The Bucaramanga fans exploded against Carlos Antonio Vélez after being crowned champions of the BetPlay League 1-2014. As is well known, Vélez has a ‘hunted fight’ with Rafael Dudamel, coach of ‘Leopardo’. Because of this, the victory of the Santander team in the exciting final against Santa Fe unleashed a wave of comments with Carlos Antonio as the main topic.
This June 15, 2024, the second leg of the League grand final took place and Carlos Antonio Vélez was the designated commentator for the Win Sports channel broadcast. Throughout 90 minutes, Vélez analyzed the game and did not refer much to his differences with Dudamel.
In the last penalty of the shootout that gave Bucaramanga the title, the moment that Bucaramanga fans rejected occurred. It turns out that, after the goal with which he consecrated the ‘Leopard’, Vélez disappeared from Win’s broadcast. So he did not say a word about the historic achievement of Rafael Dudamel and what he directed.
This detail did not go unnoticed among the followers of the Bumangués team. For this reason, in the midst of the celebrations for the title, several dedicated words to Carlos Antonio Vélez. From mockery, to criticism and memes, the ‘Bucaros’ said ‘everything’ to Vélez and showed his love for Dudamel.
What happened between Carlos Antonio Vélez and Rafael Dudamel?
Before the grand final of the BetPlay League 1-2024, Rafel Dudamel declared that Carlos Antonio Vélez is a persona non grata in Bucaramanga. In principle, Dudamel did this because Vélez has been very critical of the ‘leopard’ game throughout the semester. However, Vélez himself later told what his differences with the Venezuelan date back to.
According to Carlos Antonio Vélez, his annoyance with Dudamel dates back to when he was coach of Deportivo Cali and, during a press conference, he suggested that Win SPorts seeks to benefit Atlético Nacional due to the business ties they have. At that time, Vélez, who had a good relationship with Dudamel, expressed his annoyance and distanced himself from the Venezuelan.
