During the Members’ Assembly of Crusadersthe sports manager José María Buljubasich responded to the questions of some signings in recent years, with Nehuén Paz as a great example, to make a mea culpa of certain decisions.
“The deadline was a mistake, there is no doubt about that.. There are two parts, one objective and the other subjective. The objective part has to do with when one makes the contract or invests in a player. Amortization, more years, hits less per year, therefore, there is an objective part that could be good,” he expressed.
“The subjective part is part of the error. We came from a positive dynamic, we came from four years, or six if we wanted to add 2016, where that dynamic worked. The players who were arriving added to a positive dynamic and everything worked,” he added.
“At that moment, one believes that everything is going to work out well, and unfortunately from the year 2022 we enter a negative dynamic. It cost us a lot and in light of the facts, such a long contract ended up being something very negative,” he continued.
“Tati” remarked on Paz’s contract extension that “we regret having made it so long, but we do not regret the contracts. We were wrong about the deadline and We hope not to make those mistakes again.“.
With just 13 games with the team, UC and Paz agreed to terminate their relationship last January. In Independiente Rivadavia the defender barely played a game in the concluded Argentine League Cup.
Besides, Buljubasich in the assembly had brief words about the future of Alexander Aravena and assured that an exit “is a possibility”and that the player “has expressed his desire at the time not to leave in December of last year and not to leave in January of this year.”
According to the former goalkeeper, it was decided to “bet on June“Therefore, the option to leave is there.” Adding to Juan Tagle’s statements with Cooperativa Deportes, he said that “the expectation of the club and the player is that the operation be carried out in the best possible conditions for all parties.”
