He traveled from one extreme to another Rosario Central. In the same night. Nothing more in a while. They are those transfers that football, from time to time, usually delivers. From the recognition of its public for the search for protagonism, to win with a clear superiority in control of the ball, the Scoundrel went to hell until it became a subdued team, whistled by its fans. Defeated, definitely. The humble Central Barracks dealt him a very hard blow I left in the middle of a very hot climate in the Gigante de Arroyito, just before the classic with Newell’s…
It seemed that the fans who filled their stadium would have a quiet day. There were reasons to perceive that. Central, at home, took the ball and circulated it in the rival field. He was patient behind the spaces that he was trying to find and that Guapo did not give in easily in his eagerness to shrink backwards. Marco Ruben’s goal came and it was good that Central won. But… In football there are always buts.
As if Barracas had smelled that his opponent was loose-jawed, it was from accurate attacks. He began to cheer up because the Scoundrel lacked precision to liquidate him, this demonstrated in some chances that the local could not crystallize in the network.
Carlos Arce’s great goal left Central dizzy. It was a matter of giving him one more push to finish taking advantage of it. Barracas, emotionally strengthened, did not take long to reach the second lunge after that rude mistake by Komar and the anger of the fans broke out, who insulted the players and asked them for more dedication. The Giant of Arroyito was a boiler. Central wandered the field, stunned by the opponent’s hammer blows and by the punishment of their own fans. Barracas took advantage of that nervousness, took more of that bewilderment with his third shout. “That on Sunday, whatever it takes, on Sunday we have to win”, was the cry of the fans, before the whistles in the farewell.
