The return of Reuben Dario Insua to the Barça land, his place in the world, was what the club needed to rearrange at least the football side. El Gallego, an old connoisseur of the house, gave his mark to a Saint Lawrence who, from minor to major, has found solidity, play and now wants to encourage more. From his hand the players who could not settle were recovered, such as for example Nahuel Barrios (today with 10), Adam Bareiro (He was the team’s goalscorer and the club bought him the pass) e Khalil Elijah (It was not taken into consideration by Pedro Troglio and is now its owner). But Insua wants more in 2023 and already has a young footballer in its sights who needs to regain the level he was able to show when he was entering the First Division: Agostino Martegani.
It is the project within the project for Ruben Darío. The ultimate goal is to obtain a title, it is known. The bushy-haired man has been repeating this in every interview since last year. However, along the way, the blue and red coach sets himself goals to clear. He has youthful names on that list to make their debut this new season and give them the shot, like boy Elián Irala, a central midfielder who, according to what they say in Boedo’s youth academy, will get people talking. And he also wrote the surname Martegani.
The 22-year-old creative midfielder didn’t have the best semester with Insua. His hand had started badly with that episode in which the DT whitewashed, after some absences of the boy in the squad which weren’t due to an injury but because he had asked to be transferred to Hellas Verona. The Italian club had made a formal offer for him, albeit an insufficient one.
There were just a few tense days. Until everything was clarified and Martegani was pardoned by the coach, who took it into account given that his premise, among others, is to re-evaluate who came out of the lower crows.
However, Marta did not find the desired regularity and alternated sessions on the bench, some entrances and very few titles. In total you have collected 18 appearances in the Insua cycle, without being able to concede goals.
Argentinos Juniors and Racing were interested in him. From La Paternal they even sent a proposal, which was rejected by the Cyclone priests. In the last few hours, the version of an interest in La Academia has returned to consolidate. “Nothing came from Racing here”they assure Boedo.
Matías Caruzzo, coordinator of professional football at San Lorenzo, had said a couple of weeks ago that Martegani was not for sale to Argentine football, unless a club was willing to pay his release clause of $15 million, a figure impossible for any team in this country.
Beyond the market race, Insua aims to work on Martegani to be able to pull off his best performance right away. They say that taking advantage of the intimacy of the preseason in Uruguay, Gallego held talks with this exquisite left-footed midfielder and together with the coaching staff showed him videos of himself to show him what they want from him for this year.
This Tuesday from 20:00, Agustín Martegani will start the lineup that Insua will face Peñarol, in San Lorenzo’s second friendly of the summer (he lost on penalties to Independiente del Valle on Sunday).
Perhaps this is the starting point for the take-off of the made in Boedo midfielder who has plenty of quality.
