The summit of Argentine football leaders convened by Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia It took place this Monday at noon on the premises of the AFA in Ezeiza and, according to what was reported from the Professional League, two topics were especially discussed: the quarterfinals of the League Cup and economic and financial Fair Play. However, The essential issue was another: that of arbitrations.
It was an important topic, which was not on the agenda: as far as he could tell Clarion, Chiqui Tapia asked his peers that if they have any complaints to do so indoors and not to air them in public.
The conclave, held in the meeting office of the building where the VAR operates – paradoxically – on the Lionel Andrés Messi property, was commanded by the brand new Board of Directors of the AFA, whose members are the president of the Mother House of Argentine football, ” Chiqui” Tapia, the general secretary of the institution and president of Racing, Víctor Blanco, the treasurer Pablo Toviggino and the general director, Gustavo Lorenzo.
The meeting, which was already called in advance, was highly anticipated after the war that broke out between Carlos Tevez and the AFA, after the bombs dropped by the Independiente coach due to the scandalous refereeing of Pablo Dóvalo in the match between Rojo and Barracas Central on the Huracán field, which ended tied 2 to 2 and in which the AFA boss’s team benefited from the referee rulings. Carlitos came out angry and throwing bombs against the refereeing at the press conference.
The presidents of the 28 clubs of the Professional League met at the AFA premises in Ezeiza.
“It’s like a stream warning you that it’s going to rob you and then it goes and robs you”, released the Red coach. And there Toviggino appeared on the scene, who called him out on Twitter, getting into a fight to which no one had invited him.
“As you were not so studious in the DT course (I say through the Analytical) there are surely things that you see confusing. Strange of you, while playing you committed jail fouls and they only ended in yellow!! I also did not listen to you in some previous games, which I reserve. Anyway, Wind Memory!!!”Toviggino, Claudio Tapia’s right-hand man and strong man in that field that combines sport, business and national politics, wrote on Twitter.
The former Boca player who did not keep quiet and responded to the leader with thick ammunition. “It seems to me that so many comings and goings to Pilar are making you lose a little bit Toviggino. Apart from the collection of old and imported cars that you accumulate in Pilar, you also bury the bags that you brought from Qatar and from the friendlies in China. Memory, Alí Slime”, Tevez shot.

And on Sunday, after receiving the document letter from referee Dóvalo, he redoubled the bet. “There is (sic) Pablito Pablito…. Let’s not waste the lawyers’ time and tell me where I’m sending the envelope” (sic)”was Tevez’s message.
The DT’s message to Toviggino, which had the supportive nod of Sergio Kun Agüero and former referee Javier Castrilli, hints at alleged acts of corruption that would involve the AFA treasurer for alleged improper profits and returns from the participation of the National Team. Argentina in the last World Cup and on one of its last tours. These are versions that circulate in the football underworld, but have not yet been formalized as complaints in Justice.
It is not the first time that Toviggino uses social networks as a disciplinary instrument. Every time a leader or a coach or anyone complains about the refereeing, the Rosario comes out to counterattack. The vice president of Students, Juan Sebastián Verón, suffered it; the president of River, Jorge Brito; the coach of Belgrano, Guillermo Farré; Godoy Cruz’s team; Juan Pablo Fassi, son of Andrés, president of Talleres; Javier Zanetti. They were all victims of the intimidating messages.
In return, Toviggino was the one who brought together, also through a tweet, the club leaders who came out in chorus to support Massa’s candidacy after Javier Milei’s intention went viral, days before the ballot that anointed him as president, to open the doors to public limited companies in Argentine soccer. It was a blow that did not manage to erase the figure of the libertarian.
Ultimately, these were favors that Toviggino had to return since, as Clarín learned, for four years he was paid as an advisor to the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, where he had been appointed by his personal friend Sergio Massa.
The category to which his appointment belongs -A2- currently corresponded to a monthly salary of 1.7 million pesos. It was initially revealed that he had resigned on December 5, but only last Wednesday he was removed from the lower house system.
