Luguercio isn’t a proper striker, and the others in the squad are too young to benefit from playing in a relegation struggle.

Having said that, I’m mightily relieved at last night’s win. For a second, I was buoyant, I actually thought Racing might streak ahead 3 or 4, but this is Racing, and I spent the whole of the last 40 minutes just *waiting* for the equaliser. I wondered why sooo much injury time was being added, and I was convinced it was solely to give Estudiantes time to equalise.

A huuuge relief to hear the whistle. Shaffer and Lucero are impressing me right now, and we’re getting glimpses of the real Maxi Moralez. But I would still swap Llop for Simeone *tomorrow*, I don’t expect to get anything from River next week, and this win last night was the very least the side needed to approach matches like Central with any kind of confidence.

Remember, this was an Estudiantes second team waiting for a new DT, so it isn’t so momentous.

I think nobody had expected them to win the match when they were losing by two and playing awfully. I think Sava is a great striker. He may not have superb technique, but he’s extremely effective in the scoring box and Racing misses him a lot.

By the way, Racing’s win 2-1 over Estudiantes is another great step for the team of Avellaneda in their road to avoid promotion.

Regarding to Velez, I think they’re a solid team. They neither play very well nor delight the fans, but they work well on the pitch, basing their game on a touch and run basis.

Like I always say, this site is great
