It felt like goodbye. Greeted all employees upon arrival. His family was on the playing field taking pictures. All his teammates hugged him one by one when the match was over … It was the farewell of Sebastian Torrico of the club that changed his career and his life. He had decided to leave the San Lorenzo and had made it known behind closed doors. However, everything that happened on Saturday in a packed New Gasometer in the 1-0 win against Boca shook him and made him rethink his resolve. And finally, the 42-year-old goalkeeper, Ciclón idol, will remain to fulfill his contract until December of this year.
“I was about to leave. You had a proposal from Barracas Central, which is an organized club. But I intend to fulfill my contract because San Lorenzo and I deserve another end, “the man from Mendoza told DirecTV Sports. He added:” I don’t know if it will be my last club, but my story here ends in December. My idea is to return to San Lorenzo in another role. When I retire I would like to be a part of it. The management has offered me to retire here, but I don’t know if that will be the case. “
Torrico was out of the Boedo entity. As he himself explained, he had a verbal agreement with Barracas to stop there. But as soon as the classic against Boca finished, doubts took hold of him and he left the field with a split decision of 50 and 50. The affection of the fans was fundamental. He got cheers when he went out for the warm-up and before the start of each bout. Even at the end. and listened to the “Torrico does not leave, Torrico does not leave …”.

In the last few hours he has had in-depth talks with various players from the world of Barça, including Matías Caruzzo, still the club’s professional football coordinator, who was considering resigning from his position but could review his position after an interview he will hold this Tuesday with Matías Lammens. Just the Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Nation and current member of the Cyclone was another among those who spoke with Towers to convince him.
Why did you want to emigrate now? Property loss was not seen to come. A couple of mistakes against Arsenal on Matchday 3 (it was 3-3) cost him his work. Ruben Insua pulled it out to give the chance to Augusto Batalla, who saved the next three games. This added to the hassle for a debt. In fact, the Condor was advised by Members to see the possibility of charging through a payment plan.
There she began the seduction operation to convince him. Insua returned the bow in a surprising way in the tests before the duel against Boca. By order of management? El Gallego is not a coach who lets himself be influenced by the managers. The truth is that Batalla didn’t play a big role in the crash against Barracas Central and the DT applied the same logic as before: he pulled him out and put the alternating.
Everything seems to indicate that Insua has not defined who his goalkeeper is and that he is measured by performance, as in other positions on the pitch. It will be necessary to see how the history of the blue and red bow will continue in the next matches. But it will certainly be with the idol Torrico who will be part of the squad and will fight to stay in the team.
