Argentina leader blames businesses for Chilean team’s sudden collapse

The intention of Javier Milei’s government to privatize Argentine clubs has encountered different forms of resistance. Supporters, for example, spoke out loud and clear against this initiative. Among the most illustrious references, César Luis Menotti, emblematic coach who led the Albiceleste to its first world title and who is considered the mentor of a school , also highlighted the downsides of conversion, even hinting at the cultural roots of the entities since their founding. “Privatizing a club is like stealing a worker’s money. IThe clubs were created by the members with a lot of sacrifice from many people who came through the club. It’s not about making things up. I hope the members will fight to make the clubs belong to the members. This privatization of clubs and their transformation into companies only benefits those who are in business,” said the legendary coach.

The clubs, moreover, also rebelled. In fact, a few weeks ago, in coordination and through their accounts on social networks, they expressed their intention to maintain the current organization, in which the partners are the main authority. . In this context, The mention of Chilean football and the alleged damage that joint stock companies would have generated in this activity adds to the intense debate. .

Cristian Malaspina, president of Argentinos Juniors, illustrates his resistance to the model with national football. “Ask Chile how the Chilean team is doing after the joint stock companies. You see? Let’s analyze everything. Here it’s easy. I was taught that only one steak could fit on a plate. So if they want to do business here and eat too much, it’s going to go bad. Does it have to be done well? Yes, of course, but if you make mistakes, the system itself kicks you out. », Launches the highest authority of the Bichos Colorados.

The manager also defends the activity he carries out. “Sports managers are the most punished of all the activities I do. We take exams every Sunday. You are obliged to do things well, because football shows with this verse of joint stock companies that the manager who does badly goes home. So don’t come and talk to me about limited companies, that’s what clubs are. “, he emphasizes.

His vision of the integration of capitalists is catastrophic. “You have to do things well, with honesty, with management, running a club like a business, but with people from the inside. “, he argues, about the way in which sports institutions should be managed, which in Argentina have a much more intense presence in social life than in Chile.

“Let’s stop busting our balls, let’s defend our industry, our clubs, because wherever business happens, it all ends and it’s not good that it ends “, says Malaspina.
