Confident Leandro Stillitano, coach of the Reds: “If it’s okay with me, I’m Scaloni”

Sports channels wonder if Leandro Stillitano the credit remains. On social media, especially on Twitter, Independiente fans seem to have let go of the coach. The team doesn’t play well, it’s true. It’s also true that what he showed on Barracas’ central field wasn’t bad and that there were some aspects to highlight, such as the personality of playing with one player less for more than 60 minutes and with almost 40 degrees of temperature. But what makes the noise are the 6 games without a win and the 7 points out of 21.

“The support from the managers is total. They were very clear with me in December. I know everything that is being said, apart from the fact that I don’t see or read anything. I have seen things that I liked, such as the attitude of the players” , released Stillitano. in conference. And fired: “This is how it is: if I win, it’s Scaloni; if I do wrong, they’ll tell me ‘because they brought in a boy who is having his first experience”.

The feeling is that Stillitano will play his place next Saturday against Colón in Avellaneda. And that’s not good news because this team has a harder time playing at home than away. “I have no doubt that we will exchange boos for applause”, the coach had said on the eve of the duel against Barracas. The draw did not draw much praise from the fans. “We wanted to win, but it’s not easy to play with one less player for so long in Argentine football. I saw the play and it seemed to me that Barreto had dropped his leg. These are things that have already happened to us and cannot happen again. We’ll have to work during the week,” said the DT. And he added: “It’s possible that everything that happened to Sergio affected him. I didn’t know if I was renewing, I had offers”.

Also, Avellaneda’s cast coach painted the reality of the institution. “We all know the history of Independiente. But the reality today is different. Our market has been very complicated. We have great players and many youngsters. For example, Barcia is a youngster who hadn’t played for a year: he had left the profession and worked in something else,” he explained. And he closed: “The only game that left me very worried was against Banfield. In the rest we had good minutesbeyond the fact that we have not added points or we have not been able to reflect it with goals.
