The Academy coach left his feelings after the victory over Deportivo Riestra within the framework of the fourth date of the 2024 Professional League.
racing was imposed on Deportivo Riestra at the beginning of date 4 of the Professional League 2024 and after the end of the meeting he spoke Gustavo Costas at a press conference, where he highlighted the emotional importance of this triumph and how rare it is that “luck” is on the side of the Academy.
“The boys deserved a win like that. It was a very complicated match…”began the former central defender and captain of the club during his time as a player who celebrated the winning goal like any other fan.
“This team is getting better and better. Today we had many casualties. What’s more, Solari (Santiago) and Almendra (Agustín) were not even going to be on the bench, but I asked them to come. I thank you both. Solari was ruled out physically, but I told him that he needed him because especially from midfield up, we had a lot of casualties. The center to Salas (Maximiliano) is given to Almendra. And Solari scores the goal. Two players who weren’t going to be there. El Chino (Solari) has a pubalgia that doesn’t let him run. And Agustín did not train due to fever.”explained regarding the big problems that hit his team in the week prior to this game.
Costas also highlighted the emotional growth within his team, which managed to leave behind the very tough elimination in the Argentine Cup at the hands of Talleres de Remedios de Escalada. “The team as a group grows, as a team it grows; no matter who you put, they are always there. Today I told Maravilla (Adrián Martínez) in the talk that this is incredible because everyone is doing very well. This team is hungry and committed. That’s what I was looking for by bringing these players.“.
The former Bolivian National Team was consulted by the Riestra’s ultra-defensive approach and he joked about them as well as the statement by Cristian Fabbianiwho before asked the questions “If you’re going to fight Tyson, what do you do?“ in reference to the great academic offensive power. “He just said that they trained until they threw the ball outside. It was very difficult to get into it. These games open up if you score one from the start and it wasn’t given to us. I’m not going to answer if we are Tyson or not hahahaha. I don’t know, we are Monzón or Accavallo. which was from Racing. It’s a lie, heh, let’s leave it there.”.
Finally, Costas contrasted the differences between this type of victory with the goals he has had in recent times and also joked about the lack of a minute for David González, who entered the complement today.. “Sometimes you prefer to win 3-0 but winning like that is also good. At another time we lost this game. We didn’t win a fucking game of luck and get hit with balls. “David González is a great player, the coach doesn’t use him anymore because he’s an idiot.”concluded with laughter after a new victory that will allow Racing to finish the date at the top of the standings.
