Fernando Gago put an end to the controversy that surrounded Edwin Cardona in recent days for a trip with his family. The coach was clear that all the players on the professional team had two days off, so the Colombian’s trip did not cause discomfort or entail any type of sanction internally.
“It is easier to criticize than to say things that are true. I gave the players two days off after almost 36 or 37 training sessions in which they had an afternoon off. It is not to make controversy of anything”, commented the technical director in a press conference and closed the subject with a joke: “If Edwin decided to go to the beach, he would have invited me, so let’s all go“.
Last Friday, the creative flyer could not finish a friendly against Tigre due to muscle fatigue and later published photos on a plane with his family, which is why the Argentine press stated that said trip would have generated some discomfort in the Academy.
The same footballer went out on social networks to deny that version. “And they keep talking? Hahahaha… I want to clarify that the entire squad had free time, not just Cardona. Find out before you speak ill of a person. If I took the same break as everyone, it is to rest with my family“He wrote in a story on his Instagram account.
Cardona would be ready for Racing’s debut in the Professional League Cup this Sunday, February 13 at 3:00 pm (Colombian time) in front of Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata in the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
