The always convulsed
Mundo Boca
remains tangled
.
After the scandal at Mineirao after the elimination in the Copa Libertadores, the club that has
Jorge Amor Ameal
as president
now received a slap from Marcelo Tinelli, the president of the Professional Football League.
The businessman and TV host broke into social networks to clarify that the match that Boca must face this Saturday against Banfield was not postponed and that they will meet this Friday "urgently" to resolve the situation.
I never assured him that the game was suspended, and due to this request I have called for tomorrow as an urgent matter, a meeting of the Board of Directors of the @LigaAFA where we will analyze the regulations and talk with all the clubs, to issue a final statement.

This Thursday, in an official statement, Boca had affirmed that it had the approval "by word" from Tinelli to postpone the games against Banfield (on Saturday) and San Lorenzo (Tuesday), since after the odyssey that the establishment that leads Miguel Russo lived in Brazil had to isolate himself on his return.
For having broken the bubble in the 12 hours that the campus was at the door of a Belo Horizonte police station, the Ministry of Health ordered that the Argentine delegation that returned from Brazil should remain isolated for seven days.
By not having the majority of his players,
Sebastián Battaglia
- coach of the Reserve - would have to remove the First team with a formation full of youths plus Colombian Edwin Cardona.
Up to here, all Boca's pretexts are valid. However, the Professional Football League does not contemplate in its regulations suspension or postponement of matches for issues related to the coronavirus pandemic. However, from the club they sent a letter in which they argue that the inability to appear is due to a
"government imposition
.
"
But Boca's mistake was to announce that it had already agreed with Tinelli to postpone their matches for dates 2 and 3, respectively, of the current tournament. And the presenter did not let them pass.
"I never assured him that the game was suspended
, and due to this request I have called for tomorrow as an urgent matter, a meeting of the Board of Directors of the @LigaAFA where we will analyze the regulations and talk with all the clubs, to issue a final statement" Tinelli wrote on his Twitter account.
