The tender video in which Gustavo Costas passes on his passion for racing to his child

In these days, Gustavo Costas is one of the happiest men on earth. The fact is that this man has just given himself one of the pleasures of his life with his first victory in the Avellaneda classic against Independiente as Racing coach: “Yes, it is one of the best moments of my life”, he recognized in the corridors of the Liberators of America.

“It’s a dream because they are classics and classics are won. Winning here, on their field, with all their people is very nice. And the truth is that we were just winners. We made five million people happy,” he described the coach After.

Gustavo Costas has been a racing enthusiast since the cradle. And he leads a life alongside the Academy. He was the mascot of José’s team and a fundamental piece in Basile’s team that won the Super Cup in 1988. A tradition that his children, all Academy fans, could not escape: Giulianna, 13 years old, together with Gonzalo (27 ) and Federico (32) who are part of his technical staff.

“The only thing a man cannot change is passion,” says Guillermo Francella in Secreto de sus ojos, as if talking about Gustavo Costas and his children. Costitas became a father again two years ago, in one of his last steps abroad. And his child couldn’t get rid of his “his illness”.

In the last few hours, after the Academy’s victory in the classic against Rojo, a video of the Academy coach with his last son singing the songs of the Racing fans went viral.

“The result doesn’t count here, I follow you everywhere”, sings the coach to his little son Costas, who over the last twenty years has become a globetrotter and has brought his passion for racing to every part of the planet where he has found it. he had to direct. So much so that this video resurfaces due to the madness it unleashes among fans after winning a classic. However, the recording dates back to the times when he was responsible for the technical direction of Bolivia and was thinking of qualifying the neighboring country for the 2026 USA/Mexico/Canada World Cup.

“I honestly didn’t expect them to call me from Racing,” Costas confessed upon returning to Argentina. That’s why he proved to be a fan, singing the songs of the club he loves and showing his unconditional passion for him. The same thing he did last Saturday, when he shouted Maravilla Martínez’s goal like a madman and then celebrated his team’s victory like another fan.

“It’s one of the best moments of my life,” acknowledges Costas, who doesn’t hide his joy at being back in the club of his loves. “Everything I do and have done in racing, I do with my heart,” he told Clarín a couple of weeks ago. This is how he passes it on to everyone he meets. And their children, of course.
