On February 27, in the classic for the fourth date of the Apertura, Juan Ignacio Ramirez He had played his last game as a starter in National. An injury kept him out for a month and a half until he returned on April 7 against Bragantino for the Copa Libertadores, but by that time he had already lost the job at the hands of Emmanuel Gigliotti.
This Saturday, Colo once again had the opportunity to play from the start. In fact, it was the surprise in the starting lineup, because the other changes made by Pablo Repetto had been glimpsed since Friday, although the presence of Joaquín Trasante in the eleven was revealed a few hours later, on Saturday morning.
There was a certain expectation to see what the center forward could give, especially since he is still in debt: he has not converted any official goal with the tricolor shirt. And the truth is, it was a poor match for whoever was the big hire when his arrival was announced in the summer. He came into contact with the ball very little and although that is not his responsibility, the few occasions in which he received in the area he did not decide well.
The statistics of DataFactory, provider of Ovation, are lapidary: he did not shoot at the arch; not even outside. He did not fire a shot. The only box he has a number in is the foul box, because he had two. Ramírez played 52 minutes, when he was replaced by Gigliotti and to tell the truth it was expected that he would not come out to play the second half. He left upset, but not so much for leaving but because one did not come out. We will have to continue waiting for him, but be careful when he puts the first one.
