“The club asked me to take a step forward”
Arenteiro will play with his goalkeeping coach under the sticks this weekend in a duel with Deportivo La Coruña. Diego Rivas is registered with the Orense team and will be the goalkeeper. “This is an extreme situation. in which the club asked me to take a step forward,” he said into the microphones of the “SER network”.
Arenteiro’s problem between the sticks is that Diego Garcia, a starter, suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury. that he will be out for the rest of the season; Manu Figueroathird goalkeeper, Pablo Brea is also injured. is on loan from Depor from the famous “fear clause” in the loan agreement.
In this situation, the figure of Diego Rivas appears as an alternative to play against Depor, which has already been confirmed after processing the file. “We tried to find alternatives on the marketbut the conditions are not simple,” says in “El Larguero” Goalkeeping coach Arenteiro, who also claims that the club has “contacted six or seven goalkeepers.”
Diego Rivas was active last season, so this won’t be too strange for him: “Before putting any fielder in danger, I prefer to take this step myself. This is not such a radical situation. Until last year I played for the Racing Ferrol team.
Regarding the point about the fear that Pablo Brea has and which does not allow him to defend Arenteiro’s goal against Depor, Diego Rivas does not enter into controversy: “These are agreements between clubs that accept all parties.”
Alex Vazquez, sporting director of Arenteiro
On Tuesday evening, Alex Vazquez, sporting director of the Orense team, was gave an interview to MARCA radio. He shares the same opinion as Diego Rivas regarding the “fear clause”: “There are contracts, and they must be fulfilled”.
Moreover, although Depor’s decision greatly harms his team, he understands Riazor’s team: “I would do the same thing if I were on the opposite side.”. And he confirms his goalkeeping coach will be wearing shorts again: “If Brea doesn’t play, goalie coach Diego Rivas will.”
