2023-08-04 02:50:28

Fernando Gago left angry with the Racing players once the 2-4 was over. As much as he doesn’t say it, the Academy coach knows that very basic mistakes were made, unforgivable for a Copa Libertadores competition. The last line was never up to the game and following the press conference he took some shots from the elevation. The end of the game was not from Racing that Gago wanted to see. “We had very bad positioning in the goals. After 2-3 I was signaling to try to have the positioning so that what happened did not happen. Try to have people so that they did not go once morest,” said Pintita.

But this did not happen. From a free kick from the opposite field, Sigali went very far, the ball went over Piovi once more as it had been all night and another one-on-one ended in a goal. Disastrous regarding the last line of Racing. Slow, imprecise, making water everywhere and not being able to support an unknown Aníbal Moreno either. Where is the head of the central midfielder?

Racing lost in Medellin.

“We have to work, with confidence and with the support of our people we can turn the game around. We know it’s a complicated series, we were one goal away and unfortunately with an error they went back to two. But we’re going to try to make it the team plays a role to turn the game around”, added Gago. And he spoke once more regarding the development of the game: “In the first half they had no shots on target. The goal was a situation that we had to avoid. Errors are expensive in these series, but he trusted the team. We are going to put up a lot of fight “.

Finally, Gago spoke regarding Roger Martínez’s debut in Racing for the Copa Libertadores. “Roger has very few days of work, that’s why he entered in the second half. It was something that he already had scheduled with him that he showed up for work, he came with a lot of downtime. I wanted him to play 30 or 40 minutes so that he might have more rhythm, he entered very well,” said the coach.
