This Friday, September 16, was a special day for Tomás Alarcón’s Cádiz. For the opening of the sixth date of the Spanish League, the Andalusian cast won 1-0 in discounts once morest Valladolid and just obtained the first points of the season. However, the Chilean was not even on the bench.
Yes it was included by the DT Sergio Gonzalez on the list of the 24 players who traveled to Valladolid, but in the end his name did not appear on the 12 substitutes. The beginning of the football year has been irregular for the midfielder who emerged from O’Higgins: he has registered two games as a starter and in another couple of games he came on from the bench.
good premiere
Alarcón’s current situation marks a clear counterpoint with what he experienced when he landed in Spain. He arrived at Cádiz in mid-2021 and was immediately inserted into the Cádiz cast, which aimed at the central objective of achieving permanence.
The first year of the Chilean in the Hispanic league concluded with a record of 23 games played and 16 duels from the first minute. In addition, his team remained in the First Division.
An ideal premiere for Alarcón. He also broke into the Red, participating in the Copa América in Brazil and in the Qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup, under the technical direction of Martín Lasarte.
New era in the Red
I replaced the Uruguayan Eduardo Berizzo. The Argentine began his stage in the Red during the tour to Asia, directing the recently arrived national team. Despite not having made the call, which was in charge of the National Sports Directorate of the ANFP, headed by Francis Cagigao.
Alarcón started in a 2-0 loss once morest South Korea. Then, in the Kirin Cup, he replaced Gary Medel, at 59 minutes, in the 0-2 once morest Tunisia. He then returned to play from the opening minute, on June 14, once morest Ghana (0-0).
Therefore, his presence was expected in Berizzo’s first call for friendlies once morest Morocco and Qatar. Against the Africans, Chile will play on Friday, September 23 in Barcelona and once morest the World Cup hosts the duel will be in Vienna, Austria. However, finally the wheel was not included by the trans-Andean.
Among the 28 nominees, Berizzo opted for Esteban Pavez, William Alarcon and Erick Pulgar in the center steering wheel position. The DT uses the 1-4-3-3 game system, which gives rise to the unique participation of a cutting midfielder. Clearly, the man from Cadiz, for now, is not in the coach’s consideration.
