The Pumas sporting director has indicated that some teams have asked for Dinenno, so they will not rule out a possible offer for the striker
Jesús Ramírez acknowledged that buying good players and promoting them in Puma and then selling them is and will continue to be the team’s philosophy, so he acknowledges that Juan Ignacio Dinenno will have to leave at some point and for that they are preparing, as it happened in his time with Ismael Sosa, Nicolás Castillo or Carlos González.
The sports director of the UNAM club explained, in an interview given to ESPN Digital: “Imagine, in the case of Carlos González, you try to remember him, but when they come and tell you” here is the money “. And when there are no tickets, when there is no sale of waste and all that stuff, the truth is that the pandemic was a huge economic problem, because if it’s not selection and sponsorships, where do you get money?
“We don’t have a company to support us and tell us, here is that money. The truth is that the work of the engineer from Polo (Leopoldo) Silva with the administrative area was titanic. To what generates the salary and everything it generates, you add a very good amount of money generated by PCR tests, which is also an extraordinary expense … So even if sometimes you don’t want to sell to a player, the situation obliges ”.
Regarding whether the technicians already come to Puma with this premise, he replied: “It is good to ask me this, because it is not easy to choose a technician here. One, we are talking about capacity, but the next and one of the most important, is that it must adapt to the Pumas philosophy, not Pumas to a technician ”.
“It happened to me, so I think it was a congruent decision to leave Andrés (Lillini); When I talked to him, he knew perfectly well about philosophy, about the obligation, in quotes, to play with the children, because that’s what we have and I tell you, the margin of choice is reduced ”.
– Because of that philosophy that Pumas manages, will Dinenno be sold at any time?
“Well, look, I think if he does the season he did, it’s normal for someone to come and ask for it. So we have to be prepared as we are now to bring in someone. “
In the same vein, Jesús Ramírez stressed that when selling to this class of players, they must continue their conviction to train players and take advantage of the goal they can have with Pumas Tabasco. In all this, the fact of deciding to bring an experience before the Panamanian Gabriel Torres is implicit.
“EXPRESS COMMITMENT”
“He takes Gabriel a little taller, but he adapts … He has experience and he adapts to what Andrés (Lillini) wants, after seeing several options.”
“In the discussion with the engineer Silva and Andrés, it was decided that he must come. I see him very willing, with many desires; we hope that everything he did, obviously he is a guy who scores goals, comes and contributes to the team ”.
“Chucho” Ramírez specified that “Gaby” Torres does not reach Puma as a free player: “Of course not, he belongs to the University of Chile. He received a loan for a year, with the option to buy … In fact, in this regard, the board led by engineer “Polo” Silva, made a great effort, because there is no “wool”, there is no way how … but well, obviously, we had to strengthen this position.
“In any case, our project included children; in this case, Montejano, who plays in that position. No matter if he comes (Torres), Andrés will definitely give the children minutes, as has been the case since last season, where youngsters train with the first team, go with Pumas Tabasco, come back, can go to or can be used even by Andrés. In other words, the flow of home players’ movement will continue. “
About whether Gabriel Torres has already earned a place to be a landmark as a striker, he replied: “Yes. Well, obviously you have to prove everything you did. As I told you, I saw several options for the central striker and Andrés was the one who attracted the most attention from everything that was presented to him. And I had seen it before. It was an express negotiation, in two days it was remedied “.
He said that what attracted the most attention of the Panamanian is that “he plays very simply, defines well and scores goals. He has experience in the selection, in Libertadores, in South America; I think it is a good contribution for a team that is full of children, to help them grow. Their job is to score goals, but the contribution to the team is also very important. “
– How long will you continue with this philosophy of bringing players who perform for them and when they give achievements, to sell them?
“Well, this is what characterizes Pumas: The players are empowered, they play and, through a logical consequence, other teams come as well. Throughout the tournament there were unofficial offers from Dinenno, Mozo; In other words, they ask about different players and there, Pumas Tabasco becomes much more important, because it gives children a few minutes to mature; as is the case with players like Jacob Morales (21 years old) or Jesús Rivas (10 years old) ”.
