The current vice president of Red spoke before the crisis that the club is going through. "There are many things that have been done well since we took office, but football and the economy are always paramount," he said.


After the surprising and sudden announcement by

Fabián Doman

through a letter, where he formalized his resignation as president of Independiente after barely

6 months

 in office, the world of

Red

was filled with uncertainty and the decision brought some anger and sadness for the complicated moment that the Avellaneda institution is experiencing, both in sports and economics.

One day after Doman's announcement on his social networks, Juan Marconi

, also a TV presenter and vice president of the club, appeared, 

speaking in an interview on Radio La Red and showing some annoyance at the decision.

"

It was an unexpected decision, with a degree of irresponsibility

at some point, but institutionally, Independent is above any name and continues its life," Marconi quoted, being the first member of the Commission to officially give his point of view after Doman's ad.

In addition, he presented conviction for the future: "

We have to come out on top

, that's why people chose us, that's what we have to do. We have to find a way around it," he said, although he did not propose solutions.

Marconi -son of former referee Guillermo Marconi- understands that Doman was overwhelmed by the committed moment that Independiente is experiencing in all sectors of the club: "They are personal decisions. Each one listens to one side and the other, but in the end one decides You have to respect it, but that

doesn't mean that it isn't a very big institutional damage,

but that's it, you have to continue. I'm not saying that you have to pretend that nothing happened. It happened and a very big institutional damage was generated, but hopefully be starting from a huge crisis, a huge opportunity to grow".

Despite this, he made it clear that the Board of Directors continues to work despite the resignation of its president.

"

This Board of Directors is present

, with the majority going to Rosario and another group working on various more important issues stayed in the Capital," said Marconi and later added: "We have

to work and we are present to show our faces

."

"We continue working to solve it and it is one of the flags of this commission to

lift inhibitions

, but when you have a sporting present that is not the best, unfortunately the pressure is greater, they are the rules of the game. Whoever finds out that there is pressure independent today is because he does not know the world of Avellaneda or football," he quoted during his story.

Beyond all the damage that was generated around the Board of Directors and in the continuity in the sports field, Marconi is aware of what the

Red

fans are experiencing , who after the announcement demonstrated at the door of the headquarters located in Miter Avenue.

"

It is an ugly moment that the fan has to pass

. It is reality. We have to put our chests up and

continue implementing a lot of good things

that are colored in a bad way by the bad sports results that we have had so far but with full confidence that we are going to reverse it as the economic is reversed. We tell the fan that, the reality is that," he said.

And he added: "We are working and the fan and partner know it. They know that

there are many things that have been done well

since we took office but we are very aware that football and economics are always paramount in a club as huge as Independiente".

"You have to get out of your head that someone with 15 or 20 million dollars will appear to save Independiente.

That does not exist

. What does exist are negotiation mechanisms, of which we have to have self-criticism for thinking that they were going to be simpler", said Marconi about the solution to cover the debts that the club maintains.

The bomb that exploded this Tuesday brought blows in sports, mainly in the choice of the coach.

With Pablo Repetto everything was agreed, but the president's resignation made him rethink the situation and he ended up getting off before starting.

From now on, Independiente is looking for a coach and one of those targeted is

Omar De Felippe

"Pablo Caballero is working, he is one of the options but there is nothing. We are thinking about the match against the central defender, that the boys and Monzón do well, but there is nothing confirmed," he clarified.

On the absence of money that Doman accused in his writing

"I can assure you, without giving a name because I am not interested in speaking individually,

there was a lot of contribution

. When it is said that there was no money, I must say that

there was a lot of money

to lift more than 6 or 7 inhibitions, resources were generated from marketing thanks to the partners who, ultimately, are going to save Independiente and we are the medium through the leadership, with a record of new partners, subscriptions. They are genuine income, but

the contributions were

"

Marconi stated that he received threats

"I received threats and anger. I took the time to speak and say that I am. In the situation that the club is in, I am putting my chest out, like the rest of the committee. "Threats are not normal, but in Argentine football they happen.

The phones of the entire board of directors went viral, these are difficult times. Each one has its limits, I don't want to naturalize violence."

Leandro Stillitano's period as coach

"With Monday's newspaper, all analysis is simple. I don't doubt Leandro's ability, less his person and his CT. We have to talk about contexts. Today there are 15 thousand new members, before we didn't have them. When we arrived there weren't a weight in the club"

The situation of the campus

"The squad is up to date. The players are satisfied with the leadership work from the beginning. Things are good and the results are not coming. We started in a way that was a good start but it did not end up being. The players know that there is a president today who is Néstor Grindetti, that the CT is guaranteeing the same as before. It moves the shelves of players, leaders, but especially the fans who voted and after months this happens. I deeply empathize with the situation, but the CD works to reorder and continue. Institutional life continues".

For now, Marconi is not running for president.

"Based on the statute, we said that Grindetti will be president for 90 days. After that period

, we have to see what happens

. Today the president is Néstor,

so we will continue working for as long as it is

and it could be more if it is an option" .
