The Academy only took one point from the last 18 for the local tournament and is obliged to end the losing streak against Fortín in the Cilindro.
No one, not even the most pessimistic, could have imagined at the beginning of the year, after winning the Super Cup against Boca in the Middle East, that four months later Fernando Gago would be on the brink of collapseafter losing 3-0 to Platense and adding a point from the last 18 on the line for aimless racing.
A key week is coming up for the Academy that could determine the future of DT: This Friday from 9.30 pm he will receive Vélez on the Cilindro, another who does not raise his head. And next Tuesday he will visit Aucas in Ecuador, in the match that could secure his place in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
IT’S CALLED RACING
While there is no valid excuse to explain the team’s moment, it is true that Racing has suffered several losses in recent games and that Gago has not even come close to his ideal eleven for weeks. However, neither Matias Rojas or Gonzalo Piovi will be available, the two principals absent along with Maxi Romero, Jonatan Gomez, Leonel Miranda and Emiliano Vecchiowhose return is getting closer, though he needs a few weeks to prepare.
The good news is that Paolo Guerrero He already trains normally and everything Nicholas Orozabsent against Platense due to discomfort, may be reconsidered.
What stood out, however, is the coach’s decision: the concentration for the next two games is about to begin on Wednesday at the AFA building in Ezeizasince the idea, confirmed by Rubén Capria, is to return to a community within the group to advance the team.
THE RACING TRAINING
Everything Gago plans regarding the players to start the clash against Fortín will be decided once the squad is “locked in”. And although the most important game is Aucas’s, it is clear that they must first end the six-game streak without being able to win in the local championship.
For this reason there would be no place to reserve starters and they should receive Tigre Gareca’s team with the best there is, although everything is subject to the evaluation of the next two training sessions.
ALTERNATIVE
To confirm.
