Gustavo Costas Meet the celestial and white cloth as none. He was born in Avellaneda, was a pet of the unforgettable team of José, champion of America and the world, a central marker who lived the descent and also, the consecration of the Super Cup. He was a bankruptcy technician and in the worst stage of management. He returned home last year and fulfilled the promise of winning the Cup. And although the Opening Tournament began with unevenness and three losses – the last two in chain – on six dates, the veteran strategist who will turn 62 years old appeals to 62 years sense of belonging. The message is out.

“I put my body, not just my hands, for these players. There was never a group that would represent the fans so much. They have an incredible delivery and self -love, ”he said coasts after the fall against Argentinos Juniors in Mozart and Corbatta. And he emphasized: “something beautiful is coming and we have to be all together.

There is an unknown in the middle of the court. Agustín Almendra played the first stage and was replaced by Bruno Zuculini in the halftime. They are two flyers of different characteristics. The former mouth has greater technical capabilities and the one that grew up on the Tita site is the heart of the squad. The physical issue is key.

Racing kept the base.
