Belgrano receives Racing at the start of the League Tournament

61

Belgrano’s agenda moves him from international competition to local competition in an accelerated manner and that is why the Pirate points him directly to the start of the Professional League Tournament, which will take place this Sunday at 5:45 p.m. hosting Racing at the Gigante.

El Celeste has just tied last Thursday in the Copa Sudamericana against Delfín 1-1 and therefore it is estimated that coach Juan Real can make some adjustments to the initial formation so that the players’ legs do not suffer from the hustle and bustle of the matches. Well, on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Kempes, against Real Tomayapo, a large part of their chances of passing the phase in the continental tournament will be at stake.

The game with Racing is special, because in the last visit of the Academy to Córdoba, the albicelestes took the three points and gave the Real team a 4-0 win.

The defeat against them was a hard blow, because it occurred at home and with a very marked superiority on the part of the opponent. It was just at the close of the League Cup and it was the only time that the Pirate, in Real’s time, lost.

Belgrano comes to this championship with the commitment to add a lot, because the objectives set at the beginning of the season are far from being met, since both the distant Guillermo Farré and the leaders spoke of going for something more than what was achieved in 2023 and he was targeted for a place in the Copa Libertadores.

At the time Farré quantified the paths to the objective: League Cup, Argentine Cup, South American Cup, League Tournament or general table. But he also redoubled his bet and even talked about “dreaming of becoming a champion.” Reality woke up the former coach and after failing in the Argentine Cup and the League Cup, he left his place to Real, but with a far from easy task, since he must add a lot to be able to leave the team in the zone of international competition.

Although this is the first of the 27 dates that this contest has, they are three more than valuable units for Celeste, because today it is in 22nd place out of 28 with 14 points, that is, it is nine behind Tigre and 15 of the leaders.

The idea of ​​Real

The coach is committed to having a leading team, he likes his full-backs to get into the middle of the field to be closer to the attack and that the setback occurs with speed, a lot of sacrifice and together, which is why in this way of conceiving the game, some footballers do not find a place in the coach’s consideration.

Real himself assures that he wants the players to adapt to his idea and not him to the way of playing that these athletes have, that is why he tries to make the 3-4-3 become stronger and stronger, but to do so he must manage to convince those short that they can do it and oil the movements so that it is fulfilled.

The “B” is measured against Racing at the beginning of a path that will define its immediate future, because adding is what is important so that what is today a distant goal can be a little bit closer.
