Without rest, in the midst of a string of matches that does not let up, Racing has already changed the chip and is preparing for the match that I prioritize over the junction with Banfield for the League Cup. This Tuesday, starting at 7:15 p.m., the Academy will visit Cuiabá from Brazil for the fourth date of Group B of the South American Championship. For this transcendental commitment, Fernando Gago preserved most of his starters and gave them rest in the 1-1 once morest Drill, thanks to Nery Domínguez’s agonizing goal. With the mind set on the international tournament, this Sunday there was a new training session for the squad. Racing thinks of Cuiabá for the Cup.
After Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Drill, this Sunday morning the players trained in two groups. As usual, those who played more than 45 minutes performed recovery exercises. The rest, on the main court, carried out rondo activities, possession squares, tactical movements and passing circuits with definition. The squad will return to practice this Monday, the players will have lunch in the stadium dining room and at 2:30 p.m. they will board a flight at the Jorge Newbery Airport, bound for Brazil. There, with all its starters, following losing to Melgar, the Academy will go for a win that will allow it to regain first place in Group B, given that only those who occupy 1st place in each group will qualify for the round of 16. .
Beyond training, Racing already has its head set once more on the Copa Sudamericana to visit Cuiabá
Today Racing has the same score as Melgar, but is second due to a lower goal difference. Although Gago will not confirm the formation of the Academy in Brazil until the day of the match, there does not seem to be much room for doubt. According to the 11 that he placed in the rehearsal this Sunday, the team would alienate in Brazil with Gaston Gomez; Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Emiliano Insúa, Gonzalo Piovi; Leonel Miranda, Aníbal Moreno, Carlos Alcaraz; Fabricio Domínguez, Enzo Copetti and Tomás Chancalay. Matías Rojas alternated with Alcaraz and Chancalay, although he would go as a substitute.
As for the League Cup, Racing has already secured its qualification for the quarterfinals. And with a draw once morest San Lorenzo, in the next and last round of the regular phase, it will be enough for him to finish in first position in Zone 1. In the worst case, he will finish second, that is, yes or yes, he will face the round of rooms as a local, in the Cylinder.
