The leader of the Professional League Tournament wants to stamp his authority on a grand debut in the federal league, and that is why Insúa does not underestimate any rival.
The start of 2023 has been brilliant for San Lorenzo, who sits atop the Professional League standings and aligns fully with Rubén Darío Insúa’s project. Returning to Boedo less than a year ago, he lifted the team from the bottom of the table and now, with 16 points from 21, carries the confidence of a squad propelled by belief and momentum. The challenge ahead is clear: maintain the surge and translate it into success on every stage the club aims for.
Next up, the Cyclone turns its attention to a different horizon: the Argentine Cup. The team will make its round of 32 entry against Sarmiento de Resistencia, a side competing in the Federal A Tournament. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, March 15 at 9 p.m. at Brigadier López Stadium, the home ground of Colón de Santa Fe, a venue known for its passionate atmosphere and competitive history.
THE CALL OF SAN LORENZO
Following a convincing 4-0 victory over Gimnasia, San Lorenzo faces a few selection choices. Insúa himself confirms that some familiar names will miss out due to accumulated workload. Bareiro and Elias are sidelined after substantial playing time, while Barrios is not yet back to full effectiveness. Coach de Gallego explained that these players remain part of the broader squad, and all three traveled with the 24-man delegation to Santa Fe, ready to contribute when needed.
THE FORMATION OF SAN LORENZO
The Cuervo’s approach might appear traditional, yet it reveals a clear, methodical plan: there are no hidden tricks in football, only well-understood roles and disciplined execution. At the post-training press conference, Insúa outlined the changes and confirmed the lineup that would accompany the team onto the pitch. Roca Sanchez and Nicolas Blandi step in to replace Elías and Bareiro, while Augustine Giay fills in for Luján and Ivan Leguizamon steps in for Cerutti.
“In this championship, as has long been proven, there are no easy opponents. Every match is a test, and we meet it with the same seriousness as we do the league games,” the coach stated, underscoring the consistent focus across the squad and the appetite for competitive consistency throughout the campaign. The starting eleven that will begin the match includes August Battle; Rafael Perez, Federico Gattoni, Gaston Hernandez; Agustín Giay, Carlos Sanchez, Agustín Martegani, Malcolm Braida; Andrés Vombergar, Nicolas Blandi, and Ivan Leguizamon.
