Athletico will still play two to four games in this Paranaense Championship (the semifinals against the Workers and a possible decision) and these matches will still cause a headache for Coach Cuca in choosing the related players. More specifically with regard to foreigners.
The competition regulation allows only five non-Brazilian athletes to go to a game. Today, Hurricane has nine gringos in the group (Leo Godoy, Gamarra, Esquivel, Zapelli, Benítez, Canobbio, Cuello, Di Yorio and Mastriani). Number that until last week was ten, but Arriada was borrowed.
With that, in the next duels almost half of them will be left out.. Recovered from a pubalgia, suffered defending Argentina in the Pre-Olympic, but not yet 100%, The Side-Left Esquivel is out, at least from going against the Ghost, which solves a situation.
Running in the Athletic according to functions
In the 6×0 round on the Londrina, last Sunday (10), Cuca chose to leave out the defender Gamarra and the attackers Romeo Benítez and Di Yorio. The choices were made upon the other pieces that he would have at his disposal for positions.
"They stayed out because there are only five foreigners. The Gamarra trained all week, but we recovered Thiago (Helene) and I having Pedro Henrique in the bank do not need another quarterback in the bank. So I'd rather take Godoy to give minutage to him, who has been training very well," said the coach.
In defense, they were related before the Shark Kaique Rocha, Thiago Heleno and Pedro Henrique, while to attack the choices were Canobbio, Cuello, Julimar, Mastriani and Pablo.
All time available
As of April, Athletico will have virtually no more limitations on his cast. The South American Cup premiere is scheduled to be between April 2 and 4. The following weekend, on day 7, the last match of the final Paranaense and next, on 13 or 14, the Hurricane starts the Brasileirão against the Cuiabá. Finally, in May, comes the third stage of the Brazilian Cup.
And in these competitions almost all foreigners may enter the field at the same time, if Cuca chooses this situation. In Sula there is no limit to using players from other countries. For Brasileirão, the limit has increased to nine, exactly the number of gringos that Hurricane has available. Only the Copa do Brasil will still reserve two cuts, since it follows with only seven authorized foreigners.
“Those who stayed outside I talked to them, explained that there is nothing to do except shoot. But in Brazilian and hearts the limit is higher and we can use them", pointed Cuca, who for the one-way duel against the Phantom, Saturday (16), at 16h, at Germano Krüger, will have to leave players out.
