A controversial audio by Carlos Queiroz about violence against women has leaked

At the end of the press conference of the Colombian national team coach, Carlos Queiroz, a controversial audio of the Portuguese leaked in which he refers to the case of alleged physical abuse by Sebastián Villa to his former partner Daniela Cortés. In the broadcast, which was later deleted from YouTube, the strategist spoke to Juan Raúl Mejía, FCF communications director, about a question and a trill from journalist Sarah Castro of AS.

The reporter and many other colleagues were very interested in knowing because the player Sebastián Villa had been called up despite allegations of abuse, a to which the Colombia coach replied: “There is a player who plays in Argentina who is Colombian and they pay me to find out if he has the qualities to enter Colombia (…). I’m not an institution, I’m a coach of the national team ”.

Response that left Sarah Castro unsatisfied, who decided, through her Twitter account, to leave several trills asking that the Colombian Football Association should have a protocol to handle these cases of gender violence, to which Queiroz replied that one should expect what the institutions in charge of the case say, not being a judge of a court.

The reporter continued:

“I go back a bit on your answer from Sebastián Villa. From what I have heard, I understand that for you an institution like the FCF and the National team does not need a protocol for the management of cases of gender violence, especially in a case like this where the player faces a criminal case when respect. Shouldn’t Selection be an example of these complex social problems? “

They read to the technician what the reporter wrote and he commented: “I’m not the institution. He has to talk to the institutions. If all the men who take a punch from women went to the press to talk, the world would be screwed. These words were deleted from the press conference video, because they knew it would cause controversy. However, the audio leaked on social media.

That said, the Portuguese insisted that he is not a judge to assess the complaint against Villa and that he will only see the winger’s performance in the matches he plays for Boca Juniors.

This Monday 9 November all the players called up who play in Europe arrived in Barranquilla and on Tuesday the first training session with the whole group will take place. Colombia will play against Uruguay next Friday, November 13th, at 3:30 pm
