“The biggest reinforcement is that the team does not disarm. We already incorporated Ezequiel Schelotto and, God willing, he will also come Maxi Lovera (Racing would have verbally agreed a loan for one year). The idea is to add quality and not so much quantity. The squad is fine, it’s a good team, “said El Mago when asked about the transfer market.
He was also very appreciative of the new coach: “Pizzi was the right coach. Generationally he is neither very close nor very far from the ages of the players on the squad. He is a coach who has a lot of weight of his own because of what he was as a player and as a player. DT. Among the technicians that were free in the market, it seemed one of the most suitable. The leaders also saw it very firmly and clearly in the meetings. He has a hierarchy and I like his style“, in an interview with ESPN.
And he even unveiled a special clause that he established at the time of formalizing his link with the club: “The only requirement that I put in my contract is that during my tenure as a manager I cannot be a DT. I think it is the way to prioritize the role that I occupy and it is also a question of ethics. The coach must be supported by me “, closed Capria.
