Friendly matches do not serve to sentence anything, much less to draw hasty and catastrophic conclusions. Javier Sanguinetti is probably more worried than happy, yes, but he still has a few days to make arrangements on the ship before it leaves port. The defeat against Unión by 2-0 is a new wake-up call 5 days after the premiere in the tournament against Defense and Justice.
Perhaps the most worrying thing about this new Newell’s is that They converted 6 goals in two games: he received four against Agropecuario and two yesterday. That speaks clearly that the last red and black line is not yet oiled in the way that is expected and that the process of understanding between defenders and goalkeeper is still in full maturation.
In the arc repeated Iván Mauricio Arboleda and the defense was Armando Méndez, Cristian Lema, Willer Ditta and Leonel Vangioni, a quartet that has all the tickets to take the field against Defense. Perhaps the most positive thing is the return of Lema, who came out of Covid and was once again a starter. In the second stage he was replaced by Facundo Mansilla. Although in the friendly against Agropecuario, Arboleda did not have too much responsibility in the goals of the visit, he received four goals and it is not a minor fact. Especially that they were the product of some defensive disconnections, something that was repeated yesterday in the Colossus. Sanguinetti, who knows the position of his stage as a professional player, will have a plus when it comes to resolving these issues.
Pablo Pérez, another who was there again from the start, alternated with Jerónimo Cacciabue; while Julián Fernández gave his place to one who had been relegated from the first division: Juan Sforza. Nicolás Castro remained on the left.
Upstairs there was no surprise. Francisco “Panchito” González, Ramiro Sordo and Juan Fernando Garro. Nor is it that Sanguinetti has too much more at handThat is why negotiations continue to complete the squad with another striker. Juan Manuel García, precisely an extatengue, had his first minutes with the red and black jacket and began to enter the consideration of the DT for the debut.
With what he has, plus someone who joins the closing of the pass book, Sanguinetti will have to work extra to make work for a team that has not yet managed to take off. As said, they are only preparatory games, but they serve to evaluate the panorama.
