The president of San Lorenzo warms up the preview of the classic against Huracán: “For me, Boca is more important”

Only five days left Saint Lawrence visit Hurricanefor the seventh appointment of Professional League Cup AND Marcelo Morettipresident of Ciclón, did not escape controversy and entered the preview of the duel against Globo with a spicy phrase.

The greatest local classic in the world will be in its 189th edition and the Ciclón can boast a very important record on the Globe with 87 victories, over 47 for the Huracán. Furthermore, they have drawn 53 times.

This is why the priority for Moretti is not the weekend classic, but to give more relevance to the clash with Boca.

“It’s a very important classic, neighborhood. For me Boca is more important as a classic, but hey, we have to give it the importance of the case”the president of the Azulgrana team said it in an interview with ESPN.

The fact is that Cuervo is the only Argentine football team that can boast some paternity with Xeneize: in general history, Boedo’s team won 83 times, compared to 75 for Boca.

“I’d rather beat Boca than Huracán,” the Ciclón president doubled his bet.

With these declarations Moretti arrived at the preview of the classics event, but he was not the only one in San Lorenzo. Once the match against Tigre was over, Barça’s scorer and captain, Adam Bareiro, spoke and said in his post-match statements: “We don’t lose against those“.

It should be remembered that it is not the first time that Bareiro raises the temperature of the duel against Globo. Last year, after scoring the equalizer, he made a controversial gesture, in the form of a celebration, which Huracán didn’t like at all. “The mustache is for a boy from Paraguay, I dedicate it to him”, he said at the time, although no one doubted that it had been a burden for Matías Cóccaro.

How teams get to the classic

Next Saturday San Lorenzo will visit Huracán for the seventh round of the Professional League Cup, starting at 7.30pm, at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó.
