There have been several extreme defenders who have been linked to the Crusaders in recent weeks, synonymous with the fact that the club is looking around to support Leandro Chichizola a colleague of the calibre who can provide the coach and his teammates with the guarantees needed to play in the top national competition. The Argentine seems to be able to stay in yellow and blue to play his cards, or at most, take on the role of assistant and at the same time act as a “mother hen” for the many young players in the squad.
