Marchi said in an interview with a channel TyC Argentine: “The players do not agree to cancel the season, and the Federation soon ended the season.” “If the decision to cancel the season is approved, this will create a state of conflict between the federation and the players, because the players do not want to cancel it,” he added.
He continued: “The argument is that this epidemic will leave an economic catastrophe, yes, of course, it will leave an economic catastrophe not only in football but in all sectors. But it seems to me that this is a background to conceal the massive debts that they have in some clubs.”
Marchi confirmed that there are many clubs that have debts with their players since December or January, using the Corona Virus as an excuse.
He concluded: “We will be inflexible with those clubs that somehow refuse to solve their economic problems by hiding behind an existing epidemic, and this is true, but everyone knows that this is not the cause of the problem.”
The Argentine Football Association announced the cancellation of all its competitions this season, especially the Argentine League, due to the outbreak of Corona virus in the country.
Argentine President Claudio Tapia said to the network of channels TNT SportsAll competitions are over, and tomorrow the Executive Committee will approve this decision, which will take place through a conference call.
He added: “We will only return to the stadium when the health authorities give us the green light. In short, we will only play when the time comes.”
