“I wanted to share the memory, there are events that make one travel to the past. I met Chiqui Tapia in person at the Centenario Cup in the United States. Argentina had just played a final in 2014, repeated in 2015 and was heading to another final in 2016. And something unprecedented happened, a National Team that was about to play a final and the leaders abandoned ship. But only one person remained and it was Chiqui Tapia. That final did not happen, but there was only one person who stayed side of them and had the courage to go up to receive the vice champion medal. Afterwards he was elected president of AFA. He looked to the future, in short, he was champion of America, the most important of those he won for everything that came after. He was the one who gave the coach the chance, when no one had him in their sights. Lionel Scaloni is the great strategist, but Claudio Tapia is the great captain,” Domínguez said at the presentation of the AFA offices in Miami.
