He is not resigned. Lucas Pusineri is not going to ask for many reinforcements, but his idea is that, in case the club decides to incorporate footballers, they will bring him hierarchy. And that is why he points well above, His orders will be four, although they will be subject to eventual modifications depending on the outputs that can be made in the coming days: a goalkeeper, a defender, a central midfielder and a center-forward. The coach is the only one so far in the Hugo Moyano cycle who has not yet received any reinforcement. The managers know that they are indebted to him. The technician knows that to convince it is essential that he commits to pick up the phone. And he will call on Italy to communicate with Lucas Biglia, see how the situation is and demonstrate his interest in being able to count on him from next semester.
It is not the first call that Pusineri will make. Since the quarantine began, he has communicated with David Abraham, a 33-year-old defender who is at Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, and with Oscar Ustari, an archer who has a relationship in Pachuca until December 31. He shared with both of them in the Red and knows them very well. The truth is, Although the two intend to return to Independiente in the future, this will not be the time since there are contractual issues that prevent it. “I spoke with David and he told me that he will continue in the Bundesliga until December. And I also know that Oscar decided to continue in Mexico until December of this year, “said the coach at La Oral Deportiva.
Biglia’s phone will ring this week. The 34-year-old midfielder is at Milan. In the last days he was also linked to Boca. Pusineri knows this and that is why he is going to call him. In principle, he will try to internalize himself about his situation there and will begin to tempt him in order to prepare the ground for a possible return. Both know each other since they shared a campus at Independiente in 2005. “I have a contract until June 30 and then I’ll see what to do. I sincerely want to give priority to my wife and my children so that they decide. I had nice moments in Independiente. There I had one of the best technicians of my career as César Luis Menotti, “said Biglia on April 15, the last time he gave statements about his future.
Pusineri has three players at his post: Lucas Romero, Diego Mercado and Carlos Benavídez, who runs from behind and will look for an exit. For Red, the main impediment is the economic factor. Therefore, the intermediation of the DT will be key: “I have a great relationship with Lucas and I’m going to call him. I want him to know what my idea is and to know his. He has a lot of prestige and a great career. Any coach would like to have it ”. The operation to seduce him is already on the mark.
