Vélez Sarsfield is experiencing one of his worst moments in Argentina’s professional league in 2023. With the recent loss to Belgrano, Fortín has already accumulated 10 consecutive games without a win in the tournament, a poor streak that has threatened Ricardo Gareca’s continuity as DT. The ‘Tiger’, who according to various Argentine media outlets would have resigned, was holding a meeting with the directors of his silent team when a group of fans came to the club’s grounds to sing exciting songs to express their support for the coach.
“Olé le, olá la, Tigre is from Vélez, from Vélez he will not leave”, “Olé, olé, olé, olé, Tigre, Tigre” were some of the proclamations of the fans in favor of the former coach of the Peruvian team. In contrast, all criticism was directed at those responsible, in particular President Sergio Rapisarda: “If you are a fan of Vélez, you must shout ‘Rapisarda never again’.”
