On the eve of this Sunday’s crucial 3:30 p.m. clash against Colón for Matchday 22 of the Primera Nacional, specialist journalist Fabrizio Cimbaro spoke with Radio Gol 96.7 to break down the current state of a Chaco For Ever side that arrives in the midst of a surge, with Javier Delbarba already confirmed as referee.
The Chaco-based team is going through drizzly, cold days in Resistencia that have forced some training sessions onto artificial turf, but that have not slowed the hopes of a squad riding high after taking seven of the last nine points available, including an emphatic 3-1 away win over San Telmo.
Cimbaro stressed that Chaco For Ever’s main institutional objective is to protect its spot and secure survival in the division. For this “crusade,” the arrival of club legend Daniel “Chango” Cravero to the bench — an all-time idol who recently overcame a delicate health issue — had an immediate impact both emotionally and on the footballing side.
“In these two matches under Cravero, For Ever has changed enormously. Several of his instructions were: ‘Guys, keep it simple, don’t overcomplicate things.’ When you’re near the bottom of the table, your subconscious works against you. Now the team is trying to keep the ball and minimize mistakes.”
In addition, the journalist praised the club’s strong optimization of its financial resources, managing to strengthen the squad with low-cost signings who delivered immediate performances. He highlighted the impact of Leandro Fernández (formerly of Villa Mitre) as a standout player, the balance Federico Moreno brought to midfield following the departure of Gabriel Ramírez, and the key role of Matías Romero, who scored three goals in two matches and became a huge breath of fresh air up front.
Regarding the tactical setup for the visit to the Elephants’ Graveyard, Cimbaro detailed the coach’s pragmatic philosophy: “Daniel’s way of managing matches is pretty simple: if you can win it, you win it; if not, you draw it. An away draw is highly valued because in the Primera Nacional, one point is worth more than none.”
Without expecting major tactical changes from the team that just won in Isla Maciel, the reporter revealed the likely starting eleven to face El Sabalero: Gastón Canuto; Alan Luque, David Valdéz, Ricardo Garay Lima, Agustín Ojeda; Enzo Gaggi, Juan Manuel Carrizo, Brian Nievas, Leandro Fernández; Matías Romero and Ezequiel Pacheco.
