Before the semi-finals of Final tournament against racing, the continuity of Claudio Ubeda In mouth It was a fact. Qualifying for the Copa Libertadores, winning the Superclásico and the “peace” it brought to the team after one of the most turbulent years in Xeneize’s history (which included the embarrassing elimination against Alianza Lima and the death of Miguel Ángel Russo) were the points that stood out from the Sifón. But in the 71st minute of the game against the academy in La Bombonera, everything changed: the coach brought Changuito Zeballos, the best in his team up to that point, onto the pitch, the visiting team took the win and Miguelo’s former assistant was in the eye of the storm.
On Wednesday morning the waves appeared to have subsided. According to the information, Úbeda spoke to the team and Leandro Paredes apologized for his bombastic reaction to the left-winger’s departure: “The team wants me to continue.”
But in the afternoon everything began to be analyzed again. At least that is what comes from the words of Marcelo Delgado, who spoke to Radio La Red: “We are analyzing, we have had several meetings with the president.
The former striker made it clear that both he and Riquelme were upset about Zeballos’ departure: “The coach told me that Chango was tired… Maybe he was wrong.”
Delgado touched on all the topics, including Edinson Cavani’s poor semester that led to physical problems: “Edi will work on getting in shape for the coming year. Of course, we need a little more in crucial moments. Sometimes injuries like this happen and we have to understand that and keep working to make sure he recovers in the best possible way.”
The same situation is experienced by Ander Herrera, another footballer with a great CV but no continuity: “The same thing happened with Ander. They are important players for us, Ander showed it when it was his turn. They are important.”
The arrival of Leandro Paredes opened the door for a possible arrival of Paulo Dybala, a self-confessed Boca fan and close friend of the Xeneize captain. “Dybala is a mix of everything. Illusion and reality. Hopefully we can make the effort to get him. The only thing I know is that his contract expires in June next year and he will be evaluated. We will see what happens,” Chelo said.
In addition, Delgado accepted that the council closely follows Marino Hinestroza, the Atlético Nacional winger. “We have seen the video of the player, he is an interesting, fast and talented player. We will evaluate all the options we have.” Although he didn’t name names, he made it clear that there are movements.
