The defender, who is about to turn 36, spoke about the arrival of Julio Vaccari and his expectations for the new cycle.
This Thursday the professional squad of Independiente returned to training in Villa Dominico under the orders of the new coach, Julio Vaccari. The brand new coaching staff introduced themselves to the players and explained what the work would be like during the coming weeks of preseason. It is expected that there will be an evaluation period for all footballers to find out what material the coach will be able to rely on during the second half of the year.
One of the targeted players it will be Julio Buffarinidefender who came from Talleres to mid-2023 at the request of Carlos Tevez but who had very little participation in the last year. Being Mauricio Isla’s substitute, He only played eight games with Independiente (six in the 2023 Professional League Cup, one in the 2023 Argentine Cup and one in the 2024 Professional League Cup).
“I still have six months left on my contract. I have to analyze everything, first the family and then see how things turn out. The new coach is going to introduce himself, let’s see what idea he has.”Buffarini said this Wednesday in conversation with Radio ESGOL, on FM 104.7.
“I have a contract and I have to respect it. After analyzing a lot of things that happen in the preseason. I have to see first the conversation I can have with Vaccari, what idea he has.“He added, questioning its continuity.
“I know that this last semester I had to play little, but I felt that from another side I was helping and accompanying the group. I am aware that I want to play, I train to play. At this age I feel very good and I hope I can add the minutes I want to get into rhythm, because it is the only way.“, he expressed later.
In this regard, when asked about his ties with San Lorenzo, Buffa also revealed his intentions to return to the Blaugrana team. “I would like to go back for everything I went through and what I experienced in those five years. I know it’s not easy. San Lorenzo, for me, in my career was everything. My 13-year-old daughter was born there, grew up there and is a fan.”
Given the question from Isla, who declared that he will not continue in Independiente, and the lack of reinforcements due to inhibitions, the only variants for the right back today are Buffarini and Santiago Salle. Therefore, We will have to wait and see what Vaccari thinks and analyzes regarding the future of the player, who still has a contract valid until the end of the year.
