Hard line at Tiburón: Junior Arias and four others frozen out | OneFootball

Damonte informed them that Junior Arias, Rodrigo Márquez, Roberto Bochi, Joaquín Novillo, and Guillermo Enrique will no longer be part of the team for the final stretch of the Apertura. The Mar del Plata side still hasn’t won a match in the tournament and sits second from bottom in the standings.

According to reports, the departures of Arias, Márquez, Bochi, and Novillo are due to poor performances on the pitch. Meanwhile, full-back Guillermo Enrique had reportedly expressed his dissatisfaction over the lack of playing time, which sped up his exit from the group.

With this move, Damonte is looking to shake up a squad he did not put together from the start. Without these players, the coaching staff will have to promote youth players and wait for reinforcements that fit the club’s budget in a critical situation. The idea is to use these open spots to bring in new faces who better fit the coach’s tactical system.

The outlook for the Shark is complicated: they have just six points and have recorded two defeats and one draw since Damonte’s arrival. Without the five “cast-offs,” the team will have to face the end of the semester with limited rotation and the urgent need to pick up points to climb out of the bottom of the table.
