Before LaLiga was stopped because of COVID-19, Jonathan Calleri was the focus of discord before Osasuna. Abelardo Fernández decided to leave him on the bench after scoring three goals against Wolverhampton on the inconsequential return leg of the round of 32 of the Europa League, and after the match and the defeat (1-0) he declared that he was wrong in the lineup.
The Argentine striker will be playing tomorrow against Alavés, aware of the coach who must accompany Raúl de Tomás at the attack point. For Calleri this is an opportunity to redeem himself after a fateful season, below the expectations with which the direction of Professional Soccer, coordinated by the now CEO, Rufete, presented him. The Argentine has participated in 26 games this year but only managed to score one goal in LaLiga, another in the Cup and three in the Europa League. Loaned until the competition ends, it will not continue in the entity.
The future. The footballer, who previously played in Spain in Las Palmas and Alavés, curiously the rival who will step on the RCDE Stadium tomorrow, was left to love in this confinement by Boca Juniors, a club in which he already played. “I imagine playing in the Bombonera …”, he put on his social networks to celebrate the 115-year history of the xeneize club.
Espanyol paid 250,000 euros to Club Maldonado, which owns its rights, and the purchase included a purchase option of 25 million that, obviously, it will not execute. The 26-year-old footballer will be one of the parakeets to obtain salvation. He and Tomás are called to be the goal men in these 38 days.
