The reality is that this was an episode more than a very agitated Friday for Independiente. Is that the day began with a letter that red shared on its social networks and in which he loaded directly against Conmebol and against its president, Alejandro Domínguez, for the ruling of the party against the U of Chile that was released on Thursday night.
In the letter, signed by Néstor Grindetti – president of the club – and Daniel Seoane – general secretary – the “most energetic repudiation is manifested in the face of the decision issued by the presiding entity, which ignores its regulations in force and unjustly condemns our institution. “
Independent Athletic Club –
After Conmebol’s failure, Independiente fans gathered at the Avellaneda headquarters and hanged flags in claim to the leadership
Next, they indicate that “Conmebol violates its statute and jurisprudence” by failing in favor of the U. of Chile, a club that “has mutated towards a model of the corporation, oriented to profitability and business speculation.” That is why they indicate that the decision “confirms a course in which profits weigh more than sports truth.” In addition, they accuse that the resolution “It is not a legal error of a court: it is a political decision that nakes preference for those private structures with which it is easier to project future agreements, businesses and benefits.”
Of course they also emphasize that the resolution “Feel a nefarious precedent” Since “a team that was in advantage in the series but could be overcome on the court, resorts to the most brutal violence against rival fans, achieves the cancellation of the party and receives as ‘award’ the classification from a desk. In other words, violence becomes a shortcut to avoid competing sports until the end.”
Finally, the club position is marked: “The games must be defined within the field of play and never under the pressure of those who try to twist the history to the blows.” That is why they stand out: “He sends a devastating and contradictory message to all South America: the violent ones can always go out with his.”
Hours after that statement, Grindetti and the rest of the leaders had an internal meeting to analyze the possibility of appealing the Conmebol ruling. And then the president of Red, along with other members of the CD, went to the AFA site in Ezeiza, to meet with Claudio Chiqui Tapia, top president of the Argentine football mother house.
The conclave was very extensive and there was cordiality and Chiqui, with a very good relationship with Domínguez, listened to the Red leaders.
The Bomba letter, with a sender in Avellaneda, has already arrived in Luque. And everything exploded. There was even response from the U, which repudiated that statement and defended Domínguez, with the argument that they also do not agree with the sanctions issued by Conmebol (they were imposed fines and the prohibition of having public in seven local games and another seven of the visitor) But that does not endorse them to “denost or insult anyone.”
