The mad 30 teams Argentine championship, divided from two areas of fifteen, culminated its regular phase. Now the playoffs are coming, an exciting instance that places two Spanish players in opposite situations.
Iker Muniain He is the captain and maximum reference of a San Lorenzo that seeks to challenge his modest soccer tools and a serious institutional crisis that crosses him. As if nothing happened, as if everything was normal, The Cyclone will receive at the Pedro Bidegain stadium to Tigre With his 10 as an emblem, already far from that muscle injury that left him outside the start of the championship.

But nothing would be defined these days. So, I would continue Mariano Herrón as an interim coach. Will it result?
