On October 1, when the Belgrano women’s team achieved promotion to the First Division, the Julio César Villagra stadium was no longer used because the work to remodel the stalls began. The time of rubble, wells and work in many sectors has arrived.
A few days before, on September 19, a week before winning promotion in San Nicolás, the men thrashed Defensores de Belgrano 3-0 and said goodbye to the stadium and to the people who had not left even a small spot uncovered.
After six and a half months, that is, following 193 days (since that October 1), the Alberdi stadium will once once more have its stands full of people. They will no longer be the 30 thousand of previous times, now they will be the 34,803 places enabled for their stands and each space will once once more be covered by a member of the entity.
This Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. they will face Huracán for the 11th date of the Professional League tournament and beyond the fact that the points are extremely important in the team’s sporting future, what will be historic for the fans is that it will be played for the first time with the stalls “Super Celeste”, with capacity for 1500 people, in full and as the “main novelty” of the reopening.
As happened on September 9, 2017, when once morest San Martín de San Juan on date two of the tournament, the team took to the field at the Gigante with the new Tomás Rodolfo Cuellar grandstand (high and low) being inaugurated. On that occasion, it had been four years since he had played an official game in the neighborhood, now it is six months and a few more days, but the sensations of seeing works is a pleasure for any member of the Pirate.
New lights, completely remodeled changing rooms, a new stall, modernized substitute benches, brand new arches and the authorities and press boxes are also zero kilometer. A luxury in times of crisis in the country, but that the Pirate has managed to continue growing.
The match
Beyond the fact that the party will be in the stands and that all the fans will have their chests inflated, there will be a more than important match in the game box. Because at 7:00 p.m. and with the arbitration of Luis Lobo Medina, the Pirate will be measuring himself once morest Huracán for the 11th date of the tournament.
After beating Unión in Santa Fe by 3-0, El Pirata comes to this commitment with his mind set on victory, because of the four games he has won in the tournament, only one has been at home and it was in the second date once morest River.
After the good game with Sarmiento, which was a goalless draw at Kempes, and the one once morest Santa Fe, in which they thrashed Tatengue 3-0, Guillermo Farré would reiterate the starting 11, because beyond the string of commitments, the idea is to accommodate the pieces so that they give the best game in this match.
Huracán arrives at this match with the extra load of the Copa Sudamericana match that they played in the middle of last week and following being thrashed by River 3-0 at their stadium. His coach, Diego Dabove, is considering rotating his pieces, because on the weekend he will play once more for the domestic tournament and on the 19th for the South American.
The game will have a special framework and for the local it is key to continue in the streak of adding points, because it is the direct way to reach the goal of permanence as soon as possible. There is still a lot left for the season to have definitions, but each unit that is disputed and won is one step closer to the goal that has been set for this year in Alberdi.
