It was one of the most anticipated words after what happened in the Copa Libertadores and the intense versions that ran around its players during the transfer market. Marcelo gallardo sat before the press in the preview of the duel for the Argentine Cup against Defenders of the Pronouncement of Entre Ríos and warned: “I do not come to communicate my continuity. I come to communicate that within the normal processes there are many things to evaluate and we continue evaluating. It’s not that I’m going to make a decision because I’m not putting pressure on anyone, I just want them to tell me where we are and where we’re going. And if we have the same desire to go to the same side. That’s what we’re working on, it’s not easy”.
“We are trying to evaluate possibilities in markets that are not easy, in moments that are not easy. Within all that we try to sustain what we have that is valuable and what we cannot sustain, we will be in a position to evaluate possibilities. Within these possibilities we see how we are putting together again. This means that to stay is to remain enthusiastic to maintain a rod that is already at least in the competition.”He mused.
“Going down the same path for me is to be clear about what we want to do, where we want to go. It’s not just that they bring reinforcements. We try to be very sensible about the things we usually do. They have seen that our markets have not been very bright, they have been specific things. Good players with projection. But we had a sense of team: trying to make time and work give us the chance to position ourselves and make good teams. We have to understand that sustaining ourselves has been a tremendous effort. We have to see and be honest to see if we can continue to move forward in this delicate pandemic situation. Staying active, staying active is not doing the plank. We have to continue to be active within the possibilities we have. It has always been like this. And in that we have been quite compatible ”, he warned.
As usual every time the season ends, the Doll carries out an in-depth analysis of all areas to determine if he is still in command of the team or not: “One is not about to be. Because you are comfortable, because you feel in a comfortable space where you are valued and loved. But it is because I need that rod, that requirement that we have had all these years. We are all involved in that. If I feel that there is something breaking, that we no longer feel the same, in that I am very careful in the forms, to try to communicate in the best possible way where we are standing. That’s why I take that time ”.
Regarding the arrival of reinforcements, and after reviewing several names that could arrive, he clarified with the possible departure of Ignacio Fernández as an example: “The team needs to inject itself with movement and competence. If Nacho (Fernández) comes out, we clearly need to bring a player. But we already needed to bring a player before Nacho left. It’s not easy, ”he added.
