The First National tournament began and it has two teams representing the province of Córdoba: Racing de Nueva Italia and
Students from Rio Cuarto. Both teams integrate two different zones. The ‘Academy’ is part of Group B and the ‘León’ of Group A.
It will be a long road, in which the first two from each zone will play a final to define the first promotion to the highest category, while from the second to the eighth they will play the reduced one for the second promotion. Meanwhile, the two teams that are last in each zone will be relegated directly, while the third relegation will come from a playoff played between the penultimate of each group.
The first of the people from Cordoba to go on stage was Estudiantes. And it was not in the best way. Those led by Marcelo Vázquez made their debut on Friday night at the Candini and fell 1-0 against San Martín de Tucumán. An unexpected defeat in the ‘Empire’, although the team went from low to high in the game. On the second day, the Rio Cuartenses will seek recovery by visiting Temperley next Saturday.
For this championship, Estudiantes brought in a dozen footballers, including midfielder, ex-Talleres, Nery Leyes, and striker, ex-Instituto, Mateo Bajamich. The intention is to be among the teams that are fighting for a place for promotion.
Return. For the ‘Academy’ it will be a special tournament. The Nueva Italia team returns to this division after 18 years. For this reason, the leadership moved in the transfer market so that Carlos Bossio can put together a squad that consolidates in the category and be able to be in the First National for a long time.
Racing, which is part of Group B, does not debut this weekend, but the next. It will be on Saturday, at 5:00 p.m., against Brown
of Adrogué as a visitor.
For his return, he brought in Augusto Berrondo, Carlos Tellas, Mateo Castellano, Juan Cruz Argüello, Joaquín Matalia, Nicolás Cavagnero, Elías Calderón, Jorge Scolari, Iván Pomba, Joaquín Mateo, Franco Coronel, José Méndez, Franco Fragueda, Alejandro Cabral, Francisco Mattia, Augusto Gallo and Antu Hernandez.
By the way, Hernández was the first addition, but he probably didn’t make the preseason because he suffered bilateral pneumonia from a bacterium that left him in critical condition for almost 20 days. This week, recently, he returned to training.
In the run-up to the start of the tournament, both people from Cordoba were affected by the Córdoba Clásicos Cup and it was a victory for Racing.
RECOVERED. Hernández was in intensive care, but he has already started training with his teammates.
