How Huracán and San Lorenzo arrive at the greatest neighborhood classic in the world

Boedo and Patricios Park They increase the summer temperature even a little more than what the summer thermometer currently shows in 2024. The biggest neighborhood classic in the world He started playing on microphones with spicy chicanes by both presidents, but the truth will be seen on Saturday starting at 7.30 pm on the Tomás Adolfo Ducó grass. And for this duel, Hurricane and San Lorenzo They are crossed by very contrasting realities in their shores: the premises will be addressed ad interim Walter Coyette while I’m looking for a new coach and have the visit on my mind Ruben Dario Insua to an in-house technician fully established in the position 20 months ago and with a recently signed two-year contract.

I’m not having fun after the hurricane of Diego Martínez’s farewell, who interrupted his contract to go and coach Boca. The arrival of Facundo Sava It didn’t work as expected and its cycle lasted less than the sigh of an excited fan. After falling painfully 1-0 to Vélez in Liniers last weekend, the Colorado He resigned and left a crop of 22% points in the six games in which he led the team in this League Cup.

They beat Banfield 2-0 in the first match and since then Globo has never managed to return to victory: accumulates four defeats and a draw. Now the management is completely dedicated to finding a coach because the situation needs to be resolved as soon as possible. The first call was to Ariel HolanBut Teacher it was quickly discarded.

Frank Dario Kudelka it is he who appears as the plan B. Within the Board of Directors he is one of the names that receives the greatest consensus. The Cordobese has already managed the Huracán in two previous cycles (2013-14 and 2021-22). However, everything indicates that Coyette will sit on the bench this Saturday, leading the youth divisions of La Quemita.

Could a win against his arch-rival give him credit for extending his interim mandate? That’s not the idea first of President David Garzón to extend the issue further, even though it is clear that beating Ciclón at home would be like applying a cold cloth to the forehead of a feverish person. A relief that would calm everyone down a bit to calmly choose Sava’s successor.

On the other side, San Lorenzo doesn’t have the problems of its neighbor. She knew how to get them, of course. Before Gallego, they had a lot of fun in Boedo technician after technicianwithout finding the right one. Until, after having discarded many options, Insua’s choice ended up bringing order back to football.

The man with thick hair blowing in the wind took charge of the team in a difficult moment, brought back internal peace and gave it a playing identity based on solidity and dedication. Qualified for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, was competitive locally, remained in the semi-finals of the Copa Argentina and It put him back in the Copa Libertadores, which he will play this year.

Beyond an elusive start in 2024, he managed to rebound last Saturday against Tigre at the Nuevo Gasómetro, just in the week before the classic. And if we talk about classics, the Galician smiles: he has only lost two (with River and Racing) in this second cycle in the Barça shirt.

They faced Huracán three times, with one win and two draws. In his only visit to Ducó he didn’t fall, even though he didn’t win either: 1-1 draw with a great goal from Jalil Elías. This Saturday will be his second visit to the Palace with the blue and red diver.

A favorable fact for Huracán is that this scenario has been difficult for San Lorenzo in recent years as they had not won since 2017 (1-0 with goal from Marcos Angeleri).

Parque de los Patricios and Boedo are already warming up for a derby that will pit their players against each other. The Globe needs oxygen as it searches for DT and Cyclone Insua wants to ratify its rise and, in the process, further increase the big difference in history.
