The Professional League Cup has Belgrano in its Zone B as the leader and undefeated. Alberdi’s team rules and enjoys being in a privileged place in the second tournament of the year of the highest national division.
The competition is played divided into two zones of 14 teams each and the first four enter the final phase where the first from Zone A is measured against the fourth from B, the second from A against the third from Zone B, the third from A with the second from B and the fourth from A with the first from B.
That is to say, Guillermo Farré’s team would be facing the team that finishes in fourth place in the other group in the quarterfinals to be played immediately after the group stage ends.
When the Cup was announced and all the clubs that make up the Professional League approved the regulations, it was established in article 14.2.1 that “The quarterfinals will be played in the Stadium of the best located club.”
In the same act, in article 14.3 it was written: “Semifinals: The four winning teams from the quarterfinals will play them in a single match,” adding in the following point that “it will be played in the Stadium of the club best located in the Zone Phase.”
But this is the football of the world champions, that of AFA, the same one in which what is written today, tomorrow can be altered according to the interests of those who are closest to power at that moment.
In this way, what was going to be one relegation by average and two by general table, was reduced overnight to one by average and another by table, thus allowing some clubs, somewhat committed, to have a little more air.
It is that same assembly, someone realized that they did not agree with the definition of the League Cup and decided to change the locations in the definitions, in this way point 14.2.1 was modified and now states: “The instances of Quarterfinals will be played in neutral stadiums that will be determined by the Professional League. The local status for organizational purposes (occupation of locker rooms, substitute benches, choice of clothing, etc.) will correspond to the best-placed club in the Zone Phase.”
It was also resolved there that point 14.3.1 would also change and now states: “Each semifinal will be played in neutral stadiums that will be determined by the Professional League. The local status for organizational purposes (occupation of locker rooms, substitute benches, choice of clothing, etc.) will correspond to the best-placed club in the Zone Phase.”
What did remain as it was was that the final was played in a neutral stadium designated by the Professional League.
To be defined
In this way, classifying first or fourth in the zone has no greater advantages than choosing the color of the shirt, since there is nothing in sports that gives a plus to the one who won their zone or the one who entered in the final step.
What still remains to be defined is how the sale of tickets will take place in the defining matches, who will bear the organizational expenses and what percentage of the locations sold will correspond to each club, because it is clear that the calls are dissimilar among all the clubs. LPF clubs.
