The Avellaneda classicthe second most important match in our football after the Superclásico, will put pride at stakethe history and the mood of the fans during the week. It is a common place: the derby alters the mood for better or worse, But this match on the 12th day of the League should not modify the plans of both.
It is a football truth that a goal against in this type of match is a technically unsound result, But what they are building is so important Racing and Independiente, in totally opposite realities, that what is most at stake this afternoon at the Cilindro is the honor.
The Academy has been growing for a decadewith titles, comprehensive improvement of the club, orderly accounts, increasingly important squads and this era of Gustavo Costas who, with ups and downs, it is positive, although a little more is expected: in the quarterfinals of the Sudamericana, fighting for the Professional League, while on the negative side is the quick elimination from the Copa Argentina and its disappointing Copa de la Liga.
Independent, It is known that he has been living with what he has been wearing for almost the same amount of time that his greatest rival has been growing non-stop.But in the ups and downs that is the life of the Rojo, between debts, epic collections and inhibitions, he has found in the incipient cycle of Julio Vaccari a hint of an idea of play, results and a light at the end of the tunnel.
The struggles of each one are well marked: Racing You have to try to crown all the good you are doing, Independent You must try to ensure that every wind does not become a hurricane that knocks down the foundations that are not very firm at the moment…
Therefore, this afternoon’s match will have its own elements in terms of tactics, attacks and who ends up with a smile, depending on the final score. The institutions’ plans go far beyond whether the ball goes in or not..
