“It was a moment in the match: the player was left alone, and I called my teammate to stand in front of him. Then he removed my hand. We started arguing, and he came up and hit me in the nose with his head. I’m not exaggerating, and he immediately realized he made a mistake, that’s all. But my nose is fine. It hurt, but everything is good,” — quotes the Argentine RMC Sport.
