Matias Almeyda questions disallowed goal and reaffirms commitment to Rayados
Manager Matias Almeyda addressed the controversial officiating after the loss to Atletico San Luis and denied rumors linking him to River Plate.
Following the defeat against Atletico San Luis, Rayados manager Matias Almeyda questioned the officiating decision that led to a disallowed goal for his team. The incident, which occurred when the score was tight, proved pivotal in the match's outcome, yet Almeyda noted that he did not seek an explanation from the refereeing staff.
I didn't know they had called a foul in our favor. I didn't understand, it wasn't understood. Supposedly, if they canceled the goal, it was because it was our foul and play should have gone the other way. But well, there's always a first time. But I don't dwell on that. What happened, happened. Matias Almeyda
During the press conference, the Argentine coach also addressed speculation regarding a potential move to River Plate. He made it clear that his commitment to the Mexican club is not tied to any release clause, emphasizing his personal code of ethics.
Who knows me? There's no need to ask me anything. In Mexico, they already know me. I am a man of my word. I don't have a rescission clause, I have my word. I don't have to clarify anything. I have managed myself this way since I was 15 years old. My commitment is here and there is no need to clarify anything. Matias Almeyda
