It is unlikely that inside Fernando Gago is satisfied with this Racing. Because even though at times he can be identified with the game of his team, he ended up being very irregular and not winning the games. With the 0-0 with Boca, the Academy has three consecutive draws. And the most serious thing is that in the last two they did not score against rivals like Barracas and Boca who came with many goals against. After the Racing game, Gago spoke at a press conference and gave his feelings.
“We had a great first half in which the team had many scoring situations. We know that this is the way to go, beyond the result. I liked the team’s game, but the result was not what we were looking for and that is something that gives anger, both to me and to the rest”, maintained Gago after the equality of Racing. And he added: “I think this is a long tournament and I maintain that we are here to compete. It is what we are going to continue doing. And now what we need are results. But I think we have to maintain the conviction to continue playing the same way.”
Gago’s self-criticism for Racing’s failures
As for the last minutes of the game, where Racing was very played and almost ended up losing it, Fernando Gago explained: “The fact of wanting to go get the game sometimes generates certain collective and individual imbalances that we have to correct. That It’s true. But I value the fact that the players look for the result until the end without resigning the idea of the game”. And he continued in the same line of self-criticism: “The team dominated, and dominated in the way we wanted… why does the goal cost so much? Sometimes there are circumstances that do not depend on what one plans, but where it is the execution: sometimes the ball goes a few centimeters from the post, sometimes it hits the post, sometimes the goalkeeper is there “In the ST we started well, then we were a little thicker in the game, and we wanted to be more direct With the changes we seek to be more direct, but the end was not good, they came to us two or three times and we have to correct that”.
Last but not least, Gago left a message for all of Racing. “I tell the fans to keep trusting. This team is going to continue down the path of trying to always play well and compete until the last date of the tournament.”
