Worry invades Racing in the run-up to the trip to Viña del Mar, where this Tuesday they will face Huachipato in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana. The unevenness led to the defeat against Gimnasia and the team lost its essence. With Gustavo Costas questioned by fansBeyond his sense of belonging to the club, there will be changes to play on Chilean soil. And today, the coach has to define the scheme and is evaluating the inclusion of an old reference.
One of the biggest criticisms from the leaders points to the number of changes that Costas makes from one party to another. Against Gimnasia, despite the fact that Racing is fighting for the championship, he made six modifications. Now, he will look for the best version of his team. In that sense, Leonardo Sigali could enterwho started against Huracán and was not called up against the people of La Plata as a result of an overload.
If the captain joins the formation that will start on Tuesday in the spa city on the other side of the Cordillera, Costas would return to a line of four at the back. Otherwise, Nazareno Colombo could play. In principle, he already knows that there are two players ruled out: Juan Nardoni, with a sprained left ankle, and Marco Di Cesare, suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
We also have to wait for the recovery of Gabriel Arias, who did not come out to play the second half against Gimnasia due to discomfort in his right leg. As Clarín was able to find out, number one would be in the game.
If Costas dismantles the formation of three defenders in the background, Santiago Sosa would join the midfield, Agustín Almendra would enter and there is a question that everyone asks about Juan Fernando Quintero. Will he be a starter or will he come on in the second half? The Colombian is more relevant from the start when the team is local, although on Friday he jumped onto the field from the bench. Another footballer who has a chance of entering is Baltasar Rodríguez, more unbalanced.
Key inspection
At this time, while the team moves to Chile, there is an issue that worries us. Avellaneda. It’s about the court, no less.
Conmebol is demanding with the playing fields and Huachipato can attest to this. Without going any further, it will be home against Racing at the Sausalito stadium in Viña del Mar instead of the Concepción field, where it usually hosts in the Chilean league.
In the group stage of the South American Cup the team of Costas couldn’t play in Cylinder against Sportivo Luqueño and had to move their home to Lanús due to the poor condition of the grass. And the situation did not improve heading into the round of 16.
For that reason Claudio Tapia made two cancheros from the Ezeiza property available to the club. Coordinated by Gerardo Albornoz, supervisor of the AFA playing fields, they joined the team of Walter Aciar, who takes care of the grass in Avellaneda, and they work against the clock for Conmebol to approve the terrain for the rematch on the 20th.
“We are working conscientiously to arrive on time for the next inspection and be local at home,” Víctor Blanco told Clarion.
