Sebastián Verón slams AFA: “They force fans to travel, no one cares” | OneFootball

Three buses of Estudiantes heading to Santiago del Estero to witness the final of the Torneo Clausura against Racing collided with each other on Route 8, near Solís, early Saturday morning. El Pincha announced that three people were injured with minor injuries and have already been taken to the Hospital of Pilar for evaluation, although they are not in danger.

Shortly after the accident became known, Juan Sebastián Verón, already in the interior of the country to watch the final from the stands due to his suspension, criticized the Professional League for the inconvenience of the chosen venue when it involves two teams from Buenos Aires.

«The lack of empathy with the fans and members is total, they expose people to travel without anyone caring about the consequences. Then they sell you the idea that 'the club belongs to the members'…», wrote the president of El Pincha in an Instagram story, adding another reason to his ongoing conflict with the AFA.

For now, no further details have emerged about how the accident occurred, which somewhat overshadowed tonight's final at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades, but the information provided by the club itself indicates that the collision occurred between the same vehicles, causing damage that temporarily halted the journey.

«The rest of the passengers of the delegation are in good condition and have no injuries», stated Estudiantes in a statement on their social media, where they also clarified that the institution will take responsibility for hiring new buses so that «the delegation can resume the journey once the transferred individuals return».

Verón will be in the stands to watch the final between Estudiantes and Racing

Verón will be at the Torneo Clausura final between Estudiantes and Racing, although he will not be able to occupy his usual place in the protocol. The president of El Pincha arrived in Santiago del Estero on a private flight, accompanied by friends and two of his children (Deian and Iara), to follow Saturday's match from the stands, like any other fan.

The presence of "La Brujita" adds tension to a match already loaded with elements, not only because of what's at stake on the field. The six-month suspension for violating Article 12 of the AFA Disciplinary Code, due to the León players' refusal to perform the traditional guard of honor for the champion Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito, has sidelined him from any official activities related to football.
