Sebastián Domínguez
suffered his second defeat as coach of
Tigre
, a team that
finished last in Group B
of the
League Cup
and
He only got five points in 14 dates. In this context, the coach experienced an unusual moment in the conference after falling 1 to 0 against
Unión
, a moment in which a journalist used the seconds that are usually given to the press to ask questions to carry out
a
catharsis against the team
.
"
In my heart, there are players who cannot play in Tigre because they are turtles
.
I am going to give you names: Sánchez Miño is a turtle, I don't know how he can play in Tigre and I don't know what you will see in him
," the colleague began. Immediately afterwards, he expanded: "
I appreciate your pride in having taken over this team because seeing these dead people, the truth is that if I were a coach I wouldn't take over
."

Far from making a query, the man in question took responsibility away from the former footballer who had just taken over and reiterated that the squad does not meet the necessary requirements to wear his club's shirt. "
I don't blame you because we have been seeing these dead people. They are dead
," he said. Surprised by the situation, the technician laughed and replied: "
What's the question? That was a shock
."
After the tense moment he experienced, the new Matador technical director analyzed the game and recognized the work of his team. "The tie suited the game. The boys are eager to keep trying.
Without a doubt, if we can, we will strengthen ourselves, but I also want to improve those who are there
. I trust them," he said. In turn, he took advantage of the question to refer to the next transfer market. "
We must notify those that we will not take into account in advance so that they can look for a club
," he insisted.
Tiger, increasingly complicated
Tigre
was eliminated from the League Cup for having finished last in its zone. Throughout this season,
Matador
(which was directed by
Pipo Gorosito
in the first instance and is now in charge of
Sebastián Domínguez
)
only won one of the 14 games it played
. Therefore, beyond not having been able to qualify for the next stage of the competition,
it was complicated in the average table, where it is ranked 23 out of 28
. Furthermore, if the championship ended today,
it would be relegated by annual table
.
With this panorama at hand,
the Victoria team is obliged to rebound in the Professional League
, a competition in which it will debut on May 12 against
Estudiantes
. Then, they will complete the remaining 27 dates against
Rosario Central
,
Racing
,
River
,
Belgrano
,
Argentinos Juniors
,
Central Córdoba
,
Deportivo Riestra
,
Lanús
,
Godoy Cruz
,
Sarmiento
,
Unión
,
Huracán
,
Gimnasia
,
Newell's
,
Independiente
,
Atlético Tucumán
,
Boca
,
Talleres
,
Platense
,
Vélez
,
Defensa y Justicia

Banfield

Sebastián Domínguez in Tigre: how he did in his first games and until when does he have a contract
Although he took over to direct the last two dates of the League Cup,
Sebastián Domínguez still did not achieve a victory with
Tigre
. In the first instance he lost 3 to 1 against
Platense
in his debut and, now, he suffered a defeat again against
Unión
.
As confirmed by the Matador authorities,
the new coach signed a contract with the institution for one year
. However, after the loss to Calamar, the former footballer did not rule out resigning sooner if he cannot accommodate the team's situation. "
The players believe me and that is what always keeps a coach going beyond the results. The day they don't believe me, I resign
," he expressed in his first press conference.
