A leadership referenced by leaders who continue to accumulate failures at this club and are close to bringing in the fifth coach in four years, according to the Argentine News Agency. Any renowned coach can arrive at Independiente, but as long as this group of players is in the team, the 'Red' will continue to drift in the middle of the Argentine league table and squander its prestige. In addition to the anger and whistles directed at the squad, Saturday night in Avellaneda was the scene of the breakdown in the relationship between goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey, one of the leaders of this player group, and a fan who refused his hand and began to whistle and boo him every time he touched the ball, even more so after he made a gross error on Talleres' first goal, coming out to chase butterflies on a corner kick that Augusto Schott anticipated and headed in. Independiente was having a decent match, and confirmation of this was the goal from Paraguayan Gabriel Ávalos, the only one who performs consistently match after match. But for the team and any group of players, it is extremely demotivating that every shot on goal results in a goal, and this insecurity is generated by the goalkeeper, who has already completed a cycle at the 'Red', just like the other leaders Iván Marcone and Federico Mancuello, two players nearing retirement who have the highest salaries on the squad and have only given the fans headaches. Likewise, the leadership should give the members an explanation for the signing of a player like Milton Valenzuela, whose level is worthy of the Metropolitan B Division. Buenos Aires, March 22 (NA) – Independiente's coach, Gustavo Quinteros, will face the Avellaneda derby against Racing next weekend, April 5, in a match that will sentence his future at the club, for better or worse. The 'Red' lost 2-1 to Talleres de Córdoba this Saturday at the Libertadores de América - Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium, in a very heated atmosphere where the fans forgave no one, neither the executives, the coaching staff, nor the players. The member again showed his frustration with the football situation, in which the coach was left hanging by a thread, and with the club's institutional situation in a year that will have elections in December and where the political atmosphere is already beginning to be felt in the vicinity of the stadium, with groups already campaigning and an official party that has its ticket punched and is beginning to look for how to position itself in other movements for the elections. The one who also seems to have his ticket punched is Quinteros, at least from the squad that plays and acts as if they want to get the former Vélez manager fired. A defender who cannot pass the ball to a teammate's foot even when they are centimeters away, and if he does make a pass, he directs it above the knees. He retreats amateurishly, is not capable of attacking the opponent in defense to win the ball, doesn't know how to shoot from long distance, loses his mark easily, and gets beaten for position, perhaps one of the worst left-backs Independiente has had. In this context, with the match against Atenas de Río Cuarto for the Argentine Cup in between, Quinteros will be playing for his future at Independiente in the derby against the hot streaking Racing, which has won 5 of the last 8 matches, at home. The coach is not exempt from this meager present either, and in the face of the players' naivety and poor performance, he has fallen into a accumulation of erroneous decisions on and off the field, failing in substitutions and in his tactical approaches. In the midst of another of the infinite storms that Independiente has been experiencing in this constant loop since 2000, the 'Red', as an institution, must aim to get through the year as a transition until December, the month in which elections will be held. There, the members will have the opportunity to vote and remove the leaders who have been entrenched at the Avenida Mitre headquarters in Avellaneda for two decades.
