Chalk white jacket, jeans, light blue shirt, tense smile… Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia He suffered like no other from the heat of the Santiago night that Saturday around midnight. as he presented the Estudiantes players with their championship medals in the Clausura tournament. The head of the AFA only hugged a few, like Marcos Rojo in Racing or Cristian Medina in Estudiantes, but he was sweating profusely and quickly passed his hand several times over his face to spread the drops, which clearly expressed his nervousness and discomfort on the spot.
This student title has undoubtedly contributed to at Tapia’s worst moment since leading the Argentine Football Association (AFA). Not only does he have to deal with the legal investigations that endanger several of his close friends such as Pablo Toviggino or the financier Ariel Vallejo, but the AFIP has also accused the AFA of evasion and lack of pension contributions, and in the midst of all this he had to present the Champions awards to the members. the only club that openly challenged himby rejecting, with the famous “backward move”, the unusual trophy that Tapia presented to Rosario Central as “the team that scored the most points during the season”.

All this combination led to the choir being heard at concerts or gatherings. “Chiqui Tapia button…”with even heavier references to the family, and at the end of the twist Tapiano defeated Estudiantes: should have given Santiago Ascacibar the Clausura championship trophy.
Verón smiled from the stands of the Madre de Ciudades stadium, Pincha was champion, classified for the Libertadores and the “triumph” of Tapia and Toviggino over the AFA looked complete, absolute… Furthermore, there could even be a second round of Chiqui medals sweating, this time in San Nicolás, when Estudiantes beat Platense for the Champions Trophy next Saturday…
