Luis Ventura He has been dividing his life for several years. Despite his hours as a journalist, his profession, he never stopped satisfying his desire to be in football, his passion. And this Tuesday he was involved in a scandal after the defeat of ‘his’ Victoriano Arenas against Atlas, on date 10 of the Primera C Clausura tournamentthe third and final professional category of AFA. The trigger was the two penalties against his team, converted by General Rodríguez’s team, and the recipient was the referee Gonzalo Creimermann.
“I want to know why you cut me!”The panelist specialized in entertainment shouted to the judge, almost face to face, as he left the Saturnino Moure stadium, the home of the Lanús team, but which has its field in the Federal Capital.
Ventura, he affirms, is the coach with the longest tenure in Argentine football, after the departure of Pablo Vicó at Brown de Adrogué. It has been nine years since he was in charge for the first time in Victoriano Arenas, although he was always accompanied by another coach who is in charge of the day-to-day life and also in the games, beyond his presence.
Victoriano Arenas is in 12th place in the standings with 13 points, while Atlas moved into fourth place, with 18, after the 2-0 victory, thanks to the goals of Anríquez and Diego Ftacla, both from the maximum penalty and the two well sanctioned. Ventura’s claim was for the expulsions of Brian Robles – for protesting – and Lucas Pérez.
