Football has Batistuta again: Shamel, the scorer’s son, is a First D footballer

The news may have the title of “Qatar strengthens First D team”if not because he is neither son nor son Gabriel Omar Batistuta: top scorer of the Argentine National Team until the emergence of that monster, also from Santa Fe, called Leo Messi.

When Bati decided to lower his boots, he listed the remaining goals qatar, a pointless league but with enough capacity to pay them off like the Italian market, where he played for 22 consecutive years. Doha, in Doha, he was born Shammelthe fourth child of the scorer.

Due to its strange Arabic name, that may be the letter of its introduction. But Batistuta cannot be hidden completing his identity. The son of Batigol was 20 years old, left his native Qatar when the family returned to the country, and after a few hours below Ironstressed sa to Newell to play in the Rosarina League regional tournament. From there until Argentinian from Rosarioin First D, the last category of Argentine soccer.

This Sunday, the Rosario team will arrive at ran to the ground to deal with Lugano and meet the first promise on the calendar, but Shamel will not be part of the delegation. “He is doing the set-up and the coaching staff wants to take it gradually”, advances the person in charge of Press of the Salaíto, King Ezekiel, and one of the few who saw him in court. “He came as an obstacle, but they turned him into a winger. He was left -handed, with speed and technique”, he advances with clinical intelligence.

How did you hitch? Salaíto? First, it conforms to the characteristics that reinforcements should possess in the category: only six may be over 23 years old, all are novices and have no previous contracts. Then, because it belongs to the universe leprosy – tanga where most of the reinforcements come from. “Our club usually feeds players from Newell’s or Central, from their lower. Some come to play with us in the First Division as a preliminary step in continuing their careers at the club of origin. This is no exception, “he concluded. Daniel Mariattipresident of the Rosario club, in dialogue with Clarion.

Many more prominent footballers have played for the Argentino de Rosario than anyone can imagine. For Marcelo Bielsa This is his third institution, then to Newell at Institute and the only one where he scored goals. Two goals of his career were shouted on October 6, 1979 in San Telmo and served to win 2-1 against candombero. closer to time, Dario Cabrol, Rolando Schiavi either Christian Campestrinialso wore that shirt before arriving at the local soccer elite.

Despite these antecedents, the Batistuta surname gives him a prominent Argentino de Rosario visibility. It doesn’t matter that it’s a Batistuta with no goals or minutes in the First on any team. Ang Salaíto have 110 years of historycompeting with the complete strip of inferiors and juveniles in the AFA, his The women’s group is fighting in the Second Division and even have one of the beach soccer skilled in high competition. houses nearly 500 men from outside Rosario.

“Our club acts as a means of social inclusion in areas beyond the reach of the State and where problems are severe. The club is the meeting place for these children, the way to connect them to the sport and offer them a future that life, on the outside, does not offer them in other aspects ”, boasted by Mariatti.

Argentinian he would begin his twelfth consecutive year at First D. His only title was First C in 1983 but the most memorable game was played the following year on the field of Rosario Central-filled with 40 thousand people to encourage Salaíto– in a resounding victory against Racing, Avellaneda himself, during his time in the Second Division in the 1980s.

The last season in National B was 99/2000 and after relegation, a string found below in First D began, 10 years later. Since then, he has participated in that category without being able to take off. For this reason, this season starting is the one indicated to regain lost ground. The goal is promotion and quick arrival at Primera B.

To that end, the club formed an Executive Committee (EC) of which the president of the institution was a part, but did not mandate. In front of that figure is Alexander Schneiderwho is also a member of the AFA assembly for League of Paraná of football, which he also leads. The spearhead of that “entrerriana leg” at the Rosario club is Rudolph Emerymanager of a nearby league, first came from the Rosario entity for women and is also a member, now, of that committee.

Right now, CE has a radius of action in the men’s team’s First Division, which is why some point to landing in Paraná as a managementno euphemisms. In concrete terms, the dress and two -month preseason came this way aiming to climb the category.

of that connection Rosario – Parana the technical director also arrived Paul Suarez. How a footballer started Athletic Paranawith inferior to to Newell Y Hurricane. Played on Arsenal of Sarandí in National B and in Central Union Y The Strongest in Bolivia. In addition, Italians rose, in teams such as Sassuolo, Among others. He will consider Batistuta and the other players in the squad to try out the delayed promotion.

“Batistuta is the father”

“Just starting out, beyond having a very heavy surname, it handles well, with a lot of humility”, painted DT, who started work in early March when there were only 12 soccer players. “When he came we talked and I told him that here is not Bati, or Batistuta … that Batistuta, for me, is the father. He’s Shamel and I’m not comparing himI’m not interested in what he has in common with his father, how he looks like, or anything, ”Suárez explained before sharing what the characteristics of a footballer with an unspecified last name are.

“He’s a powerful player, with a very good dynamic to come out and put pressure on when needed. He is well planted physically, handles and pivots, find the depth in the area. This is to make it work. Now it is not a fact at this (initial) stage to release it on the field. He has technical qualities, but he is with us for 8 or 9 training sessions. That is the only disadvantage, in quotes, that it has with the rest ”, he explained.

Shamel will not make his debut on Sunday against Lugano. He won’t even travel. The coaching staff will take it “gradually”. Having a surname always condemns the child of someone who previously worked in the same job or profession. There will be time to see how similar it is in the field and make the horrible and inevitable comparison. A priori, father and son have similarities: not answering the phone or replying to text messages. And his passion for football, of course.
