Racing with Lanús is played a lot. An important game thinking about being able to finish the semester in the best way. Go in search of those three points on a complicated field and manage to leave a good image at the end of the first part of 2024. After having suffered a setback in the League Cup and also having encountered a very difficult failure in the Cup Argentina, the team stood up and started this new competition on the right foot. Therefore, knowing that there will be a five-week break with vacations and preseason in the middle, it is important to be able to continue stepping firmly and try to get something more different. It is not known what that return will be like after a long time stopped.
The Academy in the Professional League is in a very good moment. The best in terms of points and also in terms of goals for and against. A team that seems to have found its way, something that is also accompanied by defensive solidity and forcefulness up front. Now he has to hold it and not get dirty at key moments. That’s why the DT is happy but not confident. And thinking about the match that will be played this Thursday, June 13, starting at 9:30 p.m., he wants to go with the best. In fact, some players will even wait for the limit to put them in at the start.
But beyond these names that are known, there is a position where an important doubt appears thinking about the formation of Racing for this head-to-head with Lanús. We talked about going with Gastón Martirena or with Facundo Mura. The Uruguayan had been playing very poorly, but he took advantage of his opportunity. Given Mura’s injury, he had a new chance and he fulfilled. A very good first game, with a goal included and then levels that left the coach very satisfied. He went from being a player who did not generate confidence to one who can fight for a position as equals. Mura had been doing very well, but now the fight is hand to hand with the Uruguayan and we will have to see what Costas decides.
The difference between Mura and Martirena thinking about Racing with Lanús
In such an even dispute, many times the decision can depend on physical or tactical issues. As far as physical condition is concerned, both are already in optimal condition. There no one takes advantage of the other. Then, there are different characteristics that can make the coach lean toward one or the other. As for Mura, he has better recoil, is harder on the mark and delivers in attack. Thinking that the rival will be Grana in this Academy match in the Professional League, it could be something important. He knows that the rival attacks well on that side and the Uruguayan is weak in that aspect.
Of course, Racing is also going to attack Lanús and that is where Martirena has the most possibilities. Although he has problems in marking, in recent games he has shown himself very well in attack, being almost another striker. In this line of three where it is necessary for the wingers-midfielders to always reach the bottom, his contribution could end up being important. Added to that is that he comes with a scoring streak, with confidence and with greater continuity.
