On the eve of this Sunday’s crucial 3:30 p.m. clash against Colón on 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 on the upswing, with Javier Delbarba already confirmed as referee.
The Chaco team is going through rainy, chilly days in Resistencia that have forced some training sessions onto artificial turf, but that have not slowed the optimism 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 place and secure survival in the division. For this “crusade,” the arrival on the bench of club legend Daniel “Chango” Cravero—a top idol who recently overcame a serious health issue—had an immediate impact both mentally and on the field.
“In these two matches under Cravero, For Ever has changed tremendously. 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 looking to keep the ball and minimize mistakes.”
In addition, the journalist praised the club’s excellent optimization of its financial resources, managing to strengthen the squad with low-cost signings who delivered immediate results. He highlighted the impact of Leandro Fernández (formerly of Villa Mitre) as a standout performer, the balance Federico Moreno brought to midfield after 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 for the back line.
Regarding the tactical plan 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 at Isla Maciel, the reporter gave 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.
