After the elimination in the Argentine Cup on Wednesday night in Junín after losing to Miter (SE) 2 to 1, Belgrano comes to play the fourth round of the League Cup full of emergencies and needs.
Tonight at 9:30 p.m. they will face Godoy Cruz at the Gigante de Alberdi, a match that will have Darío Herrera as referee and can be followed by the TNT Sports signal.
Surprisingly, a match on the fourth round of the championship becomes a key match in the immediate future of the senior team. This occurs due to the direct interference of the results and especially due to the way in which Guillermo Farré’s team has played.
When the season was getting underway, the coach himself talked about fighting in the championships to achieve a ticket to the Libertadores 2025 and surprisingly, of the five paths that Farré marked for that goal, one was already ruled out (the Argentine Cup) and in The League Cup has added one point out of nine possible points.
The poor functioning of the team, which has not achieved good performances since the beginning of the year and has not managed to win a game (not even in friendlies) has put “stones” in the path of the coach who today is no less than questioned.
The coach himself assured after losing to the Primera Nacional team in Junín that “we have to get to Saturday well (for today) and with the obligation and need again to win the three points because, if not, it will become a complex situation and the structure will begin to be compromised as well.”
It is not the first time that the coach is in an extreme situation, because after losing to Estudiantes de La Plata 4 to 0 at the end of the Professional League tournament last year, his continuity was questioned, then came a goalless draw with Central and the end of the championship. The squad was rebuilt and the League Cup gave it air.
But now, of the last 10 official matches that Farré directed (six last year and four this year), the team won one (against Unión 4 to 1), tied two and lost seven, which is not something of these days, also because the base is the same as last year and practically played most of the games with the players who were in 2023.
In the match this Saturday night they must face a team from Mendoza that arrives with three victories in the same number of games, with a fast and fast playing system, but fortunately for the Pirate, Hernán López Muñoz, the skilled midfielder, will not be there. who is injured.
Variants and modifications are coming in the 11 to end a streak that started last year and that does not stop at this time. The “B” wants to smile and give some oxygen to his coach who is under the scrutiny of criticism.
