After the weekend without football because it is a FIFA date, Racing is already thinking about the definition of the League Cup. On Saturday, the Academy will visit Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero, forced to win so as not to say goodbye to the fight to enter the first four. Although there was no official part yet, It is almost a fact that Gabriel Rojas will miss the game as a result of the muscle problem he suffered against San Martín de Burzaco. The same with Ignacio Galván, who injured his ankle in the same game.
Racing will change its left back for the League Cup
In this context, Gustavo Costas analyzes who to put as left back in Racing’s next match in the League Cup. A priori there are two alternatives. The first, just as he did on the gymnastics court, is Pass Mura on the left and put him on the side. The problem here is that no one closes him. Martirena was weak in his marking, Rubio lost ground and Pillud is very relegated. Mura won the position on the right. What other option is there, maintaining the line of four? Let Agustín García Basso move from the back line and start playing wide as a winger.
Racing with Central Córdoba and the options on the left.
It would not be a new position for the former Independiente del Valle. According to statistics, García Basso played 62 games in his career as a left back. In fact, in Boca he debuted in that position and then he did it for a long time in the Ascension. Last year, in Ecuador, he played a Copa Libertadores match in this position. It was in the first leg of the round of 16 against Deportivo Pereira. In Colombia he completed the 90 minutes and his team lost 1-0. They would be eliminated a week later after a 1-1 draw at home. Beyond this last game, he also played as a three in Douglas Haig, Santamarina, Agropecuario and Quilmes. Will you also do it with Racing for the Argentine Cup?
If Basso runs there is room for another central defender
If this option is given, Costas would also play the central duo. Here you have several players fighting for a place. Di Cesare made his debut firmly in the Argentine Cup, there is captain Sigali who already played and Colombo knew how to play as a six in Defensa y Justicia. It is evident that there are options and the technician will begin to test these different alternatives during the week.
What is clear is that Mura will continue in Racing as a starter in the next League Cup match. He established himself so much that due to the number of casualties there were, he was even able to wear the captain’s ribbon for the first time since he joined the Academy, after the departure of Baltasar Luis Rodríguez against San Martín de Burzaco. From the left, precisely, he sent the pass back to Maximiliano Salas, who defined the final 3-0 for Racing, for the 32nd minute. After the match against the Primera B Metropolitana rival, the Academy defender gave a good analysis of the match and celebrated the success for the immediate future.
“I saw the team doing well. From minute one we had the intention of going for the game. We felt that we had the obligation to do so. Unfortunately in the first half it didn’t happen to us. We arrived at halftime worried because we know that in these games, when you don’t make a difference, as the minutes go by it can get complicated. Luckily in the second half we found the goals and we got a well-deserved victory,” said Mura.
