Facundo Crespo has been at Club Cipolletti for five years. He was not always a starter but every time he had continuity he was among the team figures either in good or bad campaigns.
He arrived to replace Matías Alasia, who left a mark on the institution with historic performances. It was not an easy task but, over time, the man from Neuquén earned a place and exceeded all expectations.
In the current tournament, an injury in the preseason sidelined him for the start and Rafael Ferrario saved to date 13.
In the next, Crespo returned to ownership and Although Albinegro lost 1-0 with Santamarina in Tandil, they stood out save a penalty in the first half when they were 0-0.
With the change of DT and the arrival of Darío Bonjour, the former Maronese and Deportivo Roca remained in the starting eleven and he repaid trust with a brilliant task.
In the first half he took a terrific header and on the closure he showed off by stretching out his left hand and avoid an agonizing draw that would have spoiled the party at La Visera de Cemento.
“You always want to play, I did not have to start the tournament due to an injury, that relegated me. I recovered immediately and was ready to play but I always kept working hard when it wasn’t my turn. I feel part of this club and I will always defend this goal to die ”, Crespo said after the meeting.
The goalkeeper also highlighted the group level in a vital triumph to start the cycle of the new coach on the right foot and also to climb positions in the Federal A table.
“I saw the team very well, very involved, with a lot of drive and sacrifice. When you can play we also play, we have a good footing. You have to keep working, ”he assured.
Regarding the final save, which raised the entire stadium, Crespo commented: “He found me standing well and I managed to get that hand out, they were coming from us. I’m leaving happy with my performance but the team is to stand out”.
After speaking with the press, Facundo entered the locker room and his companions received him with applause and songs. An internal recognition for a footballer who always showed his face.
After this performance, It seems difficult for Crespo to be a substitute again in Cipolletti, at least in the next games.
Albinegro will play again on Saturday against Sol de Mayo in Viedma. They will be hectic days since the following Wednesday he will receive Olympus and on Sunday of that week it will be local again before Sports Circle by Nicanor Otamendi at the beginning of the third of the four rounds of the initial phase.
