“There’s a chance he travels”: Ricky Centurión boost for Colón clash

In an interview with Radio Gol, journalist Juan Manuel Spontón gave a detailed overview of how Racing de Nueva Italia is shaping up for next Sunday’s crucial clash against Colón. After a “bitter pill” in their last outing against Bolívar, the Córdoba side is looking to regroup during a week marked by the physical progress of its top star and the possibility of a more conservative tactical approach.

The hopeful question: Will Ricky Centurión travel?

One of the main points of the interview was the condition of Ricardo Centurión. Although at the start of the week he seemed ruled out due to a minor tear in his right adductor, Spontón revealed that in the last few hours a possibility has emerged: “There is a chance he will travel and be on the bench.”

Speaking about the former Racing de Avellaneda player’s current situation, the reporter highlighted his low profile: “He goes unnoticed; his very low-key, humble, and hardworking attitude is striking. He’s clear that this is an opportunity to relaunch his career.”

The Torres-Motta duo’s plan for the Brigadier López

After Pablo Fornazari’s departure, the coaching duo of Ramiro Torres and Pablo Motta is hoping to be confirmed in the role. Against El Sabalero, a more cautious Racing is expected than the one seen in recent matches:

  • Change of system: Spontón said the team “is going to be a little more cautious against Colón,” looking to crowd the midfield more in order to gain balance and better control of the ball.
  • Backing the goalkeeper: Despite his mistake in the rain in the last match, Brian Olivera will remain the first-choice keeper.
  • An experienced debut: Gaspar Vega is expected to make his debut, a midfielder over 30 who arrived through an injured-player replacement slot and will bring much-needed experience to the middle of the park.

Probable lineup for Sunday

The tentative lineup being reported by the Córdoba press for the visit to Colón includes: Brian Olivera; Chamorro (or Rinaudo), Aranda, Matías Sánchez, Manuel Díaz; Rinaudo (or Machado), Olinick, Kummer (or Gaspar Vega), Machado; Leandro Córdoba and Javier Chavarria.

Racing knows it is facing a tough run of away matches (Colón, Morón, and Godoy Cruz), and the goal behind closed doors is clear: “Finish among the top seven to qualify for the playoff and the Copa Argentina.”
