Alfaro Moreno noted: “The question of the fans at the concentration is a special topic, because we have turned our indoor space into a bunker. I’m investigating to find out how they got in so it doesn’t happen again. Everything for the good, nothing for the bad.

“We will not allow pressure from anyone. Let’s go watch the security footage (from the stadium) to complain, because someone has to go to jail. We will not tolerate it,” added the manager speaking to the media at José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport during a trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
