If that friendly once morest Colón de Santa Fe in the pre-championship was “a welcome to the First Division” for DT Lucas Bovagliothe draw of Institute 0 a 0 before Sarmiento de Junín on the first date of the Professional League it was confirmation that this contest will not be easy for Glory at all.
After the promotion, the red-and-white coaching staff knows and understands that the main thing is to gain footing in the new category and for that they will need time to work to finish finding the equipment and how it works.
“The good thing is that we started adding to the championship, with a firm step and, above all, competing. I liked the predisposition of the team and the way of approaching the match. We can improve. We know it’s going to be a very difficult tournament, as was this match. It is a new and different category, but I am confident in the good group that we have”, said Bovaglio.
This Sunday, from 9:30 p.m., the Albirrojo will be a visitor to Unión de Santa Fean always complex rival and in a stadium where Gloria might only win once: on date 3 of the 1999 Apertura Tournament, with a goal from “Pucho” Castro.
Beyond that victory, Gloria tied 11 matches and fell 10 times at the April 15 stadium.
The match will be televised by TNT Sports and will have Jorge Baliño as a judge.
The doubts of the Institute to play once morest Union
After the draw once morest Sarmiento, Gloria had a busy week to continue polishing details, although true to his style, Bovaglio is a coach who does not usually “touch” his starting 11 much. Above all, if he is satisfied with what is shown on the field.
If you know that striker Axel Rodríguez cannot be taken into accountwhich has a small tear that also did not allow him to be before Sarmiento.
And there are a couple of footballers who worked differently during the week: defender Leonardo Mosevich and right back Giuliano Cerato.
Both arrived “with just enough” for the debut and worked lightly in recent days. They will be tested this Saturday and there Bovaglio will make a decision, although there is optimism that both may be present.
The “Vikingo” Ezequiel Parnisari and the Paraguayan right-back Juan Franco are the alternatives that DT has in those positions.
With this panorama, a possible 11 of Glory would form with: Jorge Carranza; Giuliano Cerato, Leonel Mosevich, Fernando Alarcón and Sebastián Corda; Gabriel Graciani, Roberto Bochi, Gastón Lodico and Franco Watson; Santiago Rodriguez and Adrian Martinez.
The team will travel to Santa Fe this Saturday to await the match once morest Tatengue.
For the third date, Gloria will be local once more on Sunday, February 12, once morest Huracán (also at 9:30 p.m.).
