Conflicts and Controversies: The Complicated Relationship Between San Martín Player and Coach Diego Flores

The defender spoke about the bad relationship he has with the “saint” coach. “Neither the club employees nor the players want it. It’s something that sooner or later is going to explode. I hope it is for the good of San Martín and everything goes for the better. But training and working like this is not viable,” he indicated.

Anger, anger and disappointment. Ivan Zafarana He is experiencing the most complicated days of his career. After a short circuit with Diego Flores, the defender was removed from the professional squad and broke his relationship with the coach. Yes, a clash from which there was no turning back. However, this story continues to accumulate more chapters and the former Estudiantes de Caseros decided to reveal the problems of the relationship with the coach. “My anger is that he made me lose six months of my career. Now, in June, I have to go to another club to look for minutes in another team because of the arrogance of the coach. “That’s my anger,” said the central defender in dialogue with LA GACETA.

The history of the conflict began in the transfer market. “I had offers from Nueva Chicago, Almirante, Temperley and Atlético Rafaela. All the coaches promised me an important role. At that moment, I talked to Flores and told him: ‘if you don’t take me into account, let me leave to add minutes.’ And he insisted to me more than once that I stayed and that is what I demanded from date 4,” he commented.

“He had me as a substitute in three games and one with San Miguel. I played a bad game, but what he did to me is not justified. During the week I went to ask him what I did to go from being a starter to not even being called up and the answer was quite superb. From a guy who looks down on you,” he said.

“‘I’m going to separate you. I’m going to let you think about what you’ve done.’ That’s what he did,” he added.

The problem continued to get much worse until the last episode that finally broke the player’s camel’s back. “I suffered total abuse. Yes, I was out for 15 days with a tendon problem. He sent to talk to the leaders, he removed me from the campus and now the glass has overflowed. Instead of being worried about the game that the boys are going to play on Wednesday, which he should do, he sent Ariel Martos to tell that I did not train with the League boys. He doesn’t seem like a good person to me, nor a good person,” he said.

In this sense, Zafarana spoke about the DT’s attitudes. “He thinks he can do everything. He thinks that he is a doctor or kinesiologist and gives his opinion about medicine. He wants to speed up the players’ recoveries. He wants to tell the player what to eat. He has his assistants as servants. He sends them to look for the balls, while he stays seated. “Those are things that we see every day in the complex,” he said. “Neither the club employees nor the players want it. It’s something that sooner or later is going to explode. I hope it is for the good of San Martín and everything goes for the better. But training and working like this is not viable,” he concluded. “You can like a player or not. But not letting him train from a sporting point of view seems like a bad person to me,” he pointed out.

According to Zafarana, these behaviors were what caused the departure of Juan Manuel Cavallo, who worked as a field assistant. “He made that decision because he couldn’t take it anymore,” she said.

“You can be a boss, but not that way. You have to try to lead, especially in a football team. You can’t boss everyone around and stay having coffee. (Marcelo) Bielsa there is only one and this man the only thing he did was translate what he spoke. If he thinks that this is how he is going to improve in sports, I think that is not the way,” he explained.

He also criticized the ways of transferring his knowledge. “He has no idea what a locker room is. Since he never played football, he doesn’t know how to manage a team or deal with the players,” he pointed out.

Thus, Zafarana considered that he has nothing to rescue from the Flores cycle. “He left me nothing in sports. He just taught me what it’s like to lie to a player,” he reiterated.

Regarding the coach’s playing philosophy, the defender valued the way in which San Martín improved on set pieces. But, he considered that Flores could not adapt any of the fundamentals that he tried to instill in the team.

“He still hasn’t shown a little bit of what he talked so much about. She asked for time, talked about the process and had many people behind her but she still didn’t achieve anything. Furthermore, there are a lot of contradictions. (Nicholas) ‘Chunky’ Moreno He has two goals coming off the bench and has not been called up for three games. Mauro Veron He started three games and was no longer called up. “Turbo” (Gonzalo Rodriguez), an idol of the club who is doing well and performed every time he had a chance, what happens if he doesn’t come in?”, he emphasized.

Zafarana, on the other hand, considered that the leadership of the “saint” was always well prepared to accompany him in this process. “I take my hat off to the leaders. I thank all of them who trusted me with the project. Unfortunately it could not happen from a sporting perspective. Now, Omar (hope), my representative, is in negotiations. We want something left for the club but it is difficult because I haven’t played in more than two months,” he pointed out.

In relation to his future, Zafarana considered that his cycle is finished in San Martín. “In the last year, I didn’t get the minutes I wanted. I love the club. I still have the urge to have three or four games of continuity. There are a few days left until the transfer market opens. The teams that contacted me are armed. It’s going to be difficult but I’m hopeful. But I see myself far from Tucumán,” he closed.

Thus, the defender has a foot and a half outside of San Martín. However, he gave his version of the events and hopes for a change of scenery to seek to revive his career.
