Little would have been thought by either side of La Plata until recently that at this stage of a difficult year they would be on the threshold of what could be the most transcendent La Plata classic in history. Neither Estudiantes nor Gimnasia imagined that they would reach this point, let alone that they would meet in the semi-finals of the final tournament.Which will be Monday in El Bosque at 5:00 p.m. But now all guns are pointing towards that decisive match and those who are waiting at this time are waiting for an important definition that may change the team’s scenario. Eduardo Dominguez.
It’s just what City Bell has been waiting for The possibility of reducing the harsh punishment of four suspension dates received by Guido Carrillo For the red he saw before Tigre. They also know that it is very difficult for the disciplinary court to fall one day, especially after all the gunfire in recent days between the two Juan Sebastian Veronchief of Estudiantes, and priests Ava After controversy over the title of champion awarded to Rosario Central for finishing at the top of the annual table.
There is an unofficial administration behind closed doors to try to reduce the suspension that would give the scorer the opportunity to play the decisive classic against Lobo. The penalty came due to Carrillo’s elbow strike against defender Abel Luciati And his subsequent offensive statements towards the referee. El Pincha appealed the decision, but three dates have already passed and the striker is still serving his sentence.
If last minute management ultimately fails, Eduardo Dominguez It will remain in the planning that has been implemented so far. This gives the opportunity to Facundo Farias To continue between the eleven as a forward and departure position Lucas Alario Back on the bench, he added minutes in the second half.
Edwin Sitri, Cristian Medina and Thiago Palacios They are then shaped to be positioned like Estudiantes’ other attacking men, behind Farias, who usually has the ability to move around the attacking front and even drop back to create space and connect with the ball. For containment, Ezequiel Piovi and Santiago Ascacibar They are numbers placed in the central circle.
A coach with a prominent beard also has time to work with substitutes. But everything indicates that he will not deviate from the scenario he was working with that led him and his teammates to be two games away from the title, when weeks ago he looked doubtful and was even on the verge of not qualifying for the playoffs.
