Néstor Di Pierro exploded at the squad after the defeat in the derby against Almirante Brown: “They’re cowards, they have no attitude or passion.”
Néstor Di Pierro, president of Chacarita, who recently lost the derby against Almirante Brown and is currently eighth in Group B of the Primera Nacional, did not hold back in criticizing the players of his professional squad: “I’m disappointed by the situation we’re going through. I’m hurt and angry seeing how the fans left crying yesterday. These players don’t even deserve a tear from us. Not all of them, some... They look like cabaret ladies.”
Di Pierro, upset because his team hasn’t won in five matches, continued: “They have everything: psychologist, nutritionist, hotels, salaries paid on time, trips... I don’t know what else they need. Maybe they need something else. They have no attitude, no passion,” on the program “Mano a mano Chacarita.”
The Funebrero lost 1-0 to Almirante Brown at home. On this, the club official commented: “Yesterday was a match to pull ahead. Eight rounds ago we were second, twelve rounds ago we were first. Now we’re seeing if we can make it into the playoffs and maybe play in the Copa Argentina, after all the effort we’ve made.”
He then added: “Don’t ask me what happened, ask the players. Before, it was the coach, that they didn’t get along... Now are they going to blame the coach again? They should stop dyeing their hair blond, stop wearing red boots. And if I catch any of them at the club, I’ll break their head myself. I shouldn’t talk like this as the club president. But last night, like most of us who love the club, I couldn’t sleep.”
Finally, Di Pierro concluded: “If you pamper them and give them everything, you’re always on top of them and they pay you back like this... Then now you have to be tough. Let’s see if by being tough they understand things.”
The Buenos Aires side started the campaign well under Juan Manuel Azconzábal, but the “Vasco” resigned his contract in August. Carlos Mayor took over: he drew in his debut against Chaco For Ever and lost to Almirante. Their next challenge will be visiting Central Norte de Salta next Sunday.
