The Academy was a soulless team in Vicente López and they lost with no extenuating circumstances, but Gago confirmed that they have the strength to continue.
If there are “technical” defeats in football, that of Racing in Vicente López is one of the most convincing proofs. Because if the team that had just lost three games in a row in the local tournament and needed a show of character five of the last six, it certainly wasn’t this visit to Platense, who only beat them 3-0 because they weren’t sharp goods. their goal in the second half.
Not only did the Academy lose heavily against one of the teams most committed to relegation and that came with Martín Palermo on the tightrope. The worst thing about Fernando Gago’s team is that since Valdivia’s goal on 5 minutes, he was never close to fighting to get anything and Ramiro Macagno, goalkeeper Calamar, practically didn’t participate.
The second, by Ronaldo Martínez, exposed the shortcomings of a team reaching goal position from a goal kick and in four touches. And the second half, in which Platense deserved to score some more goals, ended with an unusual penalty from Cardona against Schor that converted Servetto into 3-0 after recovery time.
There are no excuses for casualties, injuries or absences. Gago definitely lost the lead of a team that started the year as a candidate and can only hold on to the Copa Libertadores, in which he leads his group, but if there is no image change, he could begin to suffer.
UPDATE: In the subsequent press conference, the DT assumed that the moment is “very difficult”, but made it clear that “I’m not thinking of giving up”explain that”Let’s not forget that the team won a title five months ago. And we won two in two months. We started well, we have a series of bad results. I take charge and so do the players. There is a context in which we need to improve.”
