In a gesture in favor of SADs, Javier Milei received the president of Talleres at Casa Rosada

Fassi He was the special guest of Milei days after starring in a big scandal after the elimination of his team in the Argentine Cup (against Mouth): he fought with the referee Andres Merlos in his locker room and then filed a criminal complaint against him. He also shot at Claudio Tapiapresident of the AFAat a subsequent press conference.

So much so that Workshops in Cordoba It is the only club of First Division who was in favor of the SAD and did not support the plan of the AFA to respect the current format.

Let us remember that in the last few hours two opinions were issued from FIFA and Conmebol warning that any external interference by a Government within the AFA will leave out the Argentine national team and their teams from any international competition.

What did the national government say about the Milei-Fassi conclave?

“With the shared vision of saving Argentine football and transforming it into an activity capable of generating social, sporting, cultural, economic and infrastructure value at the level of global trends, a first conversation took place this Friday at Casa Rosada to share the main axes of an essential, urgent and necessary debate.”

“The President of the Nation’s call came after the press conference last Monday, where the way to strengthen our clubs was discussed.”

“We have to make sure that our league is on par with the best leagues in the world, such as England, France, Spain, Italy and Germany, which is where world champions and two-time American champions are trained,” said Milei after the match.

Andrés Fassi said that “regardless of the legal formats, the key lies in management models that allow for the creation of strong clubs with a vision of sporting growth and social development.”

Fassi and a recent scandal with referee Andes Merlos: “He punched me”

After Talleres de Córdoba was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup against Boca, the scandal broke out in the corridors of the Malvinas Argentinas stadium where the president and vice president of the “T” fought with the referee of the match, Merlos.

The latter claimed that Fassi entered the locker room with guards and firearms, while the Tallarín president claims that the judge punched him.

Faced with these serious accusations, the president of Talleres de Córdoba came out to give his version of the events: “The flag bearers tried to restrain him until they took him into the locker room. I stayed outside until he came out of his locker room like crazy and punched me. His colleagues grabbed him again and took him back in. There, the vice president, Gustavo Gatti, at the door said to him: ‘How are you going to hit the president?’ And he approached him, kicked him and threw him to the ground, like crazy.”

“Merlos has been harming us since 2020. It was the perfect appointment, he had had problems with Boca also against River. It was an extraordinary and well thought-out appointment. There are only four or five servile or standard-bearing referees who unfortunately tarnish the 85% of honest refereeing, that refereeing that has been a model in the world with outstanding performances. Don’t be confused, I’m not talking about Argentine refereeing. I’m talking about servile referees for a specific cause, sent to harm.”

However, Fassi decided to double the bet and point directly at ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, president of the AFA, and a person with whom he is at odds over Sports Corporations (SAD): “Unfortunately, I asked Chiqui Tapia to meet up more than a year and a half ago. The last time we met up in Buenos Aires, he made me go on a Sunday. I left on a Sunday, you didn’t see me. We agreed to meet up on Monday, you didn’t see me either. We agreed to meet up on Tuesday, you didn’t see me either, and on Wednesday I had to go back to Córdoba.”
