The Racing Coach Conundrum: Gabriel Arias Takes Charge on and off the Field

The Racing coach is something that keeps all fans on alert. Even to the players, because it was Juanfer Quintero himself who publicly expressed his anger over this uncertainty. The dates keep passing and there is no statement on the subject. In fact, at this time, it could even be possible for Ezequiel Videla and Sebastián Grazzini to continue in 2024, something that Víctor Blanco himself recognized. Meanwhile, the team is playing a tournament and, incredibly, has a serious chance of fighting it to the end. The victory against Lanús gave them air just one date before the end of the regular part.

As the games go by, At the Academy everyone is wondering who is going to be the coach. The decision made is, logically, that whoever arrives will be for the next season. Now, on an interim basis, Grazzini and Videla are in charge of the games. The two who were in Reserve went up to lend a hand. Although the reality is that the team is not doing well at all and plays quite poorly. But in this match against Lanús, another coach emerged. And it was evident. Something that also shows how improvised everything is at the club at this moment.

In the middle of the match with Lanús, At times the Racing coach was Gabriel Arias. One of the club’s top leaders, and one of the few who seem to realize and understand how bad the team is in these games, made eloquent gestures. Countless times, disgusted with what he saw, he approached the bench to chat with the duo. Even though the clearest thing was seen in the second half. With two more men than their rival, Acadé could not catch the ball and the changes had made the team worse. TORias approached, spoke with Videla and Grazzini and two changes came at the touch. Two modifications that should have been made before and seemed quite obvious.

Arias, the Racing coach on the field

The Academy goalkeeper always had coaching skills. Or at least he was always very involved. Since he arrived, when Chacho Coudet was there, he often chatted with the coach in the middle of the game to settle issues. The same thing happened with Fernando Gago. He always tried to contribute from his best. But at this stage he seems much more active. And against Lanús, in a match where winning and maintaining zero was key, it was evident. The game was asking for changes and he did not hesitate to go talk to the duo that is taking its first steps. Arias’ vision, at least with Monday’s newspaper, was good. Those two changes ended with the awakening of Lanús and Acadé once again took control.

Racing’s coach on the field is Arias. Also outside?

Beyond this technical aspect on the field that one of the Racing figures has, the reality is that he seems very involved. With mistakes and successes, he is committed. And he is one of the few who is clearly aware that beyond a victory or being in second place, things are not going well. He was forceful in his statement last week and this time on the court he had several gestures of annoyance. He reproached Pillud for an unusual short back pass that did not end in a miracle goal and also to Colombo who wanted to go out playing, got complicated and created danger against himself. “We have to get her out,” he shouted angrily. He doesn’t want nonsense and wants to put an end to silly mistakes. At least he shows his face, understands the situation and takes charge…
