The coach of Independent Carlos Tevez He referred to the failed preseason in Miami and claimed that they defrauded the club; while the Ecuadorian Jhonny Quiñones signed his contract and became the fifth reinforcement of the “Rojo”.
In a complicated start to the year with the unusual fall of the preseason in Miami, Tevez had to reorganize his preparation planning for the first half of 2024 and, together with the Board of Directors, they decided to hold the preseason at the Lionel Andrés Messi Premises in the AFA.
Regarding this blow that was the failed trip to Florida, the former Rosario Central coach declared: “We had to make up for not going to the United States. They scammed Independiente. It was like six pineapples all together to start the year. But the next day we were already giving everything in a double shift”.
“It is not that the coaching staff has presented an unknown company, it is known. The people who scammed Independiente work in the Professional League and we see them every Sunday. What happened to us is very serious, but this forged the character of the group “denounced the native of Ciudadela.
Furthermore, Carlos Tevez said that he wants a central defender and a right back to finish assembling your team.
Following this line of search, the “Apache” stated: “Gabriel Neves is from the National Team. I love him. Who wouldn’t like to have him in the club? The interest is there. I believe in this type of player. If he comes, it would be great for “We are going to wait until the last minute for Alan Franco. I asked for Guillermo Varela and they are negotiating. Leo Morales is an alternative to Franco. Federico Vera and Juan Fedorco are offers, but we need more experienced players in those positions.”
“I believe that Independiente can fight Boca and River because we have a team with internal skills that every coach wants to have”added the coach, showing his aspirations for the Independiente that he is putting together.
Also, the former Boca player commented on his feelings in this still new role for him. “I really enjoy being a coach. When I was a player it didn’t cross my mind to be one, if you asked me when I was a player I would say no way, but I prepared myself and now I’m enjoying it,” he argued.
“It takes you much more time to be a coach. You have 50 people to manage. It is not the same to be with them all the time, to manage the training sessions, the schedules, the concentrations, you have 30 players who are hoping to play on Sunday, who are looking for the best… The pressure of being a coach is totally different from being a player. As a player I concentrated and played, nothing more. Being a coach implies a totally different planning behind,” concluded the technical director of the Avellaneda club.
