Always Racing provokes special sensations, which combine overflowing passion with suffering. It is an undisputed giant, who for various reasons usually suffers much more than indicated before catching the success he deserves. Now, in this 2022, that albiceleste maxim is reconfirmed. there’s the ‘Academy’ screaming champion, celebrating, all after a year marked by an unusual series of obstacles. It’s an amazing movie with a happy ending. The Champions Trophy for Racing it is worth so much that it could become a hinge for the club, for its coach and for the players…
It was a constant from January until the start of the final with Boca in San Luis. Every soccer fan here agreed: “Racing is the Argentine team that plays the best, but something always happens to it.”
In the South American Cup had been eliminated in the group zone in an unusual home game lost to a River of Uruguay ultra modest and no qualifying chances. In the Argentine Cup he had been sacked by a Second Division rival, Agricultural, also limited, vastly inferior. The blow was missing, the unprecedented definition of the Argentine league, when in the Avellaneda cylinder wasted a late penalty against River Plate that no referent asked to kick and ended up giving the title to Mouth.
was the Champions Trophy. I played it as runner-up in the league. the opponent was Mouth, the two-time champion. The xeneizes, who previously asked to play those types of cups that represent a game and add a star, tried to underestimate it throughout the previous one by showing their two trophies won in the League Cup (he just eliminated Racing by penalties in semis, after being dominated) and in the League.
those taunts of Mouth raised the temperature of an already hot classic by the opposite styles: grayer the Boca de Hugo Ibarra, empty of flight but full of efficiency; more lucid the Racing of Fernando Gagofull of offensive search but empty of titles.
A final with eight expelled!
Racing he won it in the epilogue of overtime and his victory was gigantic because Mouth he did not know how to lose and several of his players exploded until they earned expulsion. The game ended early because the xeneizes were left with six players. They were so out of control that some wanted to go to receive the medals of the runner-up with the two cups won in this 2022. The vice president stopped them Juan roman riquelme.
The paper of Mouth promoted the conquest of Racing, who also suffered two expulsions. He strengthened everyone in the ‘Academy’, starting with the healthy football project. It is the first title of Fernando Gago as a coach, a former Mouthwho was questioned because the team was disarmed too far back and for some striking changes during the games.
Although he did not play saint Louis because he was injured, the consecration also represents a revenge for Enzo Copetti, the goal scorer after not requesting the execution of the decisive penalty against River in the league. You had to see the tears and the striker’s discharge when his teammates crowned the victory against Mouth.
For something the celebration of Racing It was excessive even in its official networks. The fixed tweet is maintained with a message: “There are many champions, the one who plays the best is only one.” But there were other posts: “The good game won, soccer revived, the ball was reborn…”. And one who made a score of what was harvested: “Racing in 2022: 1st in the annual table, lost only 5 games out of 41 at the local level, undefeated in the 90′ in League Cup2nd team with the most goals scored (66), 1st in the fewest goals conceded (34), champion of the Champions Trophy”. There was even a post ridiculing Riquelme: “Racing is happy ‘!!!”. It’s known that Roman when he pronounces the word happy he does not include the “z”.
The Champions Trophy does not cover the lost league, but restores calm and credit to everything Racing to start a new path. Without this title for everyone it would have been very difficult. However, there was coronation. Then there will be ‘Academy’ in 2023, betting on the Liberatorsdreaming of enjoying another movie with a happy ending, although with less suffering.
