Buenos Aires, November 13 (NA) -- Following the 30-day sanction handed to coach Walter Otta, which would sideline him for the second leg of the promotion playoff semi-final, Deportivo Morón issued an official statement on social media regarding the incident. 'Having carefully reviewed the communication received from the AFA's Ethics Tribunal, our legal team is currently gathering all evidence that clearly demonstrates the events described do not correspond to reality in order to prepare the corresponding defense tonight,' the statement, signed by 'El Gallito', began, expressing disagreement with a decision that adds another scandal to Argentine football. The penalty was given in the context of a series of false statements attributed to the 51-year-old coach. 'What these two individuals do in football is irredeemable' is one of the direct quotes attributed to Otta, although the club, in a statement published three days ago, classified the declarations as false. In response, the red-and-white institution assures that 'the account does not align with what happened or with the coach's complete, noble, and respectful personality,' while also stating they have 'the evidence and a great team of legal professionals.' The controversy has erupted ahead of the second leg of the First National Division playoff semi-final, where Morón will face Deportivo Madryn, with the Buenos Aires Province team having won the first leg 1-0. Finally, 'El Gallito' emphasizes: 'We will await the due process of law to determine each step to be taken, trusting that this situation will have a quick and positive resolution.'
