The last two scandals facing Mikel Arriola were born on match day seven of Guardians 2021One is Santos’ complaint against Atlético San Luis, for alleged racist acts against his player Félix Torres, and the other is for allegedly misplacing América in the match against Atlas, involving player Federico Viñas.

In the undisciplined lineage of players like Alana Mozo and Jonathan Rodríguez during the pandemic, Mikel Arriola and his team devised a mechanism to punish footballers who left protocol during the Covid 19 emergency, ultimately serving as an additional resource for them. om clubs can keep their elements under control.
