Students have the big goal of the semester ahead of them next Thursday, when they will face Fortaleza again for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 after the 1-1 scoreline won on Brazilian soil.
However, before said meeting, Pincha must focus on the domestic competition to recover ground after the two consecutive defeats accumulated by Ricardo Zielinski and his team.
Given this, León will face Arsenal today in the Julio Humberto Grondona. The crossing, corresponding to the sixth date of the First Division Tournament, will start at 5:00 p.m. and will have Nicolás Lamolina in charge of dispensing justice. Germán Delfino will be in the VAR together with Gerardo Carretero.
With the objective of both returning to add three, the confrontation between those of the Russian and those directed by Leonardo Carol Madelón can only be seen live through the encrypted cable signal ESPN Premium, although the pampering can be followed by the classic Supertransmi of FM La Redonda, on 100.3 of the dial as more than 25 years ago.
Before the Cup crossing, Pincha needs to deepen the soccer growth that it has already shown in Brazilian lands, and Ass, which does not come at all well in the domestic competition, appears as a good opportunity to do so.
A PRIORI, THE RUSSIAN WOULD KEEP LITTLE
Although he did not confirm the eleven, after yesterday’s last practice at the City Bell Country, where the stopped ball was the absolute focus, everything seems to indicate that Estudiantes will present two modifications today in the afternoon with respect to those who equaled with Fortaleza last Thursday at the Castelao stadium: the income of Jorge Morel by Jorge Rodríguez and the debut in ownership of former Atlético Tucumán Leonardo Heredia, who will take the place of Mauro Boselli in the attacking front.
In this way, the other nine protagonists who started against the Brazilians will repeat at the Viaducto, so León will rearm the 4-4-2 with: Mariano Andújar; Leonardo Godoy, Luciano Lollo, Fabián Noguera and Emmanuel Mas; Manuel Castro, Fernando Zuqui, the Paraguayan Morel and Franco Zapiola; the aforementioned Heredia and Leandro Díaz.
The truth is that Pincha has everything ready for a somewhat uncomfortable meeting considering his schedule, but from which he needs to come out with flying colors to recover ground after the setbacks against Independiente in Avellaneda and against Newell’s in UNO.
FIRST TIME FOR PABLO PIATTI
In addition to the possible starters for the matchup with Ass, yesterday, Estudiantes announced the squad list, which highlights the name of Pablo Piatti, who will have his first time since returning to the Club, now with the number 31 on the back.
In this way, the former Elche will occupy a place on the relay bench, but with concrete chances of adding football minutes, also thinking about Thursday’s match in UNO against Fortaleza.
In addition to Piatti, among those summoned appear: Jerome Pourtau; Augustine Rogel and Bruno Valdez; Jorge Rodriguez, Benjamin Rollheiser, Alan Marinelli, Hernan Toledo, Brian Orosco and Gonzalo Pineiro; Mauro Boselli and Matthew Pellegrino.
THIS IS HOW THE LION’S CALENDAR WILL FOLLOW AT LOCAL LEVEL
Beyond today’s match in the framework of the Argentine tournament and the one on Thursday night for the Copa Libertadores, Estudiantes already knows a good part of what their course will be from here until the end of July.
For the seventh date of the First Division Tournament, next Sunday he will receive UNO at Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero from 13.
On Wednesday the 13th, but for the 16th final of the Argentine Cup, they will meet Belgrano de Córdoba, which will finally be played at the Unión de Santa Fe court, with a time yet to be confirmed.
A few days later and again within the framework of the domestic contest, he will visit Tigre for the eighth date. This match will be on Sunday 17, and will take place from 18.
On Wednesday the 20th he will see action again for the First Division Tournament. On this occasion, those led by Ricardo Zielinski will receive a visit from Barracas Central, from 9:30 p.m., while on Sunday 24 they will close the intense streak visiting Boca at La Bombonera on date 10. The meeting with Xeneize will start from 8:30 p.m.
All of the above, a priori, without taking into account the possibility of settling in the Libertadores Quarters and what happens with the Pirata in the Argentine Cup.
