San Lorenzo de Almagro drew 0-0 with Estudiantes de Río Cuarto in Córdoba, a result that highlights their current crisis. The rival, fighting to avoid relegation, was merely a mirror of what the Ciclón experiences: a team with economic potential but without cohesion. The blue-and-white squad, valued at $40 million, fails to translate its budget into results. Pipo Gorosito, in his return to the club, did not find the path to lead a reaction. The lack of depth in midfield and defensive instability marked the game.
The squad, including names like Rodrigo Auzmendi, Alexis Cuello, and Nicolás Tripichio, continues without resolving its identity. Orlando Gill, suspended over his conflict with Huracán, and Gastón Hernández, recovering from a serious injury, are examples of the difficulty in maintaining a competitive squad. The draw in Córdoba, in a context of eighth position in their zone, leaves the Ciclón on the brink of relegation. Pipo Gorosito's phrase, "time is needed and everyone must pull in the same direction," highlights the urgency of change.
Injuries multiply: Reali, Blanco, Del Prete, Perrito Barrios, and others are on the discard list. The lack of creativity in play and dependence on individual players like Auzmendi do not allow a stable formula. The team, which fails to win or defend adequately, remains at 0-0. The frustration of the fans and internal instability complicate their recovery.
