Independiente and River will meet in Avellaneda this Saturday in what will be one of the great matches that the tenth round of the League Cup will present.
With the objective of both sides to add three and stay in the classification positions of Zone A, a promising classic is coming from 7:15 p.m. (TV: TNT Sports) at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini Stadium.
Carlos Tevez’s idea is to introduce variants in all lines to give fresh air to Rojo. In the background, the return of Mauricio Isla is expected for Julio Bufarini, in the midfield Federico Mancuello will be involved from the start and in the attack Gabriel Avalos is outlined for Ignacio Maestro Puch.
As for River, with the 2-0 victory over Independiente Rivadavia and the recovery of the lead, coach Martín Demichelis – still close to the final of the Argentine Super Cup next Wednesday against Estudiantes – will bet on the best in the classic, for which Sebastián Boselli, Milton Casco, Rodrigo Aliendro, Claudio Echeverri and Pablo Solari would give up their places to the usual starters Leandro González Pírez, Enzo Díaz, Rodrigo Villagra, Ignacio Fernández and Esequiel Barco.
Dóvalo denounced Carlitos
El Rojo arrives at the classic with hot blood after the scandalous draw against Barracas, which left them fourth with 17 points. At this point, it should be noted that referee Pablo Dóvalo initiated legal action against Tevez, coach of Independiente, for his expressions after the match on the Huracán field, within the framework of the ninth round of the League Cup.
Dóvalo, advised and accompanied by the Argentine Referee Association (AAA), filed a criminal and civil complaint for threats against the coach, and also has the support of the director of referees, Federico Beligoy, who described the referee’s work as “good.” judge in the match.
The AAA strongly repudiated the statements of the Independiente coach and remarked: “In reference to the actions of our affiliate, Tevez expressed serious terms that slander, insult and incite violence, undermining the good man and honor of Mr. Dóvalo.”
“We already knew that we were playing against 14. We are still hot. This guy has to finish it because he shits on the work of the boys and the club. I’m not talking about the referees, but this makes it very difficult and very noticeable, which is the most worrying. He already has a history with Barracas, and he comes and steals from you anyway; it’s crazy,” Tevez had declared after the controversial arbitration.
A Cyclone in Vicente López
San Lorenzo will visit Platense this Saturday from 9:30 p.m. (TV: TNT Sports), for matchday 10 of the League Cup. In the run-up to the duel, Rubén Insúa spoke at a press conference and, among other things, gave his opinion on Argentine refereeing and put a damper on a hot week for Argentine football.
“I think that the Argentine refereeing is good, quite good, very good I would say. Better than in the rest of the continent and I would encourage myself to say at a global level,” acknowledged the Barça coach, differentiating himself from Tevez and the Uruguayan Mauricio Larriera (DT of Newell’s Old Boys), who criticized the judges’ performance in recent days.
Glory wants more
Instituto de Córdoba, another of the entertainers of Zone A, will visit Rosario Central from 9:30 p.m. (TV: ESPN Premium), at the Gigante de Arroyito stadium, as part of the tenth date.
Miguel Angel Russo’s team will try to recover from their last fall and return to victory with their fans, while Gloria will seek to take another three points to remain high in the table.
Pincha goes to Junín
At the beginning of Saturday’s day, Sarmiento and Estudiantes de La Plata will face each other from 5 p.m. (TV: TNT Sports), at the Eva Perón Stadium in Junín, for the tenth date of Zone B.
The team led by Israel Damonte will try to obtain its second victory to continue increasing its weak average, while the guard led by Eduardo Domínguez will go with an alternative eleven, since he has his mind set on the Argentine Super Cup that will be played next Wednesday against River.
The Wolf wants to rebound
Gimnasia and Barracas Central will also face each other from 5 p.m. (TV: ESPN Premium) in La Plata, for the tenth date of Zone A of the League Cup.
El Lobo La Plata, who has coach Leonardo Carol Madelón on the tightrope, will try to return to victory and achieve a victory in front of his people.
In front will be Guapo, who is a unit at the top, intends to continue on the good path and continue adding to aim to play at least the next Copa Sudamericana.
