Patronato is the Cinderella that few expected. He eliminated River and Boca, beat Talleres and became Argentine Cup champion. All despite having descended. He earned the right to play the Copa Libertadores from the group stage and believed he would cross the world from end to end to face Boca in Abu Dhabi. However, the small print of a contract and the AFA’s decision to change party in the Middle East shattered the dream and sparked popular outrage; not only by the fans of the entrerriano team. Also by some Racing fans, who would be the protagonists of the duel in question on the Emirate lands.
Three weeks ago, the AFA announced a four-year agreement with the Abu Dhabi Sports Council for the holding of the Argentine Super Cup. The name of the tournament is due to the confrontation between the champion of the Professional League and the winner of the Argentine Cup. That is, respectively, Boca and Patronage.
The Paraná club has published on its social networks a photo of the passport with the shield and a fantasy passage with the inscription: “Paraná, Entre Ríos-Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates”. And everyone celebrated.
Until the AFA began to emerge rumors that could confirm Clarione. In the agreement signed, a “high-level match” on climate issues was agreed in January. In this sense, the Board of Trustees would remain out of business and the idea he manages in Viamonte is to put together a new trophy that has Racing as its protagonist.
The two options under consideration are facing the first and second of the general classification (Racing added 80 points and Boca, 79) or the champion of the Champions Trophy and the first in that classification. In any case, Racing would secure the ticket.
The news, which would be confirmed only tomorrow after Racing-Tigre, has generated a lot of anger on social media. And yesterday, from the official account of Patronato on Twitter, they expressed themselves with a legend in Arabic on a photo of the celebrations in Mendoza where Facundo Sava’s team became champion. “This is not an invention. This is right. We are the Champions”, it was pointed out.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Oscar Lenz, was contradictory in his media raid. In the morning he assured: “I am happy that they let us out of Abu Dhabi; It is very expensive for us and we prefer to have a drink with our people. Those who will look bad are those who organize the Cup, but I think the best thing is to play it in Argentina so that our members can enjoy it ”. Subsequently, the leader added: “These attitudes and changes hurt; you feel tempted “.
The governor of Entre Ríos Gustavo Bordot It was hard: “It seems that the AFA did not like that Patronato is champion. Most likely, if it had been a great team, it would have played in the United Arab Emirates. Here are very powerful interests of the AFAeconomic, because it is about Patronage “.
And the president added: “The Patronato is an interior club. They say it’s a small club. The inner circles are not small circles, they mobilize an entire province and here it has been demonstrated. We deserve to have the same respect and treatment as any big club in Argentina. I say this as a man from Entre Rios “.
