Luis Fabián Artime, president of Belgrano, confirmed this morning that several players from the club will no longer be part of the squad and is waiting for eight reinforcements.
“El Luifa” clarified in a press conference that the players who will not be taken into account were already notified and clarified that the decision was agreed with coach Alejandro Orfila.
“I mentioned the 37 footballers, of whom, after a detailed study of each one, we have agreed with the technical secretariat on setting up the squad. I told some footballers that I am not going to take them into account, “Artime said on Monday.
And when asked for reinforcements, he explained: “We are not going to give names. We are chatting with several footballers to have those 7 or 8 reinforcements. They may not be such brilliant names, but they do have the desire to succeed. You want to enter the history of the club “.
Later, he clarified that beyond the offers for Pablo Vegetti, the idea is to retain him at the club because he considers him a fundamental piece. He said the same about Nahuel Luján, who will not go to practice this afternoon after testing positive for Covid-19.
In addition, “el Luifa” argued his decision to hire the current coach: “Orfila has everything Belgrano needs to move up. It is a technical body that lives working. We need people who are committed, who are disciplined, intense, and who think ahead. “
In another part of the conference Artime referred to the possible date on which the championship would begin and asserted that “in the last meeting I had with the head of the Argentine Football Association he informed me that it is possible that the start date would be stretched March 6 or 7 would be the start of the tournament. “
Finally, the president said that they are analyzing some offers that came from other players and added: “Joaquín (Novillo) is a player of the institution and we have to defend the club’s heritage.”
