“Good day... beautiful morning, right?”... the phrase that Guillermo Francella installed in the world of football for his former film Extermineitors IV: As Twin Brothers, from 1992, was once again used by the fanatic artist of the Academy. Although this time he added a pinch of seasoning: “Nah, what it was this time, what it was this time! Pac!”.
The actor's bond with the Academy is common. Throughout his career, the notable comedian appealed to the resource of mentioning Racing in his works. Cola Brigade, Married with Children, The Secret of Their Eyes or An Argentine in New York are some examples of this.
Racing won by 2 to 1 against Independiente at the Libertadores de America-Ricardo Bochini stadium and was at least momentarily at the top of his group, within the framework of the seventh round of the Professional League Cup. Three minutes after the start of the match, the Demon Gabriel Hauche opened the score in favor of the Academy, while in the second stage Lucas González temporarily equalized and Enzo Copetti sealed the albiceleste triumph 5 minutes from the end.
The Academy, which won its third win in a row (1-0 to Talleres de Córdoba and 4-0 to Atlético Tucumán, the previous ones), is a team that is going “from less to more” so far in the tournament, as revealed by Fernando Gago. However, the coach himself recommended putting his foot on the brake and “not to anticipate too much, because the tournament is very long”.
Pintita also dismissed the possibility of claiming “a rematch” for his previous poor performance in Aldosivi in Mar del Plata, his previous institution. “I don't want to talk about revenge. It is a different cycle, in which we are all growing to put a competitive team on the pitch in all commitments,” said the DT.
The local public, after the defeat, insulted the president of the institution, Hugo Moyano, who had to request the help of his personal security to calm a group of exalted partners who had crowded in the windows of the official box.
