@FootynewsThe win-or-die mentality in Argentine football creates a situation where any result that isn't a victory gets blamed on something external, and Morena Beltrán thinks it is sad that the culture has reached this point. She made this observation after recounting the hell she experienced at the Estudiantes stadium during the match against Instituto, an incident that unfolded amidst controversy over refereeing decisions and left her with a reflection exposing what she calls the worrying reality of the sport. Several people headed toward the door of the booth and spoke with a level of hatred so intense that they said they were going to kill me, and all the insults escalated upward until the fear became overwhelming. There were big men present, people who could easily be my brothers or even my dad, and that really shocked her given the professional setting. Beltrán explained she set boundaries because people were there to work, asking if we are all crazy for allowing such behavior when the job is simply to do our duty. Despite the severity of the threats and insults she received, she clarified she holds no grudge against Estudiantes or its fans and noted that some individuals involved later apologized to her. The journalist described how individuals approached her booth door, expressed hatred, and threatened to kill her, noting that the aggressors were large men who could be mistaken for family members. She criticized the win-or-die culture in Argentine football where any result other than a win is attributed to external factors, emphasizing that today you cannot lose in Argentine football: either you win or any other result is conditioned by something external. This incident occurred amidst controversy over refereeing decisions, and Beltrán left a reflection exposing what she calls the worrying reality of Argentine football, showing that football can never be above respect.
