Vegetti faces Cerro Porteño backlash after 0-0 draw as fans call for him to be dropped | OneFootball

Pablo Vegetti’s honeymoon at Cerro Porteño has ended abruptly, with the 37-year-old becoming the focus of heavy criticism after a 0-0 draw with 2 de Mayo on Saturday 7. According to PaponaColina, sections of the support are urging that he be dropped.

He recently opened his account in a 2-0 win over Luqueño, but many fans and local media feel his overall impact has not justified the outlay.

Expectation was high given his prolific spell at Vasco, yet adaptation to Paraguay’s more physical, scrappier style has been slow. The muted display against 2 de Mayo triggered a wave of online protests questioning his place.

One supporter argued he either had to perform well from the first minute or fail, and that so far it looks like the latter. Another called the move a brazen waste and labelled him a completely useless foreigner.

Back in Rio de Janeiro, many Vasco fans still remember decisive goals and leadership, even if his departure divided opinion. In Asunción, the demand is for instant impact.

Cerro Porteño’s head coach is keeping faith with the Argentine, hoping his scoring touch returns with a run of games. With patience thin and alternatives on the bench, the Pirata faces a testing spell to avoid an early disappointment.
