received by referee Yael Falcon Perez and his family, [and] flares launched at his mother’s home.‘
Furthermore, this is not the first time that the former striker has found himself in hot water over his remarks on the platform. He previously faced criticism for discussing the dollarisation of Argentina’s economy and was also involved in a spat with Zlatan Ibrahimovic earlier this year.
As of now, neither Aguero nor his representatives have issued any public statement regarding the current allegations.
