Students visit central Cordoba in search of a ticket to the semi-finals of the final tournament / @edelp
Estudiantes plays another gritty stop in Santiago del Estero, with the night starting at 9:30pm. They will visit central Córdoba at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades, for the quarter-finals of the Clausura tournament. It will be a confrontation with several additional players, and with Yael Falcon Perez as the main referee. Televisa TNT Sports and Supertransmi broadcast on FM La Redonda 100.3.
In a harsh north, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees all day, Pincha will take another step towards the semi-finals. But it is not a secondary matter. The week in La Plata was marked by the institutional earthquake resulting from the “Pass to the Hero” in Rosario, an event that created a political rift and unleashed a cascade of statements from all levels, with everyone from Claudio Cheque Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association, to leaders from various sectors and the always media-savvy Pablo Tovigino, being expressed. In addition to the penalties that the club must adhere to
In contrast to the external noise, the red and white team chose silence, stayed away from the crosshairs and exerted all their energy in tonight’s confrontation. Yesterday he settled in Santiago del Estero, in a special atmosphere: the local police did not allow fans to approach the players, who left through a closed part. In addition, the forces were ordered to remove posters that read “United against all.”
Without a doubt, there are other spices added to what Central Cordoba did, which issued a statement providing explicit support for the Tapia administration, amid tension with the student leadership. The statement came before the duel, and added a political flavor that no one can hide anymore.
However, on the football level, the red-haired coach Eduardo Dominguez had a week full of speculation, taking into account rumors of possible sanctions against the team. In addition to the physical monitoring of Santiago Nunez, Ezequiel Piové and Facundo Farias, who improved positively from their harassment.
In this way, the coach’s idea is not to prejudice too much the team that beat Rosario Central 1-0 at the Estadio Gigante de Arroito in the previous match, so he is preparing to repeat the win-win rule. In this sense, Santiago Ascacibar will join the initial structure of the team in place of the fired Mikel Amundarain. At the same time, one of the only doubts he maintains is between Facundo Farias and Joaquin Tobio Burgos in attack.
On the other hand, Central Cordoba arrives confidently after a controversial match against San Lorenzo. Omar De Filippi can count on Leonardo Heredia, who was absent last weekend due to a family issue, and will almost certainly now have the chance to return to replace David Zalazar.
