When the first official match for Barcelona SC of the season, before Montevideo City Torque for the first phase of the Libertadores Cupthe technician Fabian Bustos recognizes about the changes made to the rear and that Byron Castillo work for your recovery.

“Byron (Castle) is doing very well, has worked alongside his peers, intensifying the physical part and the work with the doctors. I see him with a lot of desire to be available to the team, it will depend (if he recovers) if he is there to play for a while, 40 minutes, half an hour, 70, 80 or 90 minutes. The truth he is a very important player for us and I think we have managed to give him two spectacular years due to his effort, professionalism and we want him to continue along that line”, said the yellow coach.

In relation to the change in the defense that acted in the 2021 season, Bustos acknowledged that he is waiting for his coupling. “The defense is completely new or, at least, those who alternated and played many more games. Today except for (Javier) Burrai, there is none. We brought back two players who were champions with us and who are clear about our way of playing and our way of working: Pedro Pablo Velasco and Darío Aimar. We have incorporated Luca Sosa, there is Josué Quiñónez, the only difference is that Darío has 200 games in the first division (category) and Josué 4 or 5. We have Paco Rodríguez, who is a good addition, and on the left we have Lonel (Quiñónez) who already worked with us last year and knows the world of Barcelona, ​​who knows the enormous possibility of seizing that title and gaining a foothold; we have Jonathan Perlaza, who is much more versatile, he is a boy who attacks very well and who can play in that position”.

Regarding the condition of Carlos Garcés and Erick Castillo, Bustos indicated: “Carlitos is fine, he had a problem that prevented him from playing on the Yellow Night, and due to the great work of the medical staff he has recovered.”

“Erick, after having done the studies, ended up being an injury that has kept him on the sidelines and this last week he worked alongside his teammates and I wouldn’t believe he’s 100%, but he always wants to be there, obviously we’re going to be cautious, we can not put it and maybe lose it in a beginning of the year where we have many competitions, let’s go calmly. The intention is to have it well and not just for one match, but for the succession of matches and if God wants, we do things well and we manage to pass the phase, already with the double competition, we have to have a very good 23, 24 way,” he said.

Bustos pointed out that to overcome what was done in the 2021 season, more work is needed, generate more and when reviewing what was done last year, he recognized that the team lacked effectiveness to open the scoring in the Maracaná and in the Monumental (Banco Pichincha) , in the semifinal against Flamengo. “I highlight the hierarchy of my team that got to the semifinals with three Brazilian teams where there was no Argentine or Uruguayan team (football powers in the region)”.
