The vice president of Estudiantes de La Plata, Juan Sebastián Verón, criticized the format of the Professional League and exclaimed that Argentine football is suffering “a deterioration in general”which caused several leaders to come out and accuse him of not collaborating in decision-making.
Verón considered in statements to TyC Sports that “Having a 30-team championship is crazy that doesn’t exist anywhere”.
“It’s not competitive and beautiful, that’s a total fallacy. It seems to me that there is a deterioration in football in general. “Not only from the organization, but also from the economic point of view,” the former player shot after winning the Argentine Cup.
In addition, the reference of the La Plata club considered: “We didn’t know how to capitalize on it in local football” the fact of being world champions.
Right away, Pablo Tovigginotreasurer of the AFA, and Eduardo Spinozapresident of Banfield, came to the crossroads and accused him of “erasing himself” and not being part of the decisions in the Argentine Football Association.
“Bullshit, I better tell you in English. I never saw you sitting at a Committee table carrying out a project. When the National Team was abandoned and we had to help, you were erased. You like to criticize from behind and if not, you send one of the many ‘simulators’ you have. Let’s work!! Finally”, wrote the president of the Federal Council Toviggino.
Previously, he had gone out to the crossroads Jorge Britowho also expressed his rejection of the Argentine tournament.
On the side of the boss of Banfield, retorted to Veron for their lack of dialogue: “I agree. And we are not 30, but 28. Perhaps there is a parallel CE that I am unaware of. They taught me that debates take place face to face and not in the media“.
And he added: “This is why we say that they want us to be SA, because things in our football work despite the fact that many prefer to say no. If that weren’t the case, they wouldn’t be desperate to buy our clubs. “They function thanks to the owners of the clubs, their partners.”
A no small fact is that considering the discontent that there may be in a certain sector, it was approved unanimously and in due time all the leaders agreed (except Talleres), the same with regard to the elimination of a relegation.
