The first date of the 2023 Professional League will close this Monday with three games. The thing will start at 5:00 p.m. with Barracas Central vs. Godoy Cruz de Mendoza, broadcast by Public TV.
Both casts cannot be neglected thinking about the averages and they incorporated by the masses (14 reinforcements in Barracas and 11 in Godoy Cruz) while they kept their respective coaches, the duo made up of Rodolfo De Paoli and Alejandro Milano for Guapo and Diego Flores for Tomba. Among so many transfers, the most resonant was the departure of Martín Ojeda to US soccer (for 5 million dollars) and we will have to see how Godoy Cruz recovers after the departure of his great figure.
At 8:00 p.m. it will be the turn of the debut for Vélez and Gimnasia La Plata, which will also have the presentation as DT of Sergio “Chirola” Romero. With ESPN Premium encrypted television, Fortín will have to recover from the sales of the youthful midfielder Máximo Perrone to Manchester City and the daring attacker Luca Orellano to Vasco da Gama. Uruguayan Alexander Medina’s team, where midfielder Juan Ignacio Méndez will debut (he arrived from San Lorenzo) faces a semester in which he will have no international competition, a rarity in Liniers.
El Lobo, who will have the Copa Sudamericana this year, will begin a new era after the departure of Pipo Gorosito like DT and several of his recent figures, such as the goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey (Independiente) or the skilled midfielder Braian Aleman (Banfield). Gymnastics is involved in a serious financial situation, debt to the team included, and did not incorporate players during the preseason.
Banfield and Unión will also be playing at the same time at the Florencio Sola stadium, with coded television from TNT Sports. El Taladro and El Tatengue cannot be neglected with relegation either and that is why they have incorporated a lot for this season.
Javier Sanguinetti’s team will have several debuts, including that of the Uruguayan Aleman, the defender Emanuel Olivera (Nacional de Medellín of Colombia) and the striker Sebastián Sosa Sánchez (Everton of Chile), among others). Unión, meanwhile, sold the steering wheel Juan Nardoni to Racing for a million-dollar figure and brought in a former Academy to replace him, veteran left-handed Luciano Aued (Catholic University of Chile).
