The president-elect of the ANFP, Pablo Milad, defended his victory against Lorenzo Antillo in the vote this Thursday and assured that, Although Chilean professional soccer clubs are free to challenge, it was a legitimate victory.
“I am very happy, because Initial support was maintained from when I was asked to be a candidate, and that means that there was a joint effort to put together a work program for this government, “Milad said at a press conference.
Regarding the protests carried out by some opposition clubs, the Curican leader stated that “The elections were won by votes, not appreciations, with legitimate votes and they can make this challenge, but on the field they won well, without any objection.”
“The appreciations of form do not remove the bottom that it was a legitimate victory. Despite this I have a feeling of bitterness for this division, for this show that we give in football, “he added.
Notwithstanding this, the former mayor of the Maule Region was confident in reversing this division and carrying out a work of unity.
“Several of the presidents on the list opposite to mine have already contacted me to tell me that they will not contest and that they will join the work that we will carry out in the ANFP and in the Federation without putting more obstacles. They have the right to challenge, but our work has already started with our first board meeting, “he said.
