Fernando Gago recognizes what he likes most about Cardona in Racing: “He has sacrifice”

Although Edwin Cardona has not managed to dazzle Racing as a result of his injuries, the coach of the Avellaneda team, Fernando Gago, praised him for the sacrifice in the matches: although he is an offensive player, he contributed what he needed in defense every time he was asked.

In conversation with ESPN, Gago was asked about the feelings that the Colombian has left him since his arrival on the team, and he acknowledged his work in the early days of the First Division of the Argentine Super League. To refer to him, he recalled the match against Defensa y Justicia for the second day, in which he reported with a goal and an assist

“The second goal against Defensa comes from his in-band pressure against their right-back, it is a recovery from him,” the strategist initially commented. He also stated that, contrary to creative flyers that do not support the work of the brand, Cardona contributes in this aspect when necessary.

Cardona's last commitment to the Academy was on March 7, facing Talleres. That day he started, but he didn't finish the first half after feeling a muscular discomfort. It was later confirmed that it was a condition in the femoral biceps of the left leg.

Since then, the holder of the number '20′ missed two key commitments of his team, in the 4-0 victory over Atletico Tucumán and 2-1 over Independiente, in the classic.

From Argentina they report that during this week Cardona will return to training with his teammates to be at the top on March 27, in the confrontation with Gimnasia.

Edwin, who came to L Academia after a controversial 2021 with Boca Juniors, where he not only gave something to talk about for his football, but for his acting off the court (leaving his team for a key match for Copa Libertadores to return to Colombia, where he was seen partying together with singer Nelson Velásquez) apparently feels comfortable in his new club. This was recently expressed by the president of Racing, Victor Blanco, in conversation with the program Cómo te va:

The leader also expressed his taste for the process he is carrying out as DT Fernando Gago. “I see serious work in it. We have an important squad, one of the best in Argentine football. With the work, in the long run, the results will be produced. We have to support”, he said.

He also highlighted the way in which the club managed to draw in its last game when it fell by two goals: “With River I liked that Racing stood up. Then we were unlucky that in 15 minutes we went 0-2 down. Double merit what did Racing to lift the match. And we could have taken all three points.”
