There will be Superclásico in the quarterfinals of the Professional League Cup! The regular phase is over and, finally, River will clash with Boca in the next instance, in a match that will be played on Sunday at the Mario Alberto Kempes, which was recently reseeded and looks in a worrying state, in exclusive images from TyC Sports. Beyond these visible inconveniences and the rumors of a possible change of venue, the engineer in charge assured that it will arrive in optimal conditions and the court was confirmed this Wednesday.
Alarming state of the Kempes playing field shortly after River vs. Mouth
In recent weeks, those in charge of maintaining the field reseeded the playing field with grass seed for winter: they began the work after the duel between Talleres and Independiente Rivadavia (which was on April 6) and they even delayed until waiting for the decision of the Institute leadership, which finally played home in Alta Córdoba against Martín Demichelis’ team on the last date. Beyond the fact that it would arrive with the right amount, they assure that it will not be a problem for the Millionaire’s confrontation with Xeneize.
“The grass will be a little weaker but nothing happens,” they explained to Cadena 3 de Córdoba. In addition, they affirm that the field “will be able to play normally in 15 days” and that, on Sunday, it will be 13. In this way, even though it is not 100 percent, it is expected to be in good condition for the Superclásico of the quarterfinals of the Professional League Cup.
The Kempes agronomist, confident that he will arrive in conditions for the Superclásico
Marcos Ibáñez, the agronomist in charge of the Kempes playing field, assured that they will arrive “very well” for the Superclásico on Sunday and explained in detail the deadlines for the work. “It is a process of 3 or 4 days that the court looks with some defects, but it has to do with a natural process that happens every championship, every year,” he stated in dialogue with TyC Sports.
In that sense, he stressed that this work “is no different from any other championship” and that “these are normal times.” And he added: “On Thursday of last week all the replanting work was completed. It is just the fifth day. In 48 hours you will see a totally different image of the field and, for the game, it will be very good.”
“Since yesterday afternoon, you will see that the hours are passing and the aesthetics are improving. In the playability part, it is given by the base of the summer grass. I understand that the field looks strange because an intervention was made strong,” he said.
On the other hand, he said that they went through a similar situation a few years ago, before Talleres’ duel with Universidad Católica in 2022. “A match was played after the reseeding, it was for the Copa Libertadores, a day before what was going to be played now. And we never had any problems with that,” he said. And that “you can play.”
Rain, a possible problem for River vs. Mouth
Aside from the stadium on the playing field, there is another factor that may be important for the match between River and Boca: the rain. According to some forecasts, such as the National Weather Service and The Weather Channel, there could be some precipitation on Sunday (there is a 40% chance). Another seasoning for the Superclásico that will be played in Córdoba.
