“Independiente is the third largest only because of its people”

He got into the locker room quickly Julio Vaccaribut some insults from the fans were heard in the stadium Lanus. And a couple of the shouts were directed at the coach, who yesterday completed his 12th game at the club. Avellaneda. The numbers do not smile at the coach: he won 3, lost 3 and tied 6; He scored 8 goals and they scored 6. But what is beginning to be questioned is the lack of play, how little the team generates in attack, beyond the fact that it improved a lot on the defensive side.

Already at the press conference, Vaccari explained the general situation of the institution. “Independiente is one of the big three of Argentine football only because of its people, because of the club it is. But we are all confusing the objectives. There is a marked gap. The party media cannot say it because they would not be heard later, nor can the leaders because it would be politically incorrect. But to be truly great you need time, project, order, work. Today it was demonstrated”the coach shot.

Vaccari came to Independiente as an offensive coach. His days in Defense and Justice spoke of an ambitious and brave coach to play on all fields with the same idea. But none of that is being seen in Rojo and that is why some fans have already started to get upset. It is true that Vélez, the best today, did not surpass him. What happens is that Independiente only kicked the goal a couple of times. More: Scored one goal in the last four games.“I leave with enormous sadness because we matched a team of enormous hierarchy and we left empty-handed. The main flaw today was in the finishing”Vaccari explained.

Vaccari also looks disconcerted. The fans question a lot about the permanence of Joaquín Laso and Iván Marcone among the starters. The changes were not clear either: with 1-0 down, the coach opted to take out Ávalos to bring in Alexis Canelo, who touched her little and did not kick the goal in the minutes he was on the court. In favor of the coach and against the footballers: Ávalos scored 4 goals in 33 games and Canelo 6 in 37.

“I liked Laso’s game, apart from some specific errors”Vaccari commented. And he added: “I took Ávalos out to do position by position and then we put two forwards with Canelo and Hidalgo. But we fell short with the tools in the search for the goal.”
