Mouth has no peace. After the 2-2 draw against Independiente, the week started very complicated for Xeneize and there was a new short circuit with Agustín Almendra.
Before the match against Central Córdoba for the Argentine Cup, the coach practiced soccer and Almendra was on the substitute team. The DT will put an alternative team for this meeting and the player did not like being left out at all.
That led him to be upset and he had a confrontation with a teammate who asked him to run more. There Battaglia intervened and there was a strong confrontation between the two. “If you don’t like it, you leave.” the DT told him and the player left practice.
The coach’s decision is that Almendra not part of the professional staff and will no longer take it into account for the season. Although what was said is not fully known, there is talk of strong words from the player to the coach and a relationship that no longer has a way to mend.
Although he is a very talented player, Almendra was the protagonist of several acts of indiscipline in recent years and that led him to not be able to consolidate himself as he could have. Absences from training, bad attitudes and now a fight that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. End of his cycle in the Xeneize?
