In announcing the decision, The Strongest's President Jorge Sfeir told reporters players had shown 'lack of respect' when they did not attend a conciliatory meeting. Vidal Gonzalez, a representative for the more than 20 players fired, said the only solution to the conflict was for them to quickly get their salaries 'cash in hand.' Former Argentine soccer star Mario Kempes was hired last month as a coach in a bid to bail out The Strongest, which ended next to last in the local Apertura tournament disputed in the first half of the year. Clausura ======== will be played in two groups of six, all teams playing the other teams in the same group as well as two 'derby' matches against teams in the other group; after those 12 rounds, the top-3 of each play off in the Hexagonal (10 rounds) to crown the Clausura champions.
