New Midfielder
By: Alan | June 30th, 2008
We now have a new midfielder to go with the new forward.
Dario Botinelli will join Atlas from U. Católica de Chile. I guess if Vargas was hired to replace Marioni, Botinelli was hired to replace Medina who left to America.
Again, all these one for one acquisitions seem to hint that Atlas is not going to play any differently than last season, they’re just filling in vacancies. I don’t know how I feel about that, I know Atlas did really well in both the domestic and Libertadores but a big reason they were able to do that was the individual players. I think that with new players a new formation would be good, of course, I’m just assuming they are not going to change their formation so I guess we’ll have to wait to the start of the season.
In other player news, Achucarro has been demoted to the Academicos club of the Primera A. This move has been made in order to help steady his rehabilitation. He is expected to return to Atlas in the middle of October.

Congrats on picking up Botinelli. He’s a solid, explosive player. Hopefully, he’ll have little to no trouble adapting to Mexican football and could prove to be a positive point to this off season.

Wow I wonder how they got his signature! Lots of teams were competing for him, including America at one point. A really talented player. If he plays well then everyone will forget about Medina and Marioni (yeah he’s that good).
Also.. he needs to control his temper..

Yeah, he is good, but he was acting like a total punk in Libertadores vs America.
