Matías Caruzzo, pictured together with president Arreceygor and DT Insua, will continue to be the coordinator of professional football in San Lorenzo
Winning a classic isn’t the solution to everything; but it helps, it helps. Y Saint Lawrence you can attest to that. The 2-1 against Mouth last Saturday he settled some internal issues that, if they materialized, would have made too much noise. In the first place it was Sebastián Torrico who reversed his position as an emigrant and decided to stay to fulfill his contract until the end of the year. And now it is Matia Caruzzoanother who had announced internally that he would be leaving his role in the club, the one who has finally announced that he will remain in the position of professional football coordinator and puts all his attention to try to close the nine that Ruben Darío Insua asks.
Caruzzo made the determination at the end of last week: I was about to resign. The reason he used it behind closed doors was that he couldn’t find a way around a complicated market and that there were everyday situations and problems where he didn’t agree with the executives. The idea was to pass the game with Boca and then say goodbye. But everything has changed.
Triumph renewed the air in Boedo. It oxygenated the atmosphere which had been very heavy. San Lorenzo won again at home (for the first time this year) and won another classic after a long time. From a purely footballing point of view it was an important emotional injection, which will have to be endorsed on Sunday against Banfield.

And from an institutional point of view, there has been a decompression since the ruling party set a date for early elections: December 17which must be approved by the August Assembly.
Apart from these issues, Caruzzo has had talks in recent days that have convinced him to put aside the idea of stepping aside and continuing. Matías Lammens went with one of those who talked the most. Even with the president Horace Arreceygor.
The former defender wants some daily factors to be changed. Ask more people to work alongside you so you can tackle more tasks and be more effective. And he sides with the DT in the position of not selling Nicolás Fernández Mercau or Agustín Martegani now because it believes they can be re-evaluated in the future.
Beyond the fact that he had not decided whether to continue or not, Caruzzo has always remained at the forefront of market negotiations. He was able to direct the arrival of Giovanni Ignazio Mendez, which Lammens later sealed. The arrival of Gaston Campi in the epilogue of the pass book.
Now the priority is to get the center forward you need
“If Adam Bareiro catches a cold, we’re in the oven”, repeat in Boedo. Is that today the team has no replacement for the Paraguayan, who became the team’s top scorer in the tournament with five goals.
Martin Cauteruccio He is the one indicated, even if his situation is not at all simple and he is blocked. Aldosivi is not willing to give up easily and the pressure that the 35-year-old striker puts to force the exit does not seem to have an effect: he has not played from the first date and not even this weekend will.
Martín Cauteruccio, player of the Aldosivi, is the one targeted by the Cyclone to reinforce the attack
From Mar del Plata they ask for half of José Devecchi’s pass plus 400 thousand dollars and in the Cyclone they are unwilling to accept that treatment. The talks continue, but for now they are far from shaking hands.
This is why other very drinkable alternatives appear. One is to re-float the Adolfo Gaich, currently at CSKA Moscow. The other is Guido Carrillo, which was released from Elche. His high contract is a barrier and his intention – a priori – would be to continue in Europe.
The truth is that San Lorenzo will have a reinforcement dimension for the injury of Jeremías James (in the next few hours they will make the formal request to the AFA and once authorized they will have 10 working days to acknowledge). And Caruzzo, confirmed in his position, is already working to reach a good port.
