Bad news for Boca in the integration of the court that will decide on the Superfinal – 27/11/2018

He said his president Daniel Angelici. Boca came to Paraguay for everything. And this was reflected in the presentation he had made to Conmebol, in which he asked them to disqualify River from the Copa Libertadores and, therefore, to proclaim the Xeneize as a champion.

However, the president of the waterfront club has seen two setbacks at Luque headquarters. One of them was given by the head of the South American entity, Alejandro Dominguez, stating publicly that the final would be played December 8 and 9 abroad ( always subject to the decision of the disciplinary unit). "It was a haircut"badured by the low member of the Boca delegation.

And the other arrived a few moments later, when it was learned that the four members of the disciplinary unit having the right to vote (the rest is Diego Pirota, who is Argentinian, so it's exempt), the Brazilian Antonio Meccia has been left out. And it is he who, according to Clarín, intended to vote in favor of Boca.

The decision will therefore be borne by the President of the Tribunal, the Paraguayan Eduardo Gross Brown, the Chilean Cristóbal Valdés and the Venezuelan Amarilis Belisario, the other two members of the body.

Gross Brown is part of the law firm that bears his last name and was founded by his father. They say that it is one of the most prestigious of the region in Asunción. And he has extensive experience in operations and banking institutions. Belisario is also legal advisor to the Venezuelan federation. And Valdés, who joined the Tribunal in May this year, is the legal representative of the Catholic University of Chile.

All three participated in the Gremio-River decision, rejecting the request of the team of Porto Alegre, who claimed the disqualification of River, Marcelo Gallardo having broken the sanction planned to enter the locker room. And also punishment at River DT. In addition, Valdés also played a leading role in the various resolutions of the disciplinary unit on the various judicial cases that took place in the Copa Libertadores.

Meccia, for its part, was under pressure from the Brazilian federation, which supports Boca. The reasons must be found in a political question that points to the owner of Conmebol, Alejandro Dominguez.

At the beginning of 2016, several Brazilian clubs, among other institutions in the region, joined behind Angelici to form the South American Football League, an entity created to spark opposition to Conmebol and to have better representation. during negotiations. as regards the economic aspects, in particular the payment of television rights for the Copa Libertadores, the form and timing of payments.

The Brazilians have been at the forefront of economic claims as they found that they had received better prices in the Brazil Cup than those paid in Copa Libertadores.

It was also a moment of transition and weakness of Conmebol, as former President Juan Angel Napout had been entangled (found in prison) by the FIFAgate scandal. Then Alejandro Domínguez emerged. In January 2016, he took over the South American entity, completed the period and was re-elected a few months ago for another four years.

The South American League has threatened to bring about a change in South American football, but it has been diluted and it has support. Did you have to see the confrontation between Boca and River in search of power? Have all the clubs voted for Angelici to be president … except River.

It was in July 2016 and at that time, they told Núñez that they had not voted for Angelici because they had entered into a "pact", so that Any of them, neither River nor Boca, badume the presidency. Any similarity to what is happening in the Copa Libertadores finale is not a mere coincidence. Another "pact" broken.

The release of the decision was postponed to at least 11:00 am on Wednesday, due to the extension of Boca's initial complaint. And everything indicates that, although there is an economic sanction against River, it will be favorable that the match be played on December 8 or 9, in foreign territory (they will have to define a place, that it is public). or not). As extravagant as it may seem, Doha and Miami are managed alternatives for this game that violence has prevented from playing Núñez.
