Overview
- Malcorra confronted López on Friday outside Radio La Red in Buenos Aires after days of radio and TV claims that he showed little commitment against former club Rosario Central.
- Colleagues and a security guard intervened as the clash stayed verbal, and Malcorra told López his family had a terrible week because of the remarks, according to witnesses.
- The criticism centered on a second‑half one‑on‑one that Malcorra hit softly at goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma, a play López cited to question the midfielder’s effort.
- Earlier in the week, Malcorra posted that he would never “go backward” and said he aimed to pass to Gabriel Ávalos on the disputed chance before mis‑hitting the ball.
- On Saturday, the 38‑year‑old reappeared at Independiente’s Villa Domínico complex to watch his son’s youth match as coverage continued and neither party issued a conciliatory statement.
