Independent: after the mistake at Velez and the paper for his statements, Falcioni confirms Sosa in goal

It was the football theme of the week in Independent: the bow. Doubt passed on what I would do Giulio Cesare Falcioni after Vélez’s agonizing equalizer last Sunday, it was possible after a mistake by Sebastiano Sosa in displacing he shortened a ball that he could also have caught with gloves. Immediate verdict of the fans on the pitch with reproaches and whistles to the Uruguayan goalkeeper, then badly stopped for having been denied by the referee Andrés Merlos after a statement. However, the DT decided to keep him as the starter for Saturday’s match against Gimnasia La Plata.

The arch of Red is under discussion. Sosa seems to have lost the support of the fans. The break occurred with his failure in Paraná before Patronato, for the fifth round of the championship. From there, the charrúa began to hear the local boos, as did Juan Insaurralde, another of the most enduring on campus.

But Eduardo Domínguez renewed his confidence and kept him. So did Claudio Graf in the meantime. The one who eliminated him was Juan José Serrizuela when he had to take the lead against Colón in Santa Fe. Sosa’s muscle discomfort gave the opportunity to Milton Alvarez, who had given up on the few times he had had to parry.

Sosa did not go to accompany the team to the sea, in addition to not being able to play. That attitude did not go well within the group and there were also some suggestive posts by Alvarez and Tomás Pozzo emphasizing the importance of “being all together” and that “no one could get off”.

The Uruguayan went to the bench at the beginning of the Falcioni era. Milton Alvarez has delivered in every game and everything seemed to indicate he had earned the spot. Until Falcioni decided to return the property to Sosa against Velez.

After the 1-1, the emperor also explained that this determination was linked to the fact that Sosa is playing the citation for the World Cup for the Uruguayan team and that is why he had to be under the three sticks again, a question that did not it went very well behind closed doors.

But Sosa was wrong and was exposed. He misfired a ball that he could have caught with his hands, fell on Walter Bou and sent the cross for Lucas Pratto’s winning header.

To make matters worse, the Uruguayan tarnished the matter the next day by claiming that the judge had told him that if he pocketed the ball, he would charge an infraction for a pass behind Edgar Elizalde. Merlos immediately went to the intersection and contradicted him by saying the opposite and stating that he had told him exactly the opposite …

After all this mess, the coach ratified it by including it in the essay this Thursday. Falcioni knows that eliminating him now would damage him even more, especially looking across the Río de la Plata.

In doubt for the weekend is the scorer, Leandro Benegas, who suffers from back pain and was unable to train with his teammates. Facundo Ferreyra took his place in attack. The one who has recovered from a blow and will be without problems is Damián Batallini. And one who does not arrive is Lucas Rodríguez as he continues with the kinesiology work.

Therefore, the eleven that are outlined are: Sosa; Alex Vigo, Sergio Barreto, Insaurralde, Elizalde; Alan Sonora, Lucas Romero, Lucas Gonzalez; Leandro Fernandez, Ferreyra and Batallini.
