“I hope that with this answer the Independent subject will be closed because we have something imminent 24 hours after a game that is important to us. So talk about it … out of respect I will answer. I’m not just a fan of IndependienteBut I have been part of the club for 25 years and my daughters too”, Holan began by saying in a press conference before the duel that his team will face this Saturday against Colo-Colo.

In continuity with its history, the former coach of Red showed his happiness at the arrival of Ricardo Zielinsky to the technical management: “Thank God we already have a coach and I take the opportunity to greet the ‘Russian’ (Zielinski) and wish him the best, we also already have a provisional president and therefore don’t think It’s time to get into the controversy nor answer why for me The first is Independent. Yesterday, today and until the day I die“.

But in addition to not wanting to get into controversy and save a controversial response to the allegations, he said he has something to respond to the criticisms. “I have a lot of arguments to answer that when the time comes I will use them”the coach quoted.

Milito, for his part, had singled him out as one of the culprits of the crisis: “There are those responsible and it is clear to me who they are. Independiente had a great opportunity to re-emerge after winning the South American Cup in 2017 and went to play for Libertadores in 2018. But they made horrible decisions economically and sportingly. We are responsible, what happens is that we get carried away by success and the momentary success has covered everything that Independiente is experiencing today”.

Not only has Milito accused DT of being one of the main culprits of Red’s timeliness, but historian Daniel Bertoni has also been forceful with his statements. “Holan initially wanted to become secretary. He spoke with me, with Bochini, with Pavoni, with Santoro. He used us by name Because I didn’t know how it would go. After winning the South American I said ‘I’m not coming anymore’. They gave him the key as Milito said. He let me down, Bochini and others. He used us at that time. She no longer served us. They gave him a team that I was excited about, but it was a disaster. He was a big culprit for what happened. The gamblers were brought here for a fortune and there are debts.”
