Fernando Gago stoned Emiliano Vecchio at Racing: “From a physical point of view, he still lacks a lot of things”

The Academy coach did not think about the former Colo Colo, even though he has already fully recovered from the serious injury suffered in October last year.

Emiliano Vecchio is still not taken into account at Racing. The former Colo has overcome the torn cruciate ligament suffered in October and returned to practice, but he still doesn’t have the ability to add minutes. His absence caused a sensation in Argentina, which is why this Saturday, explained Fernando Gago, coach of the Academy.

The Trans-Andean coach was direct after the draw between Racing and San Lorenzo. Without dodging the question, he answered honestly about the steering wheel gift. “If he wants to compete and win a place, Emiliano (Vecchio) must be in optimal condition. From a fitness point of view, he still lacks a lot. Until I see it in the best condition, it will not be available,” he said.

Decisive sentence, which he justified by his work ethic within the Argentine team. “I have something very clear and I have maintained it throughout my work since I joined Racing. These are rules and behaviors that everyone must respect. “I look for the best physical condition for every footballer” he explained.

In this way, the former Colo Colo midfielder’s possible return to the team is a total unknown, although he has the possibility of not playing again before the end of the current campaign. In the past, the former Boca Juniors had already been direct when it came to removing footballers. A few months ago, he gave a similar response when Edwin Cardona was not playing for the team and ultimately the Colombian ended up leaving the club earlier than expected.

Although Racing is undefeated in the highest trans-Andean competition, its midweek elimination from the Argentine Cup has heated up the atmosphere among supporters and technical staff. After the defeat against Huracán, a group of supporters had a discussion with Gustavo Gallego, one of Fernando Gago’s collaborators. The DT apologized for what happened, after the image went viral because one of the fans was recording the moment.

“It was a mistake. I disagree and as the leader of my group, I take responsibility. Sometimes there are situations that I don’t know if you can’t handle them. He was wrong, I assume my responsibilities and I apologize to the people of Racing “If it bothered him,” he said.

Of course, in this sense, Gago tried to downplay the situation. “It wasn’t everyone, there were four or five who insulted the boys during the warm-up. I’m not justifying what (Gallego) did, it’s very wrong on the part of my staff. But sometimes you have to understand situations. And the boys don’t need to react either,” the strategist said.
