Vélez celebrates what he deserves: Give him champion!

Fortineras legends like Carlos Bianchi, José Luis Chilavert (who harangued in the preview and moved) and Julio Falcioni They shout the goals and celebrate in the audience. Another forty thousand do the same in each of the corners of that Jose Amalfitani overflowed It is the celebration of Vélez champion. Party in the game, pure superiority. Coronation party. There are the glorious new fortineros: Claudio Aquino, Valentín Gómez, Braian Romerothe big ones and the kids… There’s the DT Gustavo Quinteros…They are the protagonists of the 17th star in the club’s history. Vélez champion after eleven years! Fair champion!

This Velez He is not only the best in this Professional League that he just won. He is the best of 2024 in Argentine football. In addition, it leads the annual table with an efficiency of 61%, was a finalist in the League Cup and was runner-up in the Argentine Cup. They only lost 3 of the last 25 games and have gone 19 without losing at home.

Now being LPF champion allows Vélez go for two more stars, for the Champions Trophy (on Saturday against Estudiantes, owner of the League Cup) and for the Argentine Super Cup (with date to be confirmed, against Central Córdoba, champion of the Argentine Cup). Yes, this team enjoys everything, which at the end of 2023 was distressingly saved from relegation.

Gustavo Quinteros designed a fast, dynamic, offensive teamwithout flashy names, with fresh and different young people from the training courses. This is a coach to value, who had no recognition in his Argentina although he had already been champion in several countries: in Bolivia with Blooming, Bolívar and Oriente Petrolero; in Ecuador two-time champion with Emelec; and in Chile, champion with Universidad Católica and Colo-Colo.

Vélez had taken a wide lead at a great moment, but then he gave up and arrived at the last date under pressure, on top of that with the weight of having lost the Argentine Cup final a couple of days before against the modest Central Córdoba. It did not depend on other results, but he had to beat Huracán, who also dreamed of the title. If they tied, they could be surpassed by Talleres, who received Newell’s.

Vélez could not fail. It was local in a José Amalfitani team filled only with its own fans. And in that fortinera pressure cooker, Vélez calmed the nerves with search and play, demonstrating clear superiority. He opened it with a definition by Claudio Aquinoafter a great play by Maher Carrizo, a daring 18-year-old. Later, Damián Fernández scored the second against a static rival defense. It was 40 minutes into the first half. Uncertainty was reduced to a minimum.
