Roger Martínez in Racing is close to leaving and Gustavo Costas knows it. He is clear. He also understands it because he is one of those players who is difficult to have on the bench. Not because it can cause you any internal problems. It is very far from that. In this case it has to do with the fact that he is a very senior player and that he came to the club more for sporting glory than anything else. In addition to always needing to feel important. Little of this is happening right now where he lost ground. And although his level is growing, what leaves him out of the starting 11 is how well Maravilla Martínez and Maxi Salas are doing, today two permanent fixtures for the coach.
ANDThis makes the Colombian have in mind leaving Racing in search of continueddy a big problem arises for the technician. He is clear that replacing him is impossible and that there is no player that the club can bring and that he is at the level of the coffee grower at the substitute level. A player of that category is a starter on any other team and that is what does not happen today. Therefore, in search of continuity, his future is quite complicated. However, the coach exerts force and appeals to different strategies to try to get the forward to stay until December, the date on which his contract ends.
One of the things that Costas is trying to do with Roger Martínez thinking about the best for Racing is to convince him publicly. Therefore, in each interview he gives, he refers to the topic and raises or adds concepts. Every word wants to reach the ears of the coffee grower so that he can get bitten by the bug of staying to go for the Copa Sudamericana. “I told Roger at the time that he was going to start with me. But Maravilla and Sara are in a great moment and he understands it.”, he began telling in dialogue with TNT Sports. And he continued, always evaluating the player’s attitude and desire: “Roger continued training at 100%. There is a great group. In fact, Roger told me the other day: ‘The group that was formed is fantastic.’ “We are going to do our best to keep him in Racing.”
Costas understands Roger and seeks the best for Racing
The Academy coach knows that the Colombian is looking for more minutes. In fact, he assured that he had told him that with him he was going to be a starter. But football has these things. Injuries, poor levels and a preseason that could not be perfect. All of this worked against the coffee grower who began to lose ground. And it also has things that you can’t finish explaining. Because when he got well and started to perform, Salas raised his level considerably and it became impossible to remove him.
Costas understands that Roger Martínez’s moment in Racing is very good. Possibly the best since he returned to the club a year ago. However, he cannot take out the two who are starters today and do it really well. Meanwhile, he tries to convince the nine and put pressure on him to continue, something that for now seems complex.
