Velez Sarsfieldthat since the arrival of DT Ricardo Gareca did not achieve the expected successes, this Sunday hosts Barracas Central, which will see the debut of Sergio Rondina as a coach, in one of the matches completing the twelfth 12 of the Professional Soccer League (LPF).
The match will be played at the José Amalfitani stadium, in the Liniers district of Buenos Aires, from 14:00, broadcast by TNT Sports and with the refereeing by Luis Lobo Medina, while Héctor Paletta will be at the VAR.
After Vélez’s bad campaign (14 points) under Uruguayan Alexander Medina, the arrival of Gareca made the Velez fan very excited, but the team managed only five points out of 12 and that production was not lived up to expectations.
It is obvious that Gareca needs time to translate his idea, but the good squad that Vélez has, with a combination of youth and experience, means that a reaction from the squad and promotion in the LPF table is expected as he is 17th today .
Barracas, who just beat Platense at home (1-0), will make “Huevo” Rondina debut in place of the outgoing Rodolfo De Paoli.
With only 12 units and in the 21st. Well, Barracas is running a dull campaign and their mission is to score as many points as possible to avoid relegation.
Barracas is 20th in the average standings, a position which is not bad but which does not even authorize him to have a bad run since it could get complicated in a season in which there will be three relegations to the First National team.
