The definition of the Clausura Tournament between Estudiantes and Racing in Santiago del Estero will offer an unusual scene. Beyond the contest for the title on the field, the attention at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades will, at times, shift towards the Pincharrata fans: there, mixed among the supporters and far from the presidential box, will be Juan Sebastián Verón.
The presence of the "Little Witch" in the stands would not be due to a superstition or a folkloric choice, but rather an administrative imposition. It is worth remembering that the president of Estudiantes is serving a six-month suspension imposed by the AFA Disciplinary Tribunal, a punishment resulting from the controversial back-turning corridor that the La Plata team performed against Rosario Central weeks ago. Thus, the disqualification prevents him from attending a preferential seat, forcing him to attend as a regular spectator.
Verón's presence in Santiago del Estero, far from being hidden, was capitalized on by his circle in what can be interpreted as a new chapter in the tension with the AFA. Before the final, Valentina Martín, the director's partner, posted a story with both wearing the Pincha jersey, ready to head to the stadium, with a powerful message.

“If you're looking for me, I'm in the stands,” reads the text accompanying the image, a phrase that would serve as an ironic response to the prohibition of access to preferential areas.
