Fernando Gago He has already entered the history of Racing: he has equaled a mark that for 55 years no one has matched. In 1967, Juan José Pizzuti also had nine consecutive winning games.

The current account will start on the fifth date of Professional League Cup there are Workshops (1 to 0); Atletico Tucuman (4 to 0); Independent (2 to 1); Gymnastics and Skipping (Argentine Cup, 3 to 1); Sarmiento (4 to 1); Uruguay River (South American Cup, 1 to 0); Platense (1 to 0); Cuiabá (Copa Sudamericana, 2 to 0) and Unión (1 to 0)

How and when can you break the record? If on Wednesday, during his visit to the Board of Trustees, he is able to force himself to reach the tenth consecutive win. If that happens, it will be the best record in 55 years and will be four shy on a mark that at this point seems impossible to beat: 14 consecutive wins that Racing got past over 100 yearsin the 1915 championship.

If that sounds hard, it’s harder for Gago to match the other Pizzuti numbers: it is champion including the local tournament Academy, the Liberators and the Intercontinental. So far, the inexperienced coach has reached a mark compared to the achievements of “Team Jose”It’s just statistics.

Gago’s account began on March 5 and the victory against Unión ended 42 days later, a period almost longer than the ’67 Race demanded.

Like the current one, the 1967 streak added up to nine consecutive wins. In that case, the victories were chained to less than a month, between the Metropolitan Tournament and the Copa Libertadores matches: the consecutive match against River was cut short, with no goal tied for the first. of Libertadores.
