Ex-Colón keeper Masuero struggling at Chicago, at odds with captain | OneFootball

Nueva Chicago is going through a very fragile moment. What at the start of the season looked like a bed of roses has now changed drastically, and the outlook has turned bleak. What seemed like it could be a season to achieve the long-awaited promotion could now fall apart because of internal problems. The arrival of Luis García gave a fresh image to a squad that had fallen short the previous year.

And that harmony lasted until Matchday 8, when El Torito roared in Villa Crespo and claimed a huge win against Atlanta. Four matches have passed since that game. Chicago hasn’t won a single one (drawing three and losing the other), and everything blew up in the defeat in Paraná against Patronato: Facundo Masuero and Emiliano Méndez got into a fistfight in the locker room at halftime.

The problem, as Olé was able to learn, started on the field. Actions that were part of the game ended in the worst possible way. Allegedly, the goalkeeper had blamed the midfielder for a situation, and the veteran did not like it at all… The No. 5 ran into the locker room when the referee blew for halftime, a confrontation began in the tunnel, and when they got to the dressing room, they started throwing punches.

The team came out for the second half after this incident. Although they managed to pull one back from the 2-0 scoreline they went into the break with, it wasn’t enough and they ended up losing. The situation is not worrying because of the standings, since Luis García’s side are fifth. But the locker room is completely divided. Emiliano Méndez, one of the squad’s symbols and leaders, has a good number of players backing him. The board should take the Bull by the horns so the situation does not escalate to an even more complex level.
