Coach Fornasari Explains Limited Minutes

“He finishes all the training sessions with the group, but he still lacks football rhythm, which he is going to catch on to little by little.”

Fornasari also revealed a pre-planned approach to integrating Centurión into the squad.

“We had talked that we were going to take him very carefully and little by little, so that he feels good and discover your best version, but being physically well. So that’s why the number of minutes he played,”

he added.
