The campus of Racing spent the night in the city of San Luis, about 100 kilometers from Villa Mercedes, the city where the modern stadium where the final of the Champions Trophy. The hotel is located on Viale Arturo Illia, which concentrates the nightlife of puntana, full of bowling alleys and very busy bars. Although the block was closed very early on Saturday, the night was altered by a curious fact.
The hotel is almost around the corner. Even the most incompetent realizes that there is a football team there. The entire entrance is surrounded by colorful fences white, blue and yellow, a curiosity since the delegation of the “Academy” is there. Also, at the top they hung a flag that says “Welcome Nico Oroz to your home”. The Racing midfielder was born 28 years ago at Villa Mercedes.
Despite being a very busy area, after midnight everything was very quiet. The interrupted traffic, the fences, a couple of policemen on duty and no annoying noise. A necessary peace to rest. However, around 6:00 this Sunday, just the time to leave the bowling alleys, things changed, at least for a couple of minutes.
The fact is that right in front of where the Squadra Corse was, there is a dance hall, they heard loud screams and whistles. But they weren’t more than one or two people. “Someone who came out a bit quilted”assured the concierge of the adjoining hotel.
Anyway, what was heard with a very strong voicerumor that doubled the attempt to alter the rest of the team led by Fernando Gago: “Wake up Copetti”.
He has just targeted the striker, who is here in San Luis but will not play due to the right knee injury suffered in the semifinal against Tigre last Wednesday. The night owls continued their journey, the stable found its immense silence and the rest continued.
