Hauche leaves Racing: the reasons for his departure and his emotional farewell message

Christmas left Avellaneda with a surprise that he didn’t like: Gabriel Hauche he announced through his social media that he will be leaving Racing. “Saying goodbye to the places where we were happy is not easy but sometimes it is necessary: ​​today I feel that the time has come to close this stage of Racing and to look for new horizons for my football career”, was the beginning of text.

The letter continues with heartfelt thanks to the club in which he played three cycles: “Life has given me the enormous privilege of defending this shirt and, with strengths and weaknesses, I have always given my all. In every training session and in every Ho I gave my all to live up to what a club like ours claims to be.

“I had the honor of being part of champion teams and those emotions, those unforgettable moments, will accompany me until the last day”, said the player, protagonist of three Olympic tours with those colours.

The reasons for Hauche’s decision

Days ago Gustavo Costas had mentioned the way of working that he will implement upon his return to the Academy and, as he said, he hoped that the Devil could continue on campus.

“I need people who are committed, I’ve spoken to many… We need them to know what Racing is. I need the team to be 100% committed to the shirt and Hauche is one of them. It’s important to have identified players,” he said in dialogue. with Racing de Alma.

The attacker’s post clarifies that it was a technique to apply pressure and not simply information. Why? The player’s contract expires at the end of the year and negotiations with the management for his new salary were close to an agreement.

On the contrary: I am deeply grateful to those who opened the door for me in January 2022 so that I could set foot on the Cylinder again. None of this would have been possible without the support from my teammates, the technical staff, the medical staff and the workers of the club. I owe a lot to all of them. For you fans, those who encourage me in good times and bad, I have only words of admiration: you are the heart of the club and it will always be that way,” Hauche explained.

The arrivals of Roger Martínez and Maximiliano Romero during Fernando Gago’s stay ended up relegating the Demon to the reserves bench, although every time he had to come on he responded with his category.

More: the Colombian’s injury gave the number 7 another opportunity, which he exploited well: In the cycle of Sebastián Grazzini and Ezequiel Videla he played six games (four from the start) and scored two goals. His 37 years have not influenced his physical side, nor his commitment: in the club they see him as a reference and, with his departure, Racing loses a fundamental piece in the locker room.

And now? Costas will have to face the first big challenge since his return: replacing a big player. “If someone had told me that I would live this incredible story, I wouldn’t have believed it. But… sometimes reality is more beautiful than the most beautiful dreams. I love you very much, Racing. Thank you very much. “Thank you for a lifetime,” concluded Hauche. A surprising farewell…
