Something you’ve never seen before!: Corridors turned away from champions by statute
student This fulfilled the Pro Football League’s requirement that rival teams must receive their champions in the Hall of Honor. Of course, just one detail… Angel Di Maria and all the players. central rosary They started walking down the hallway, and the Estudiantes de la Plata soccer players turned away and turned away.
This was a clear message that they reject the AFA’s decision to declare Rosario the champions of the Central League as the team that added the most points in the standings for the year.
This resolution caused great discomfort in Argentine football in general, as it was not taken into account in the initial regulations of the championship. It appeared that president Claudio Tapia was paying tribute to world champion Angel Di Maria, who returned to the Argentine league this last term.
The AFA announced that all club leaders had unanimously approved the proposal. However, Estudiantes stressed in an official statement that no vote had taken place. The story continued down an unprecedented corridor. President Juan Sebastian Veron suggested it after discussing it with the players at a preview. And they followed that policy…
In the subsequent match held in Rosario, Estudiantes defeated Central 1-0 to advance to the Clausura quarter-finals. The goal was scored by Edwin Setre. Veron is currently the only Argentine football leader to harshly question Claudio Tapia’s AFA procedures without fear of reprisal. And he believes in injecting private capital to boost the development of clubs, something the AFA is fighting tooth and nail for.
All this is happening at a time when Argentine soccer fans are also furious over multiple questionable arbitrations favoring teams “friendly” to AFA powers.
Both the Estudiantes players and the coach remained silent. Instead, Central talked about the hallways. “It seemed very unfair to me,” coach Ariel Horan said. And Di Maria put it into perspective. “They did the same thing in the hallway. One of the boys told us they were going to do that. That’s very good. It’s about them. We went in because we had to go in, and it stayed there.”
