There are defeats and defeats. Sunday's Cylinder was not one more for Independiente. The 0-1 with two more men hurts and will hurt for quite some time. It is a wound that will leave a scar. It can be lost, of course. It is within the names of the game. The problem, for the fans who watched stunned on TV, was the way. The anger was expressed immediately in the channel that by these times is usually the public space: social networks.
The sympathizers were downloaded in a nice way, mainly on Twitter. But also a few felt the need to go to the door of the Scala Hotel, where they usually concentrate the squad, to wait for the stadium's microphone to arrive on Sunday night. There were insults to everyone as they entered the lobby. And this Thursday night, when Red faces Avellaneda to Fortaleza in the first duel of the South American Cup, a stormy weather is forecast.

No one is saved from the reproaches of fans. Everyone is guilty of this moment that many in the Devil's microclimate called "a historical paper". What degree of responsibility is endorsed to each of the three legs that make up the daily life of a team that went from the hubbub of 5 to 0 to Rosario Central to suffer one of the worst humiliations of recent years in just seven days?
1) The players: They are at the tip of the pyramid of the warmth of the fans, primarily because of how they lost the classic against Racing. They did not know how to take advantage of the two extra men they had for 42 minutes. Beyond the level of play, which was neither effective nor colorful, they are called for lack of rebellion, lack of personality to impose themselves sportively before an opponent who knew himself in numerical inferiority. Of course, the character of the Academy players to endure with two less and above reach the opposing arc and convert left more in evidence to those in red shirt. Apart from this fall, it is a squad that has already been looked sideways by people because it navigates in the inconsequence from the last stage of Ariel Holan until now. In the middle passed Sebastian Beccacece and the internship of Fernando Berón, both with negative results. Many are at a low soccer level, others seem to be affected by the mood factor. The concrete thing is that they were well below what is expected in this type of transcendental matches.

2) The leaders: Almost on par with the players. The responsibility of the board of directors, commanded by Hugo Moyano, is not punctually for a party; It is indicated by making erroneous decisions in the management of football in the last year and a half, that is to say in the last three markets of passes. Independent sold very well in the first cycle of Holan, and that boasted leaders. But, beyond an exception, he bought a lot and badly for large sums of money. And since last year he began to accuse economic problems, debts due to several passes of reinforcements and delays in the payment of the salaries of the campus, which inside doors show annoyance for this. The Moyano hide in the complicated situation of the country and say that there is the cause of the evils of the club. In the last recess they did not bring incorporations. They are also criticized for keeping the attention divided between Independent, Truckers and national politics. By case, Pablo Moyano had to travel to Venezuela on Sunday to meet with Chavez deputies and participate in a march.

3) The coach: Lucas Pusineri is the one who least reproaches. The reason is obvious: it leads four official directed meetings, of which three were classics (fell with River and Racing and tied with Boca). He had a complicated input fixture. He asked for a nine and a mixed flyer, but no one arrived for the first time in the Moyano era. To top it all, he lost Nicolás Domingo, Nicolás Figal and Pablo Pérez. Sunday did not succeed in the changes. He put side by side to include the kid Ortega (debuted) by Sánchez Miño (he will say he was admonished) and it took him a while to include Roa, who is also more of having the ball than of providing vertigo (Benítez was the other option, which was left in the bank). But he has open credit among fans. Now, after the deep talk he had on Monday with his leaders, he will have to see how to heal a wound that will leave a mark. The DT asked them to perform a strong internal self-criticism. He heard from Captain Silvio Romero and Sánchez Miño words that spoke of pain, of taking charge of the moment and of wanting to reverse it. Will they redouble their confidence or reach out? There is a reality: much more than this does not have, unless it resolves to send more youth to the field.
