Verón’s 7 changes for the perfect Argentine league: what’s missing | OneFootball

With the peace of mind that his Estudiantes team has secured the Torneo Clausura and ahead of the Trofeo de Campeones against Platense, Juan Sebastián Verón spoke out and addressed everything. The president of Pincha took the opportunity to take shots at the current format of the Liga Profesional and even dared to list changes to raise the level of competition.

“I think the tournament is not right, we all see it. We’re playing a final against Platense, who haven’t played in a month and a half, they’ve been idle, not playing. They changed the coaching staff and almost the entire team,” said La Bruja in a conversation with ESPN F90, referring to his club’s next rival.

Verón was also asked what an “ideal Argentine football” should have, and he was more than blunt. “Everything this championship doesn’t have: fewer teams, more logical tournaments, improvements in refereeing, better infrastructure and stadiums, so people can travel safely, clearer rules, and fewer titles.”

“When I came back in 2006, the tournaments were Apertura and Clausura. We played against everyone and they were good tournaments. Lanús, Estudiantes, Banfield, Argentinos all became champions… Let’s keep the format, but with fewer teams. They don’t fit in the calendar,” he added.

“Argentine football should be among the top 5 championships in the world. If we have the best players, why don’t we have it? Why can’t we be as attractive economically as Brazil? I’m tired of hearing that in Argentina it can’t be done. I believe we can work towards something better,” Verón questioned.

The president also targeted Futbolistas Argentinos Agremiados for not intervening in favor of the Estudiantes players after the guard of honor for Rosario Central: “When they need you, they call you and bring you together. And here they didn’t do it. I can’t make decisions for the captains of other teams. The complaint goes elsewhere, not to us. The squad is harmed and threatened. No one showed solidarity with the boys.”
