Independiente Condemns Conmebol President After Cup Disqualification

The leaders of Independiente put the cry in the sky – in hell, in this case- after the failure of the Conmebol which eliminated red of the South American Cup for the very serious incidents in the Party against the University of Chile in Avellaneda. With the signing of its president, Néstor Grindettiand its general secretary, Daniel Seoane, the club launched a letter this Friday on its social networks where It points with name and surname against the mandamás of the entity that regulates South American football, the Paraguayan Alejandro Domínguez, and in which it requires that any red reference be eliminated in the Conmebol Museum and the restitution of various relics donated to it.

Although an adverse failure was expected in Independiente since he officiated as a home in the scandal party, The classification of University of Chile to the quarterfinals seemed to be the cause of anger. At least, in this way it is explained in the statement: “This resolution is not a legal error of a court: it is a political decision that nakes the preference for those private structures with which it is easier to project future agreements, businesses and benefits. “

According to Grindetti and company, Conmebol benefited the U of Chile for being a “corporation oriented to profitability and business speculation”in contrast to Independiente, “a social and sports institution sustained by its partners that represents the essence of South American football.”

And add: “Conmebol’s decision feels a nefarious precedenta team that was in advantage in the series but that faced the concrete possibility of being overcome on the court, resorts to the most brutal violence against rival fans, achieves the cancellation of the party and receives as ‘prize’ the classification from a desk. In another words, violence becomes a shortcut to avoid competing sports until the end. “

As to DominguezThe note cites a statement by South American leader himself to try to leave him offside. “It is incredible that their own words at another time in history have been ‘football is not won with stones or aggressions, players win on the court.’ This ruling contradicts this vision and sends a devastating and contradictory message to all South America: the violent ones can always get yours. “

But the statement not only remains in repudiation, but also demands Domínguez for a couple of requirements, almost symbolic: “That any reference to our institution is eliminated within the framework of the Conmebol Museum while you continue in the Presidency; That all the elements delivered by Independiente to the Museum are immediately restored, because we do not admit that they are exhibited in an area that contradicts the values ​​that made them possible. “

The text, although forceful, was not quite well received among social media users. In addition to the usual charges that usually cause these issues, Many Independent fans limited themselves to commenting with an order of “early elections.” It is worth remembering that Grindetti assumed instead of Fabián Doman, who won the elections in October 2022 and resigned a few months later.

CONMEBOL FAILURE

Conmebol communicated its decision on Thursday night, eliminating Independiente de la Sudamericana and sanctioning it with Seven games without a public as a local and seven visitor for tournaments of the Confederation.
