“Only hard work gets you out”: Falcioni on Atlético Tucumán's dip | OneFootball

The crisis at Atlético Tucumán has no bottom. The defeat against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal was another slap in the face for a team that has gone three matches without a win and has dangerously started looking at the relegation average table with different eyes. In an atmosphere of growing unrest among the fans, Julio César Falcioni broke his silence and sent a message of calm, though with a clear demand for what lies ahead.

“You get out of this by working very hard. We have to reach the end by collecting as many points as possible and then see what we need for the second half of the year,” the “Emperor” said after the 1-0 defeat. The coach is aware that the current squad has come up short, and his plan is ambitious: weather the storm with what he has and bet on a strong transfer window, where he will ask for top-level players to secure survival.

The outlook for the Decano before the break is demanding. They will have to host Banfield at the Monumental José Fierro and then make up the postponed match against River in Núñez. In addition, they have the clash against Talleres in the Copa Argentina on the horizon, a competition that could offer some relief or end up sinking the ship completely in a forgettable half of the year.
