Atlético Nacional and Millonarios will compete this Thursday, November 23, in the grand final of the BetPlay Dimayor Cup 2023. A real battle will take place at the Atanasio Girardot stadium, as the series is 1-1 and both teams are seeking honor by winning the title.
This Wednesday, coach Jhon Jairo Bodmer and player Dorlan Pabón made statements about the crucial match of the cup final, as is customary the day before a final in Colombian soccer.
And although the main topic was the game against Millonarios, it was inevitable to ask Dorlan about the controversy that arose due to the expulsion he suffered in the classic against Medellín, last Sunday on date 2 of group B of the BetPlay League semi-final home runs. II.
Wilmar Roldán showed the purslane reference a red card, because apparently Pabón said something that the central referee of the Antioquian classic did not like.
According to the bulletin of penalties and sanctions, published by the championship’s Disciplinary Committee, Dorlan was sanctioned for three days for “being guilty of using rude and obscene offensive language against a match official.”
However, this Monday the ‘Vbar Caracol’ program delivered a version of what Pabón would have told him: “Mr. Roldán, with you it is always the same with Nacional.”
However, EL TIEMPO revealed, citing “unbeatable sources,” that the veteran Pabón did make a more delicate comment.
The source says that what he actually said, a few meters from the Antioquian judge, was: “Leave him, leave him: he’s screwed up,” words that would have caused the red card.
Dorlan Pabón: ‘That teaches you that you have to think more about your teammates’
Pabón was asked about the expulsion of Wilmar Roldán, and the experienced player tried to avoid a specific answer. Furthermore, he made it clear that bygones were bygones, and that he was focusing on the BetPlay Cup final.
“What happened in the classic, I’ll leave that there. What happened happened; It was something that stays there. Now I’m thinking about my group, about this important game like tomorrow (Thursday).”
However, he added some words that sound like he acknowledged his mistake due to the red card that Wilmar Roldán showed him. And he ended by lowering the severity of what happened.
Thus, ‘Memín’ expressed: “That teaches one that one has to think more about one’s companions, about oneself, because one inside… (is) heated, whatever. But it is logical that it was not for greater things.”
