During the pandemic, Francella had made it clear how far his love for the Avellaneda team went. “If I have to record right at the time Racing is playing, I try to know the time as soon as possible, so I can do everything before or after the game, but I talk about it three days before. I tell them: ‘look, that day at 5:00 p.m.: 00 there is a very important game’ and they stare at me for a while as if thinking ‘what is he going to ask me for?’ And I explain that I don’t want to miss, but that I would like that moment, 90 minutes, to be able to be in the motorhome, calm. “he had exemplified.

The actor told in an interview with ESPN what he takes into account when filming and made clear his love for Racing Club.
From “De Carne Somos”, where he was shown with a muscular woman from the Academy, to the Oscar winner for best foreign film, “The Secret in Their Eyes”, the acclaimed actor carries his passion for Racing both inside and outside the studios. . And, like Viggo Mortensen, in every interview he gives he leaves an anecdote that has to do with his club.
He inherited that feeling from his father, Ricardo Héctor, who worked at the Avellaneda club as a gym teacher.
As a good fan that he is, Guillermo has numerous memories and anecdotes with Racing. And, probably, one of the funniest was the one he experienced at the age of 8 with Sacchi, his childhood idol.
Some time ago, in an interview with TNT Sports, the actor revealed a strange exchange he had with the player, to try to retain the footballer when he found out that he had decided to leave Racing to go to Boca.
“When I was a boy my idol was Federico Sacchi. “He was the best defender I had ever seen in my life.”.
“I remember when he went to Boca and I thought I was dying, so I looked up Federico Sacchi’s phone number in the guide. I called one and he didn’t answer me. I called the other and asked him: “‘Are you Sacchi, how are you doing? Is it true that you are leaving Racing?’ And he answered: ‘Yes, I’m leaving,’ and I asked him: ‘Why are you going to leave? What can we do to make him stay?’ .
“My dad works at Racing so, when he came back, I told him: ‘Look dad, the Sacchi thing has been resolved.’ ‘How was the Sacchi thing resolved?’ my dad, who came from the club, told me. And I tell him: ‘We have to take up a collection. “I was talking to Sacchi.”
“’Who did you talk to? Who gave you the phone?’ ‘I found it in the guide,’ I told him. And he asked me: ‘How in the guide? Who is this man?’ So he went to the club and said: ‘My son is talking to Sacchi. What is the number?’ ‘This is not the number,’ they told him.”
“Of course, the number was different. The one who didn’t attend to me. A chanta attended to me. I called him every day until one moment I said: ‘How much longer?’ ‘But I don’t get the collection he told me…’”.
