In a matter of weeks, Chiqui Tapia has gone from being a captain questioned by referees (always open to opinion and limited to discussing football) to Concentration of general contemptEven outside the world of football. President Messi’s “friend” who lifted the World Cup is being insulted in every stadium and even at parties.
Tapia is no longer Czech. Now it is “button”.
Rarely has anyone achieved such unanimity in rejection.
What happened to make this happen? The most consistent explanation, which can be seen from the outside but is also linked to by a few AFA independents, is The belief that his authority is unquestionable and unpunished.
The delirium is based on a threat that is not known if it is real, but it has been fixed like a sword that points to the heart of the lover and no one dares it: If the government or the judiciary intervenes, FIFA will cancel Argentina’s membership and bid farewell to the World Cup.
“Three presidents have passed…” the message is, Tapia said Wednesday “I am more important than the presidents of the country. They pass, and I continue.” He continued: “I spent nine years managing Argentine football, and there will certainly be more.”
Only the idea of impunity explains its persistence A series of unjustified decisions. The suspension of Sebastian Veron as president of Estudiantes de la Plata for six months, and the footballers of that club for two appointments in 2026, is the latest example of this.
Why will players be punished in 2026? No one knows, but Tapia and Tovigino don’t care. The conviction that explanations are unnecessary is the product of a mind blinded by omnipotence.
Do I want to spoil Di Maria? I call the central hero. because? Because I want to
Tapia and Tovigno have distanced themselves from reality to confine themselves to their own local climate, between statements of support distorted by their serial publications, their self-awarding, the applause of attention, and the chastising of any critical voice. No one is talking because everyone is asking. And then, they must.
In the opposite stands, even though they didn’t want to listen to it, the country of football had had enough and rejected it.
