A scream is heard that is a song to the illusion. Words are sung that give shape to a dream. A desire that, prior to the start of the League, seemed to be a utopia. “To be a champion, today you have to win!” resounds loudly on the steps of a Tomás Ducó stadium that once again hosted a large number of people. Diego Dabove’s Globe, a set that has good raw materials and a clear game idea that lights the way for the search, once again took a huge step to keep people’s hopes for him alive. And not only for the result. The performance of the Parque Patricios team exceeded the value of the victory: the local showed a level of total commitment to the cause, had a very good collective operation and exhibited a structure in which there were practically no cracks.
The Globe had a great performance. At no time did the pressure of having to win at home seem to affect or condition him to overcome Gimnasia at least momentarily and be just one point behind the leader, Atlético Tucumán, who will have to host Banfield on Monday. With a little more efficiency, Hurricane would have gotten ahead sooner. Dabove’s men unashamedly loaded the backpack of responsibility and took center stage from the first minute, with an offensive proposal, with ambition to go to the front, with a lot of determination to maintain a game plan. The local had a good short and long game, showed good associations and there were also individuals who stood out and shined in a collective structure that contains them and allows them to stand out. If there is something that distinguishes this Hurricane, it is, without a doubt, the total conviction to support and put into practice the idea of a coach who dared, with courage and great decision, to silence the voices of the doomsayers and bet big.
With more workers than foremen, with the contagious enthusiasm of a coach who dared to dream, with much to win and little to lose, the Globe takes flight and dares to argue at a table where many powerful people with more wallets don’t even they were able to sit until now. Because Hurricane plays well. And at times even very well. Because it invites illusion. That is why his fans broke their palms to applaud their footballers before, during and after the match. This team represents them and not only for its performance, but also because it leaves the heart.
The work of Tobio and Merolla was solid, defenders backed by supportive midfielders who always position themselves behind the line of the ball in the face of loss. The work of a Fattori who was always well placed in the middle and distributed with precision was excellent. It was to highlight Hezze’s sacrifice, as well as the deployment and imbalance of a Cristaldo who also executed penalties perfectly. The task of Garré, Cóccaro and Cabral, who did not need to convert to play a good game, was interesting.
Hurricane continues to surprise and raises the bar alone. It is a team that plays as a block, that has overflow, in which everyone attacks and everyone defends. It is no coincidence that they have gone six games without losing, with four wins and two draws. The Globe continues to rise. And on each step, it covers a fan who dreams with hope.
