With their heads on Sunday, the Academy once again played poorly and fell, this time in the cylinder to Newell’s. Likewise, the order was one.
The atmosphere in the Cilindro had a single cry in the previous one: “on Sunday we must win at all costs.” The prelude to the classic against Independiente, plunged into a deep crisis, aroused the expectation of the fans, between the moment of the traditional rival and the demand to give him a final blow. However, there was a game he neglected and Newell did not hesitate to capitalize on it.
This time, Gago entered the field with the most starters and a team similar to the one he plans to pit against Rojo, but again he sinned in what went from a solution to a problem: the reliance on Rojas. All the balls go through the 10, everyone is looking for the 10 and the 10 seems to be the only one that can generate danger with medium range shots, this time reversed. Although he bet on Paolo Guerrero’s hierarchy as an area reference, the Peruvian was never in a scoring position.
On the other hand, Lepra took advantage of every space and created danger with a team moving ever closer to Heinze’s idea of vertical play. But it wasn’t until halfway through the second half that he scored, after a corner kick, through Velázquez, who shot in at the near post. Minutes before, the situation that scared everyone: in a fight Rojas pushed Montenegro and Espinoza interpreted that there was an attack that deserved red, but in the end he went to the VAR and withdrew so that the Paraguayan will not miss the Avellaneda derby.
What was in the previous “classical climate” became a requirement. The fans whistled goodbye to a team that lost again and now the clash with Independiente does not only concern the story and the terrible moment of his rival, but also implies continuing in the race to fight in the tournament or to face it quickly leave the side.
