The harsh confession of Enzo Copetti and his wife, Araceli: “The night before the classic with Independiente I cried and thought I would leave everything”

Win, like and thrash. The popular Triple G was watched last night at Avellaneda and Racing fans enjoyed a real party at Cilindro. The Academy crushed Aldosivi 5-0 and advanced to the semifinals of the League Cup, where Boca will face off next Saturday at Lanús stadium.

Gago’s team was the only one to finish the Regular Phase of the tournament undefeated and lost only 1 in 20 PCs in the yearfor the Copa Sudamericana against Melgar, in which he will hold hands to determine the pass in the round of 16.

The arrival of pinta he changed the face of a club that seemed astray. After the departure of Chacho Coudet, champion of the 2018/19 Super League, Racing entered a footballing plateau. In the middle, Diego Milito’s resignation as Technical Secretary due to conflicts with Víctor Blanco when Beccacece was the coach, after Pizzi’s irregular cycle that included two lost finals (the Argentine Super Cup 0-5 with River he inherited to Chacho and the determination against the last League Cup, against Colón) and a short -term interim of Úbeda.

And one of those swept away by the wave of criticism is Enzo Copetti. Worse, obviously angry at the situation, the striker assured in an interview that he was not too interested in continuing the Race and the situation was the last straw to ruin the patience of those who did not see answers from the team during the pitch. It was a tacit divorce between the striker and the fans. And, since then, whenever Voice of the Stadium announces the presence of 9, whistles cover the speakers of Presidente Perón Stadium.

But Copetti came back from the situation, through sacrifice and purpose. And last night, after Racing’s 5-0 win over Aldosivi in ​​the League Cup quarterfinals, Enzo scored a brace and was applauded throughout the stadium.

After the Match, former Atlético Rafaela and his wife Araceli Bonino chatted with journalist Ariel Schvartzbard, from Tyc Sports, and they couldn’t hide their happiness.

“It’s unbelievable to see him applauded. Many times he wanted to throw in the towel. Recently he wanted to leave everything. Before the game at Independiente, one night, he was crying because he wanted to stop playing“, Araceli Bonino surprised the Cylinder with Schvartzbard.

And, Enzo’s partner seems important once the Academy striker is alive and convinced him to move on: “You have to play Independiente, score a goal and then you start“, He said he told his wife in those privacy conversations. And that’s right. As his wife expected, Copetti Not only he scored against Rojo as he did in the quarterfinals of the last League Cupbut his goal was victory when the game was dying.

Moments later, in the locker room, the player himself confirmed what his wife had said to the TyC cameras: “That’s 100% true. The player suffers a lot of criticism and, although sometimes others don’t see it, feel we do it too much, because we are human beings and it is not good that they tell you ugly things. And talking about it with my wife, who is the one who listens to me, we made the decision to continue a little more and luckily everything happened.

From the hand of a coach who knew how to promote him, Copetti was able to turn the whistles for applause. Throughout 2021 he converted 11 goals to 50 PJ, while, since Gago arrived, he has scored 10 goals in 18 games.
