Minella and Vazzoler on Radio Gol before Copa Santa Fe clásico | OneFootball

Martin Minella and Nicolas Vazzoler discussed the upcoming Copa Santa Fe match, which will be played tomorrow starting at 15:00 at Brigadier López between Colón and Unión, on Radio Gol's microphones.

I always argue within the club that for me the league ends up shaping you more than your own category or even the reserve, the reserve gives you the rhythm of the game and the league or this kind of tournament gives you the experience. I always say that one of Matías Córdoba's benefits is playing in reserve or playing against Colón de San Justo, where Baróni and Melgrati and Arroyo play. I think that for the category, especially since he went to Colón, today the B national is much closer to that context than the AFA reserve.

In reality, we are dealing with nice problems because the other time the reserve tournament generates a new team, let's say this new team is generated or organized with the best of each category, so each category takes the best to compete in the middle of the week and well, it's a nice problem as I say, but it does tend to weaken the categories a bit, so it's nothing compared to last year, something much nicer because we played AFA minors with the first, the first reserve tournament and well, for the kids it's a competition as I say AFA in minors is Disney, every place where you go you find football matches, so usually in inferiority to always win the best or the one who plays better that day and it's different perhaps to these contexts that you had to live now in Reconquista or to the league where perhaps the playing fields of the light a refereeing is a bit more conditioning some things extra to the strictly sporting, so we are enjoying it a lot but yes obviously the context of our first being in another category perhaps influences.

Firstly, Nico and I have a great relationship, also with his technical team because we understand that the way of working is quite similar or at least the idea of taking care of the kids and trying to, aside from always wanting to win and do well in the results, the truth is that we are really happier with the arrival of the kids to the first team than anything else, it's totally real, it's like that and I know they think the same as us and nothing, and we always fight for that, you know, and sometimes they bring you an addition and it bothers you more than they bring you the 4 from Lanús because you think yours is better and well, that always happens in what we work formative and well, and regarding this match, the same thing, it would give the people a huge lack of judgment, they already took away the preliminaries from the kids, which I think was something that the preliminary reserve match historically was something that, that nothing, that the people knew the players that the club had and that the kids played the second times maybe with 20,000 people in the stadium and well, that ends up shaping their character and today they play on a Wednesday morning with 40 or 50 people in a prize and well, now that it was the classic in a semifinal that was the possibility of playing not I tell you a full stadium but yes with a nice context of people that there is no people the truth that takes away half of the nice thing that the match has.

Then Nico Vazzoler, Union's reserve coach, joined the conversation and had the following opinion: well, the first thing is that obviously, well, with Martin we have good relations, many points that link us, I think we share a way of walking the profession that ultimately generates many more points of encounter than (8:00) than disagreement, I say it with sadness that we can't play with the public because the other day we were talking about this issue with Martin and well, it's this that he says, our players need on their way, on their journey, in their training, they need to go through these experiences and experience the power to play with the public, with a different setting, the match already has a different tension for being a classic and an extra pressure also if you want because it's a defining match that ultimately the one who wins continues and the one who loses stays on the way, so these are experiences that they must go through to be able to strengthen themselves as footballers and not being able to do it is what should have been a feast for the city's football, especially well, it makes me sad without going into the details and the minutiae of the decisions and the reasons why, but it does generate sadness the final decision.

The example I think can be the Cordobans, I think the Cordobans achieved, being the same country and the same sport and the same category, they play 3 or 4 classics, even summer tournament with both publics and they have achieved it, I think that nothing that can be done, that you have to try and as to say normalize a bit playing among us, because we are what I sometimes last year with me we had organized as soon as the year started to make a friendly match I remember and I tell you the truth I commented and it is not comfortable sometimes when I want to go home sometimes it is not comfortable it seems like he is saying a madness let's say and it was a Tuesday morning without people we are going to go and well then it could not be organized by the times because they were already starting to compete

but well for me it is something normal but well obviously it is not lived like that maybe at a political level I do not know how the situation was.

In this both coaches agreed in the same way, it is a shame in this case in this case what I told you before does not live with sadness and if I would like this to be more was much more naturalized in the end almost like this chat that we are having we also had to share with Martin with other colleagues of yours also a nice moment and well one always always thinks that in that the game and in this case the kids should be above everything and also the possibility that the people can participate in what should be a feast of the city's football so I have I have the same the same impression.

I love the cup because as I say the contexts help the kids a lot and what we lived in Reconquista what was lived in Tostado last year in Rafaela nothing is something different from day to day different inferiority for different AFA reserve and the kid forms the character forms the personality makes him live situations closer to what he is going to live in professional football I recently named the defenders of Colón de San Justo I always have them as references maybe it is one of their main virtues to look for great defenders and last year well this year was Ratoti and in union that now left but that kid surely forms more with that kind of defenders because the day he has to debut he is going to mark it is not played with Racing and he is going to mark Marcos Rojo who is 36 years old and who is going to hit him a punch a headbutt in a corner and the kid if he only arrives with his formative stage of lower divisions and surely he would not have lived it if he does not touch this kind of context that touches us with the league or with Copa Santa Fe.

we share the vision for us the cup is a competitive instance very important is a priority for our block we feel ourselves to have the possibility that with our block of representing the club obviously that already gives us gives us a flow of absolute importance and tied to this that says Martin is and the kids live experiences that not the that not they happen in any other side and they have and they have to live them and not only because they are experiences that do not live in another scenario are necessary experiences for for what is coming what is coming in their next 20 years hopefully 20 years of professional career then we return we are going to always return to the same point of the cup is important that they live these experiences are are determinant help us strengthen a lot of tools and well they load that that suitcase of the necessary experience to take the step to professionalism.
