to Eduardo Dominguez And it bothers him when they tell him that students He entered the playoffs through the window Final tournament. But as much as it angers you, it is reality. Pincha relied on four results to qualify for the round of 16, and it all happened. Now, Barba’s team’s present is different: the expectations are enormous given the recent history of the classic match against Gymnastics and fencing He smiles at her. Although the 47-year-old has a promissory note to pay, he has never beaten the Wolf in the Jungle, where they clash next Monday at 5pm.
Estudiantes fans will embrace recent history in the coming days to confidently reach this classic semi-final. Pincha, who eliminated Rosario Central and Cordoba Central in the previous rounds, happened to lose only one of the last 10 times he visited Juan Carmelo Zerillo. The not so good thing is that he won 2 times and tied 7 times.
Dominguez made his Bosque debut on 19 March 2023 losing 2-1 with goals from Alan Lescano and Cristian Tarragona for the winners, while Mauro Boselli scored. The second record is a goalless draw on February 25, 2024. The last time was a 1-1 draw on April 13 of this year, with goals scored by Lucas Castro and Luciano Jimenez (in the last minute).
Classics also tend to be complex dilemmas to solve for Dominguez. Since becoming coach, Barba (who also coached Huracan, Colon, Nacional de Montevideo and Independiente) has reached 18th place: 4 wins, 9 draws and 5 losses.
“The team shows its face and speaks where it should speak,” Dominguez said after the match in Santiago del Estero. Already thinking about a potential classic, he warned: “Whoever the opponent is, one cannot choose. What happens in the other matches, we cannot do anything. We are focusing on rest, on doing another week of work and knowing who our turn will be, when and where. We will prepare hard to face this opponent and achieve the goal of reaching the final.”
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Estudiantes returned to work at City Bell. The coach’s goal is to repeat the same team that beat Central Cordoba. It is worth noting that Guido Carrillo has one suspension history remaining. Who returns is youth player Mikel Amondarain, although Dominguez will approve the place for Ezequiel Piové.
