Claudio Tapia spoke for the first time since the Argentine teams returned in the Copa Libertadores and referred to the return of the local competition with the debut of the Professional League, but making it clear that the decision is made by the Ministry of Health of the Nation.” Glad that Argentine football has had the possibility of starting the training and the Copa Libertadores, they are important steps for our country that we did not have the possibility to start the practices. Progress is being made and another important step is being taken with the easing of training and the possibility of friendly play,” he said at TyC Sports.For his part, he stressed that the relationship with the national government is the best and decisions are made on the basis of the pandemic. “I didn’t feel pressure from politics to get football back. Press not to go back or change date, we never receive them. There were tentative dates, but we never said September 25 begins.”

“In the last Executive Committee we set an tentative date, we put that in November if the sanitary conditions were given, promotion tournaments were to start competing. That season where the weather favors us much more is less risk of contagion. He’s coming back when the authorities say so. The idea is to play the tournaments that are unfinished,” he said. Now, the roads point to the month of October for the restart of official activity. “If Nation says, of no. We’re going to respect the decisions that are made. Then we’ll keep chatting to see when the league starts. We all want to go back, we know what football stands for.” One of the themes that fell mature was the idea that stadiums will be empty for several months and there are no plans to start as in different countries in Europe and Brazil. “Until there’s a vaccine, there’s not going to be an audience. When we make the decisions we take stock. How much a court goes out to open. We know that for eight or nine months they’re going to have to put their hand in their pockets and they’re going to have to, Tapia closed.
