Defeat in Tevez’s debut with Rosario Central

From the effervescence of the pompous reception, to the reality of the game, to the cruelty of defeat and self-criticism. That tour made Carlos Tevez in his first game as coach. There was no case: although he created some scoring situations, although he did not deserve to lose, the Apache team ended up on their knees.

It did not reach him even with the locality. East Central Rosary de Tevez fell 0-1 at home, against Gimnasia. The game was balanced. The scoundrels seemed closer to the goal than the triperos. However, eleven minutes into the epilogue, a great pass from Braian Aleman behind the backs of the Rosario center-backs was taken advantage of by Ramón Sosa, who controlled it with the utmost class and sealed the La Plata victory with a cross shot, down, against a post.

Tevez, who had enjoyed a warm welcome, later tried to remove all responsibilities from his team: “I liked the team. I liked the attitude. I thought that after 70 minutes they were going to fall physically, but they endured a lot and I am proud of the work of my boys today. We are convinced that this is the way. The only person responsible for this defeat is me.

Carlos Retegui, the former coach of the Argentine field hockey teams, will finally not be Tevez’s assistant. It is a subject that generates some concern. And when they asked him, the Apache tried to clear up doubts in his own way: Guys, I’m the head of the group. The others don’t matter. The chap, my brother or anyone, the person in charge is Carlos Tévez stop fucking around”.

The new coach also promised to advance with reinforcements. And he closed: “We have to continue working, with an idea that is what we propose. I think that this way we are going to win more games than we are going to lose. Their goal pass is from another game”. The next game for Central de Tevez will be on Monday, July 4, against Aldosivi, in Mar del Plata.

Boca Juniors falls before the Libertadores

The fifth day of the Argentine league, at its start, had two other games. Boca, in the Bombonera, reserved starters (some entered in the second half) because on Tuesday they play for the Libertadores and lost 2-1 to Unión. All the goals were from penalties. The one from Santa Fe was made by Daniel Juárez. The xeneize cry of the transitory draw was hit by Eduardo Salvio. And Franco Troyanski, in added time, took advantage of a VAR-penalty to seal the victory, after failing in the first instance (goalkeeper Javier García went ahead) and sentencing with class in the second attempt. Banfield (goal by Ramiro Enrique) and Barracas Central (Eduardo Abecasis, against) also equaled 1-1.

The pointer, at least until today, is precisely Gimnasia (11 points), the rival that Central de Tevez suffered. Newell’s (today it will visit Estudiantes) has 10. Boca was left with 9. Platense and Banfield add 8. Among the games this Saturday, the one that River will star in, in the Monumental, against Lanús stands out. Workshops – Central Córdoba, Defense and Justice – Vélez and Colón – Hurricane will also play.
