The five-time championship is a reality. In a season marked by bubbles, travel, the particular situations that a pandemic makes you live with every day, although it takes getting used to, the team led by Silvio Santander went from lowest to highest and achieved a historic milestone in the LNB: being five-time champion and finishing to confirm that it dominates the local scene of the orange.
But as told this media does less than a week, the situation changed: with the departure of Marcelo Tinelli from the club’s presidency and being the first financial contributor to the discipline, added to the decision of Horacio Arreceygor, current president in office of San Lorenzo, to cut the budget of the club as much as possible. club, the question fell from mature: Are you still basketball? What can happen? Is the square sold and such a place of privilege that it cost so much to obtain, based on work, effort and titles, is lost? We will try to unveil these questions that seem to be getting answers.
To the tranquility of many, who even generated a hashtag on social networks in repudiation of the possible decision that evaluated the CD in response to the SLP note (#LaPlazaNoSeVende) everything seems to indicate at this time that San Lorenzo basketball will continue to compete: After some talks and a meeting that took place this Thursday afternoon between Arreceygor, Fabián Borro (president of the Argentine Basketball Confederation) and Roberto Álvarez, member of the Board of Directors and former Vice 2 of CASLA, there is optimism in Boedo, as it would be close to getting the contributions for the sponsorship and in this way maintaining the place in the LNB: How? The budget would be much smaller, between 60 and 70 million pesos, without foreigners and analyzing nationals case by case, since without going any further, Nicolás Romano left the institution and analyzes his future. With this paradigm shift, he aims to reach the playoffs and in the heads up to see what each rival is made of and the raven team itself.
The emblem of the team, Nicolás Penka Aguirre waits for everything to be confirmed by the club and there he will listen to the proposal made by the managers and analyze his future, since he has proposals to go to play abroad, although he is very comfortable in Boedo. For his part, the coach Silvio Santander is going to terminate his contract because he wants to direct abroad.
Although details are lacking, history seems to smile on San Lorenzo with basketball and it will probably go in search of more glory from next season.
