The explosive version of Vecchio’s possible departure from Racing: why the team’s top management would have given the thumbs up

“He’s leaving because they don’t want him anymore”. “The locker room canceled it“It is 20:28 on Tuesday 21 February and on Radio La Rossa they are answering a question that many racing enthusiasts ask: Why shouldn’t Emiliano Vecchio continue at the Academy?

The arrival of the Magnate on the blue-and-white side of Avellaneda has aroused attention. It happened in June 2022 and arrived after leaving Rosario Central, the club of his loves, with some controversy. The former villain had had differences with the management, he was out of shape and with an irregular present, but before getting on the Cylinder he did a special job, he lost six kilos and it was enough that he touched a couple of balls for the fans to understand that they were dealing with a different player.

Twenty days go by and he scores his first goal, in an afternoon of total football for Fernando Gago’s team which ends with a 5-0 win against Aldosivi. But it was on 10 July, in the Avellaneda classic against Independiente, that Vecchio showed his entire repertoire: he was master of half the pitch, he caused the 1-0 penalty scored by Enzo Copetti and that day, a month and a little after his arrival, he definitely won the affection of the people. Even if the day ended badly because he retired injured and was out for two months due to a strain.

Appointment 22 was played and Vecchio would have been fundamental in a game of those that remain in memory. Racing lost 3-1 against none other than Rosario Central and the midfielder was instrumental in the comeback allowing the Academy to continue dreaming of the championship lost on the last day at the hands of Boca.

That Friday evening in Avellaneda, after his consecration meeting, Vecchio questioned his continuity at the Academy. He caught the attention of many, however, the situation responded to a logic that governed his entire career: the Tycoon does not play more than a year on average at the 12 clubs he has played for throughout his career.

The championship that would have been defined on the 27th continued and at the same time the “operational seduction” so that old. And the Tycoon continued to do his thing. He broke it in Racing’s win against Atlético Tucumán, until then, and then played a great game (although he missed a penalty) in Varela’s equaliser.

But the former centre-back picked up a serious injury in Gago’s men’s victory at Elephants Cemetery just before the end of the tournament. And there the doubts returned. First, he thanked fans on his Instagram account in a post that sounded like a farewell. Later his environment suggested that he would leave football. And then he assured that if he continued, he would only play in Racing.

Despite the automatic renewal clause that forces clubs to keep the job of the injured, in recent days the continuity of Vecchio in Racing has begun to be questioned. And fans began to wonder what had changed after his strong words.

Why Vecchio would not continue in racing: the controversial version

But on Tuesday evening, in the program hosted by Marcelo Palacios on Radio La Red, a version of the facts was given, at least controversial. What did they say? Here we are.

“It’s deleted”Hugo Balassone made his debut. But, the journalist Daniele Fava put the bomb: “And enter the bolonqui who has entered the locker roomAnd Palacios blew it: “When Lisandro López became engaged to Blanco’s daughter, no one gave him a thumbs up. But If Vecchio starts a relationship with the president’s daughter, I’ll give his thumb away?

To tell the truth, according to the version given on La Red, Lisandro López, the latest idol of Racing fans, would have separated from Mercedes Blanco, whom he married in February 2021 and with whom he already had a daughter born in October 2020. According to what was also reported by the Palermo radio studio, the daughter of the academic president would have started a relationship with Emiliano Vecchio.

“The problem is that the Racing players don’t tolerate his messing with a colleague’s ex-wife“Continued Fava. “If Lisandro López had a child with President Blanco’s daughter, I don’t care. AND It’s not on campus to say, I’ll put my thumb down (to the Old Man). It’s a decision of the people who can relate to whoever they want,” the driver retorted.

According to what was told to La Red, the relationship between Vecchio and the top management of the Academy would not go back. The players would take a clear stand in support of the player who returned to Racing and was instrumental in the title won by the team led by Eduardo Coudet.

What will the fans say? Perhaps the answer lies in two dates, when Sarmiento de Junín (the team where Licha plays today) visits the Cilindro de Avellaneda.

Vecchio’s reaction: “I want to clarify any doubts”

With hours of delay compared to what was reported by Radio La Rossa, the still Racing player replied to the versions that have been heard since yesterday.

“Hello everyone. I felt the need to clarify my current situation. I want to clarify any doubts or speculations. I am a Racing player, I am grateful for all the love that both my teammates and the fans of this club give me. incredible institution. I take this opportunity to thank Víctor, Fernando, Mago Caria and the whole institution for supporting me in this difficult time for me. I hope we can come to fruition and continue together for a while longer, if not, I will be eternally grateful for giving me this beautiful opportunity. Let’s go racing!”
