They say not to do things that do not generate suspicion and on the eve of the most important definition in the Liga MX between Cougars against Blue Cross, the Referees Commission apparently would have granted the feline technician, Efraín Juárez, the appointment of referee Daniel Quintero.

Criticisms or doubts have been generated from a video that circulates on social networks where it is observed how the whistler Daniel Quintero receives the congratulations and congratulations of the Pumas coach, Efraín Juárez, where he supposedly mentions that he wishes they would schedule him for next Sunday’s final match against Cruz Azul.

The matter would not have passed as a simple comment, but it turns out that the Referees Commission headed by Juan Manuel Herrero and the Argentine Horacio Elizondo They granted the Pumas coach’s wish that Quintero Huitrón be appointed for next Sunday in the final duel at the Olimpico Universitario stadium.

Suspicions and criticism increased because the Referees Commission He ignored the World Cup whistlers César Ramos and Katia Itzel García, for these commitmentswhen it was thought that they were the two best cards to take charge of one of the two games or even in the last case, in both matches.

This designation has heated up the atmosphere because at Cruz Azul it is assured that they will present a challenge in order for the Referees Commission to reconsider the designations and at least in the second leg of the grand finale there will be a change of referee.

Both teams seek to take advantage of any aspect and in the case of arbitration, there is a history of Pumas requesting a change of referee when the whistler Luis Enrique Santander was designated for the semifinal duel against Pachuca, with César Ramos taking his place.

“I hope you whistle, wow.” Efraín Juárez telling Daniel Quintero that he should whistle the final.

The Referees Commission, indeed, designated Quintero for the return.
