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 only the tip of the iceberg. While Gustavo Costas’s team still can’t get back on track and the footballing crisis keeps deepening, the absence of Santiago Solari from the squad list set off all the alarms. Although the club officially reported a muscle overload, the reality is that the atmosphere in the dressing room is on the verge of collapse.

According to what TyC Sports was able to find out, last week Solari had a heated argument with two senior players 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.

Adding to this is the team’s poor run of form: La Academia are coming off derby defeats against Independiente and River, as well as the blow against Botafogo in the Copa 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.

In the same vein, Bruno Zuculini stepped up and was self-critical: “We are completely in debt”. 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 a Costas who is desperately trying to regain control of a dressing room that now looks like a powder keg.
