And in relation to sports, Independiente will face Belgrano de Córdoba this Sunday at home, from 6:00 p.m., with
the aim of leaving the bottom of the general table
.
And he sent a clear message to the squad by revealing the poor performance of the team in his last presentation against the leader, River, at the Monumental.
"The truth is that we think that the championship is long but all the games are important. It
seemed to me that with River we do not take it this way
. Being in Independiente we must do things to be better than our rivals. It would help us a lot to play a great game ", he pointed out.
"I do not give the team because for us it is very difficult to get the eleven of the rival. Once the rival knows our names, it is organized in another way. Even the journalism knows our eleven before the players and publishes it," he said.
Looking to the future, Zielinski, with a great past at the Belgrano de Córdoba bank, commented that he has "confidence" for Sunday's game, although he warned that "you have to improve collectively."
