Racing with Argentinos cannot fail. A frenetic and very complicated match is coming for those led by Gustavo Costas. In addition, he has the pressure to win in the Cilindro after the painful draw against Belgrano in Córdoba. But the victory with Coquimbo Kingdom, after a weak first half, brought some joy. It is true that what left certainties was the result, although not the performance of a team that remains in debt in that area. You can’t quite see how it works and until the moment of the first penalty goal, the performance was quite bad. He improved with the difference in his favor and took the victory.
Now, with the result in your pocket, What the coach wants is for the Academy to have an identity in this Professional League. It is a long tournament, there is a lot ahead and it will be important to have consistency in the game so that the results appear. That is why the coach continues to search for the team and try different alternatives to see what ends up being the ideal formation that gives him peace of mind in the results but also in the functioning and the idea of the game. Thinking about that, there is an important player who could start next Monday.
Although there was still no formal soccer test, Gustavo Costas was satisfied with what he did Johan Carbonero against the Chileans and could get into Racing’s starting 11 thinking about Argentinos. This added to the fact that Santiago Solari, who started, did not do very well and lasted only 45 minutes on the court. Although it was not a great game for the Colombian, who even against Belgrano had done much better, it gave another speed to the attack and better one on one. In a team that lacks gestation. Having the coffee grower uneven in heads-up matches can end up being decisive.
The other name that appears for Racing with Argentinos
There is another player from the Academy who could be starting this 2nd round of the Professional League. Although it seems less likely. We are talking about Juanfer Quintero, who has only now begun to train alongside his teammates after a right adductor strain. The left-hander plays precisely in the place of Solari or Johan Carbonero. With Maravilla Martínez and Maxi Salas as a fixture, it seems that the other three are fighting for that place. Since Juanfer is coming back from an injury, they would not risk him and he would start on the substitute bench.
This undoubtedly gives a clear advantage to Johan Carbonero thinking about Racing’s match against Argentinos Juniors that will be played in the Cilindro. A meeting in which it is expected that there will be spaces and that it will be a lot of back and forth. This can favor the winger who usually finds it difficult with closed defenses and sticky markings. At this time, the one who seems to have the least chance of being a starter is Solari. Although it gives him a little more collaboration in the middle, he is not being clear in attack.
