Verón’s partner hits back: “If you’re looking for me, I’m in the stands” | OneFootball

The definition of the Clausura Tournament between Estudiantes and Racing in Santiago del Estero will offer an unusual scene. Beyond the battle for the title on the field, the attention at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades will at times shift to the Pincharrata supporters: there, mixed in among the fans and far from the presidential box, will be Juan Sebastián Verón.

The presence of "La Brujita" in the stands is not due to a superstition or a folkloric choice, but rather an administrative imposition. It’s worth remembering that the president of Estudiantes is currently serving a six-month suspension imposed by the AFA Disciplinary Tribunal, a punishment stemming from the controversial back-turned guard of honor that the La Plata squad performed for Rosario Central a few weeks ago. Thus, the suspension prevents him from accessing a preferential seat, forcing him to attend as an ordinary spectator.

The strong post by Verón’s partner

Verón’s presence in Santiago del Estero, far from being hidden, was capitalized on by his inner circle in what can be interpreted as a new chapter in the ongoing tension with the AFA. On the eve of the final, Valentina Martín, the executive’s partner, posted a story with both of them wearing the Pincha jersey, ready to head to the stadium, accompanied by a powerful message.

“If you’re looking for me, I’m in the stands,” reads the text accompanying the image, a phrase that serves as an ironic response to the ban on accessing the preferential areas.
