A glimmer of hope for the midfielder. Sporting Cristal added a new day of training as part of their preseason, with an eye towards the start of the Torneo Apertura and, of course, thinking about the Copa Libertadores (Phase 2). And in the midst of all this scenario, the main novelty was the presence of Diego Buonanotte, who joined the celestial works in La Florida.
It was the athlete himself who shared his return to the Bajopontino team on his social media, taking a picture in the facilities of the institution rimense, the team with which he has a contract until the end of this season. Pay attention to one detail, although Diego Buonanotte returned to train with Sporting Cristal, his future in the club is not completely assured, since the coaching staff led by Tiago Nunes communicated that they would not consider him for the main squad.
However, the Argentine player could convince the new celestial DT, so he will do everything to impress him in these sessions that the bajopontinos will have, before the start of the local championship.
A couple of weeks ago, Joel Raffo, president of Sporting Cristal, said in a press conference that "the decision of the coach prevailed over the other variables that we, as an institution, evaluate. In that sense, the idea is to find an alternative solution because Diego (Buonanotte) came to the club to play. Anticipating that problem, the club made the decision to take some time to see what solution it would give to the issue."
This is how the Liga 1 will start for Sporting Cristal
The team led by Brazilian Tiago Nunes will make its debut in the next edition of Liga 1 against Academia Cantolao, playing at home. After that, Sporting Cristal will visit Unión Comercio, one of the newly promoted teams to the top category of the local championship.
Speaking of classic rivals, the celestials will face Alianza Lima in the third round of the Torneo Apertura, and will have to visit Universitario de Deportes, at the Monumental stadium in Ate, on matchday 13 of the national competition.
