Just like against Tigre last weekend, Paolo Guerrero he added minutes again in the Argentine Professional League and entered the complementary stage during the 3-0 victory of racing club about Sarandi Arsenal. The Peruvian striker had a clear chance to score his first goal with the ‘Academy’, however, his anxiety played a trick on him and his shot went wide. Despite this, his performance left according to Fernando Gagowho is taking it little by little.
After the final whistle at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium, the technical director of the Avellaneda team appeared with the media and analyzed the presentation given by the former Avaí player. ‘Pintita’ was calm with what he saw, because he knows that the best version of Paolo will occur when he accumulates the greatest number of minutes possible. “Well, the idea is that he adds minutes little by little and that the rhythm of the game is good, which is what he needs”, he stated.
In the few minutes that he has already played with the ‘Acade’ in two games, the ’22’ has had two clear chances to make his debut in Argentine football. However, the lack of rhythm is noticeable and the desperation to score is playing a leading role in this beginning of Guerrero in the football of the world champion. Surely Gago will continue giving him more minutes and in one of those, when he is left alone facing the goal, Paolo will ‘nail’ it into the nets.
Racing Club’s next match will be this Wednesday, February 22, against San Martín Formosa for the 2023 Argentina Cup, scheduled for 7:40 pm (Peruvian time) at the Cilindro de Avellaneda. Although some considered that Fernando Gago would take advantage of this meeting to rotate some players, the coach made it clear that this will not be the case: “I have not yet defined who will play for Copa Argentina. Surely those who are best will play. I don’t think about the concept of rotating players, for me there will always be those who are best”.
Racing Club’s goal for 2023
One of the great objectives of racing club for this season it will be to be the protagonist of the 2023 Copa Libertadores. After having been close to winning the 2022 Argentine Professional League, the managers of the ‘Academy’ aim high and want to make that leap internationally.
For the latter, the arrival of Paolo Guerrero It will be key, since they trust that it can provide them with that hierarchy quota that every big team needs in their offense and generate spaces between the opposing defenses to achieve the greatest number of goals possible. Apparently against Tigre and Arsenal de Sarandí, the all-time top scorer of the Peruvian National Team will be very useful.
