The term to present lists that competed in the electoral act to be held within a month expired today at 8:00 p.m. and only the list headed by Malaspina made his candidacy official, since the other three names that sounded these days and until the last minute, and that arrived by different means, never appeared at the LPF headquarters in Puerto Madero.
Neither Sergio Rapisardapresident of Vélez Sarsfield, who was going to be promoted by the residual “tinellismo”, nor Mario Leito, his peer from Atlético Tucumán and national deputy for the Frente de Todos, also enrolled in the hosts of the outgoing head of the LPF, offered to compete with Malaspina for the position.
And despite the fact that the payroll is “unique”, it has “a high leadership consensus” and will contribute to “closing a gap of many years”, as presented this afternoon by Malaspina himself, he will be there and not the president of Racing Club, Víctor Blanco, in front of her, when he was the one who was mentioned as the suitable candidate for “a unity list.”
And that “consensus” you spoke of Malaspina and that it would reach about 20 clubs of the 28 that compete precisely in the Professional League, it does not count among them anything less than the two biggest in Argentine soccer, Boca Juniors and River Plate, as well as, obviously and for the above, neither of Racing Club and San Lorenzo.
But on the other hand, Malaspina is the candidate of AFA in general and its president, Claudio Tapiain particular, that in this way it would regain total control of Argentine football, including even its geographical location, since according to various sources told Télam, the LPF would leave its current headquarters in Puerto Madero to settle in Viamonte 1366.
And in this way that “double command” so questioned by a large part of the leadership, even in an underlying way, would be liquefied.
And just the one who would also regain his power within AFA would be Independent, since its general secretary, Hector Maldonadowill be the first vice president; Joseph Alonso (Columbus) will go as second and David Garzon (Hurricane) the third.
As long as Hernan Arboleyafrom Lanús, will go from his current position of second vice-president to that of secretary, being his pro-secretary Edgardo Zin, of Union.
“We need to have the president, ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, very focused on the objective set for the World Cup in Qatar, based on this national team project that he planned so well and is giving us so much satisfaction”praised Malaspina who supported him the most in this new process that will begin in Argentine soccer.
Since that sadly historic 38 to 38 of December 3, 2015 in which precisely Tinelli and Luis Segura they “tied” that election for president of AFA which paradoxically had 75 voters, until next Friday, April 8, six years and four months will have passed in which “a lot of water ran under the bridge.”
Segura disappeared from the political power of Argentine football in terms of his public and active participation, and Tinelli he will formally follow in his footsteps that April 8, although in fact, and as many of the leaders have demanded of him in recent times, he also became extinct, first within San Lorenzo (he is its president but on license ) and now in the LPF.
And simultaneously with this, the figure of Wallthat from a management that was based on the aforementioned (by Malaspina) successes of the Argentine team, of its support for soccer in the interior, and that in two weeks it will have the “icing on the cake” with the arrival of VAR in soccer Argentine, will reposition the AFA in the highest echelon of power, as in the not so distant times of Julio Humberto Grondona.
