The experienced Brazilian strategist continues to give strong statements in his new stage as a sports analyst. The representativeness of Ricardo Ferretti makes his comments have greater importance.
Tuca threw a dart at the azulcrema team by insinuating that They are generally helped by the refereeing body. Ricardo Ferretti expressed this position with the idea that it would be supported by Hugo Sánchez, former player of the azulcrema team.
“Many things happen in favor of the America that you say ‘Oh, wait for me’ Hey, you played there (Hugol), you know that suddenly the doubtful ones are in your favor, of America, even if you don’t deserve it, it’s the truth… I’m telling you, I played, I trained, and I know it’s like that“, assured Ricardo Ferretti on ESPN.

The former Real Madrid player left until the 1992-1993 Mexican soccer season. The semi-finals of the tournament were played and Hugo Sánchez recalled that Club América was eliminated by Rayados de Monterreybut under the dubious actions of the Costa Rican judge Berny Ulloa.
“I witnessed in a semifinal against Monterrey, that we were on track to reach the final against Atlante, Mexican soccer hired a Costa Rican referee for the first time in life and annulled two goals against us“Hugo Sánchez recalled.
