“You can’t mess with Costas, he’s from real Racing“, was the message that appeared in the vicinity of the Avellaneda stadium. Without a signature or explicit addressee, the slogan made evident the support for the DT in a complex context, marked by the three consecutive defeats at the start of the championship.
Beyond the arrival of important reinforcements such as Valentin Carbonireality indicates that the Academy has still not been able to find its way. The newcomers have not yet adapted to the rhythm of the tournament and Adrian Martinez He appears too isolated on offense, far from being the scoring guarantee of other moments. Added to this is the low level of footballers who were previously key, such as Santiago Sosawho failed to recover his best version after the fracture of the maxillary sinus suffered at the end of last year, and the irregular present of the goalkeeper Facundo Cambesesvery different from the great closure of 2025.

For now, the message from the fans is clear: Gustavo Costas has support. The question will be whether that support is maintained in the event of a new defeat.
