Geronimo RULLI mistake for Real Sociedad in La Liga draw against Rayo

68

Argentina goalkeeper Geronimo RULLI once more was at fault for a goal he let in for his club.

If last season wasn’t a good one for RULLI, this one isn’t starting off too much better. The former Estudiantes goalkeeper was called-up for Argentina and received his first cap in the team’s 3-0 win against Guatemala. Yet despite the call-up, RULLI hasn’t had the best of performances for Sociedad.

A less than stellar performance against Barcelona was later followed by a poor showing in Sociedad’s 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Speaking with Spanish media MARCA, RULLI had this to say about his displays:

“I’ll change the whistles for applause, this is the goal in my head. I want to thank the fans who applauded me and have supported me, while this club has taken care of me as if I have come through the youth system.

“In my head I am fine, I am remaining calm and will look to turn the situation around, and of course it was frustrating we did not win.

“Now I am only worried about training and competing to ensure the coach has confidence in me again.”

This is following the performance of Sergio ROMERO of Manchester United where ROMERO was sent off for handling the ball outside of the penalty area.

Argentina goalkeeper Sergio ROMERO was sent off for Manchester United in their 2-2 (8-7 penalty) loss to Derby County.

In a rare start for his club, goalkeeper Sergio ROMERO got himself red carded for handling the ball outside of his penalty area. Prior to his sending off, ROMERO was playing well, despite letting in a goal (a fantastic free kick which left ROMERO flat footed).

With the match tied at 1-1, the ball was coming forward and ROMERO came out of his penalty area and as the Derby player shot the ball, ROMERO extended himself and blocked it with his left hand outside of the area.

Sergio ROMERO is expected to be included in Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI’s squad for the upcoming friendly matches.

Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI: “Lionel MESSI will not be called-up”

Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI has confirmed that Lionel MESSI will not be included in the latest squad.

With Lionel MESSI not appearing at the FIFA Best gala due to family reasons, Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI was present and did speak with the media regarding the Barcelona and Argentina captain. Speaking with Fox Sports, here’s what the coach had to say:

“I spoke with him (MESSI) and we continue to think it’s best that he doesn’t come, he won’t be called. We are in a different stage and these kids (that will be called) have to keep wearing the Argentina shirt to see what they can do, that’s the most important thing.”

The latest Argentina squad is expected to be announced within the next hours.
