Enzo Copetti is one of the figures of this Racing and also the scorer. The one who raises the sacrifice flag, the one who never gives up a ball for loss and the one who adds scoring quota to that. The Academy striker plays with his heart in his hand. He goes to all of them and seems tireless. Undoubtedly, it was brought in by him, back on the third date after Correa’s injury, it was one of the reasons why the team began to improve. He creates spaces, fouls, scores goals and does not stop running. But it wasn’t easy for Enzo. Even after the huge and overwhelming victory against Aldosivi, Copetti’s harsh confession was what had the most impact on Racing.
A player who, although he started with the right foot in the club, began to complicate the panorama. The Academy striker lowered his performance considerably and also had some gestures in celebrations that went down badly. From there and in the middle of a Racing that played very badly, Copetti was one of the focuses of criticism. Nor did some statements from close friends who gave him away from the club by the end of the year.
To all this was added that his sights were out of focus and that Javier Correa, with very little, won him the position. But with Fernando Gago, already in a good position of nine, he began to lift. However, there was a time when he was still suffering from criticism and had not consolidated, in which he thought the worst on a sporting level. And the most curious and striking thing is that it happened in this tournament, in the preview of the Avellaneda classic in which the Academy striker ended up scoring the gold victory.
Copetti’s statement that made noise in Racing
Now everything is euphoria, but just a couple of months ago, Copetti had a hard time with his time at Racing. Very bad. To such an extent that he thought of leaving everything and dedicating himself to something else. This is how his partner confessed it on the Cilindro beach after 5-0 in the quarterfinals “This is incredible because many times he wanted to throw in the towel. Just recently, before the game against Independiente he started crying because he wanted to leave”, started counting Araceli in TyC Sports. And immediately, in the same medium, Copetti confirmed the version: “It is totally true. 100%. He is a player who suffers a lot of criticism and although many do not see it, we feel it too much. Being criticized and saying ugly things to you is not easy.”
In addition, Copetti’s wife said that it was key for the striker to continue in Racing and even predicted what was going to happen. “I told him not to go crazy, that he had to score a goal against Independiente and that he started there to not stop”, he confessed. And to this was added the word of the Academy striker who today enjoys the present: “I made the best decision with my wife who supports me and supports me in everything. We chose to insist a little more and luckily it is taking the best way”
