Last Tuesday (25), Athletico won his spot in the eighths of the finals of the Brazil Cup in a dramatic way, as he only passed the CRB On the penalty, in the Arena da Baixada. Amid this scenario, the Rubro-Negra fans returned their criticisms of Paulo Turra's work. In addition, another issue has emerged in the last few days, since a pair of R$ 28 million ‘missed’ in Hurricane. The technician, in turn, explained the reason for this and revealed behind the scenes.
That's because both Canobbio and Cuello began to be replaced in the Athletic in 2023. The two became holders under Turra's command, but they ended up appearing in the reserve bank recently and were even off the list of associates. It is important to note that Uruguayan and Argentine are in the top-4 most expensive contracts in Hurricane history, however, the football presented so far has not corresponded to the height.
Canobbio did not play the last three games of Athletico in the season (CRB, Fluminense and Atlético-MG, the last time he entered the field was on the last day 12. Cuello was already the holder against Flu, when the coach climbed a mixed team in Brasileirão, but was not even related to the decision of the Brazilian Cup. Asked about this, Paulo Turra opened the game about the situation of the two Hurricane athletes.
Turra justified the absence of Canobbio and Cuello to strong competition in the attack of Athletico, which has David Terans, Romulus, Thiago Andrade and William Bigode as options, besides Reinaldo, Julimar and Arriagada, who run on the outside in the dispute: "I talk daily with them, who are working and at a time of individual technical refinement. At the right time, that we find them ready, they will return," said Hurricane's coach in a press conference.
