What happened between Solari and his team-mates before Aldosivi draw | OneFootball

At Racing, the 1-1 draw against Aldosivi in Mar del Plata was just the tip of the iceberg. While Gustavo Costas’ team continues to struggle and the footballing crisis deepens, the absence of Santiago Solari from the squad list set off all the alarms. Although the club officially reported it as muscle overload, the reality is that the atmosphere in the dressing room is on the verge of collapse.

As TyC Sports was able to learn, last week Solari had a heated argument with two of the squad’s leaders during training. Although it did not come to blows, the verbal clash escalated and reflected the frustration of several players over the constant complaints from the former Defensa y Justicia man, an attitude he has been repeating both in matches and day to day at the training ground.

Added to this is the team’s poor run of form: La Academia is coming off defeats in the clásicos against Independiente and River, as well as the blow against Botafogo in the Sudamericana. Costas himself did not hide his frustration after the draw with el Tiburón: “I didn’t feel like coming. It was an attitude problem, this is not the team I want,” Costas said, making it clear that the group is emotionally shaken.

Along the same lines, Bruno Zuculini faced the media and was self-critical: “We fell completely short.” With the team sitting eighth in Zone B, next Friday’s match against Barracas Central will be a real test. It remains to be seen whether Solari, once recovered from his physical issue, will be considered again by Costas, who is desperately trying to regain control of a dressing room that now looks like a powder keg.
