After a week with a lot of sea in the background, Defense and Justice will receive Vélez this Saturday at the Norberto Tomaghello stadium in a duel corresponding to the fifth day of the Professional Football Championship. The duel will begin at 15:30, will be directed by Nicolás Lamolina and broadcast on public television.
The atypical planning this season due to the Qatar 2022 World Cup at the end of the year has caused many clubs to bleed into their teams with the tournament already started. The Falcon it was one of the teams that was affected and the situation got worse this week.
The departures of Walter Bou (precisely for Vélez), Carlos Rotondi (Cruz Azul from Mexico), Raúl Loaiza (Lanús) and Miguel Merentiel (Palmeiras from Brazil), added to the probable sale of Adonis Frías to the Spanish Elche, have generated an enigma and they made Sebastián Beccacece flirt with resignation.
Finally, on Friday the DT announced that he will remain in office until his bond expires at the end of October. “Although it was comfortable to leave now, because I have the reasons, I thought it was not right to do so. Does not match. I will respect my contract and I will leave in peace ”, assured the driver of the team who have recorded three draws and one defeat in the tournament so far.
Vélez also did not start the race well, with a draw and two setbacks. However, Monday’s victory against Rosario Central in Amalfitani and the arrival of Uruguayan defender Diego Godín (presented on Thursday) have renewed expectations in Liniers. It is assumed that the national team defender will be available to play in 10 days.
