Buenos Aires, November 28 (NA) -- Valentina Martín, the wife of Estudiantes president Juan Sebastián Verón, allegedly made a post on Instagram in which she attacks Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), and the captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), the message shared by the woman states that her husband is "the only one with his balls in place", defines Messi as a "prick" and refers to Tapia as "the fatty". Shortly after posting such an aggressive message, Martín closed her social media accounts. Amid the dispute between Estudiantes and the AFA over the tunnel partially built by the "Pincha" players, which resulted in a six-month suspension for Verón, preventing him from holding his office, among other penalties, the wife of the former player from the coastal club came to his defense with a scandalous message. The message published by Valentina Martín. The woman ironically begins the post by referring to her husband as "the Miamian, the Englishman, the sellout," terms used by others, including AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino, to then defend him by stating that his return made Estudiantes "bigger," and that he is "the only one with his balls in place." "I can attest that he fights for everything to be a little better," wrote Valentina Martín, who then claimed he is "more Argentine than the prick who won the World Cup, lives in Miami and is friends with 'the Fatty'"—who would be Claudio Tapia. The message was closed with the phrases "Argentine football mafia out" and "More of a Veronista than ever, always on this side," although shortly after, her social media accounts were deactivated.
