Miguel Marcelo Brizuela (born 5 January 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Instituto, on loan from Vélez Sarsfield. [3]
Brizuela had a short stint with River Plate, prior to penning terms with Vélez Sarsfield's ranks. [1] [4] He is a product of the latter's academy, with their former youth captain making a first-team breakthrough in mid-2019 under manager Gabriel Heinze. [1] [5] [6] His professional debut arrived on 28 July 2019, as the centre-back was selected to start a Primera División fixture away to Talleres; he played fifty-nine minutes, before being subbed off for Pablo Galdames in an eventual 1–0 loss at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. [3] [7] Brizuela scored his first goal on 3 January 2021 against Newell's Old Boys in the Copa de la Liga Profesional. [3]
On 9 February 2021, Brizuela was charged - along with Vélez teammate Thiago Almada - with the rape of a 28-year-old woman; which allegedly occurred at a party on 3 December 2020, which was hosted by teammate Juan Martín Lucero to celebrate Vélez advancing in the Copa Sudamericana. [8] Juan José Acosta Delbene, a former manager of Defensa y Justicia's reserves and Argentino, was initially the only person charged. [8] However, in early February, prosecutor Laura Zyseskind charged initial witnesses Brizuela and Almada; while Delbene was on the run. [9] It is claimed that those two, plus Delbene and an unnamed woman, were involved. [8] Two other women, who were later apprehended, reportedly stole items from the victim. [8]
In response to the charging of Brizuela and Almada, Vélez Sarsfield announced on 9 February that both players had been removed from the first-team until the case was concluded. [10] However, the two players were reincorporated into the senior set-up on 16 February after the club claimed to have received new evidence and further information on the case - though the victim's lawyer, Raquel Hermida Leyenda, stated that nothing had changed in the intervening period. [11] [12] Brizuela played and scored a day later against Deportivo Camioneros in the Copa Argentina. [13]
