Hernán Cristante explains if he was inciting violence in the Mexican soccer tragedy

In the video in question, which lasts a few seconds, the Querétaro coach is heard saying: "They're going to suspend the field, then we'll bust them outside, nothing happens guys."

Given the controversy generated by this video, the former goalkeeper decided to speak today at a press conference in which he gave his version of the events and explained why he said the words that appear in the video.

In his appearance before the press, the Querétaro coach was blunt about what he said and was recorded on video.

"They manipulate the information": Hernán Cristante explains what happened at the Corregidora Stadium

At the press conference, Cristante explained what he said happened:

"I put you in my perception, there were a couple of cells, you could see an attempt on one side, on the other side another, they began to go to the side, I tried to tell the line, the referee and suddenly I saw the invasion. I turned to the stands because my daughters were there, the majority who entered were from Atlas, but also from Querétaro, the referee ended the game and I see that several went to attend to the situation, there was no act of violence against the players, they were escaping from the people, everything was very confusing. A boy was being beaten, I wanted to get closer but a lot of people got in and I grabbed three boys to get him out and we took him to the tunnel".

Then, he explained what was seen in the controversial video:

"I can identify two of them very well and I'm not afraid (to say it), they said 'you have to burst them' and they wanted to enter the tunnel and I said there was going to be a tragedy. I took them to the other side and told them 'yes, yes we burst outside." This is something that is used in education and persuasion, it was something that came out to me, there were those who came to ask for a selfie with their cell phone, I tried to minimize the situation. If I had to insult someone I would not say **** your mother, I tell you, son of your ******** mother, I would have used my words, I used his words to get them out, "explained the strategist.

The Querétaro coach explained what is seen in the video as follows:

"I am left with testimonies from people from Atlas, with testimony from people from Querétaro. Seeing people from Querétaro take people from Atlas out in their car so that they would be calm, none of you said it. They show a video, which I did not see, saying that I incited. When they put on the long video, I have the comment of a friend congratulating me because I handled the situation well. That video was compacted so that I remained a precursor of violence, an inciter. Rather, manipulating information is being violent, not say things as they are, sorry but that is the reality we live in today".
