FC Juárez cut a five-game-winning-streak which Tigres was carrying until their draw, last night. After the game, in which Tigres was superior to their rivals but weren't able to beat them, Tigres fans got to social media to criticize the midfielder and even invented him a new nickname.

"Handbreak" is the creative nickname Twitter user @Garrazza used to mock and protest against Guido Pizarro. He blames him of losing his dynamic game, which characterized him some years ago. As Pizzarro is the defensive midfielder of the team, his slowness affects the whole team.

Pizzarro arrived at Tigres from Lanús in 2013 and remains at the Felinos until 2017, when he was bought by Sevilla, which by then was coached by Jorge Sampaoli, who will soon after be named Argentinian coach. Pizzarro just stayed in Sevilla for a season and a half, although he was starter in most of the games.

Since he returned to Tigres, in 2018, he has played 38 games but hasn't been able to find his pace and controlled the team. Fans keep their patience with Pizzarro because his has won six titles with the team, but anyway the have already found a new nickname for him in case hi can't leave his "handbreak" behavior back.
