Independiente is an uncontrolled bonfire just before the classic against Racing

The very cold night of Avellaneda turned into a bonfire powered by impatience, despair, anger and fatigue. And the flames leave the Independiente red-hot before Sunday’s classic at the Cilindro. Another bad defeat, this time 1-3 against Platense at home, caused a torrent of insults to the Board of Directors, players who want to quarrel with the people and even isolated reproaches to a coach who until now had seen the passing of the darts the side. The court was a real cauldron of the Devil in which there were even clashes between the real fans and some fans for the choirs against President Hugo Moyano. A pressure cooker about to explode due to a structural crisis that has accumulated months without a solution and that can be worn for the only hope fans have clung to: Eduardo Dominguez.

The technical director made it clear at the press conference that he does not avoid the situation and that he puts his chest into it. His position of continuing to trust his abilities as a parent company and maintaining a willingness to reverse a gloomy view is commendable.. He clings to a coup against Racing, Domínguez. Bet everything on a curative victory for the Azzurri side of Avellaneda which acts as an impulse to get the team that touched some time ago out of the bottom.

“Sunday is a game that can mark us strongly … and must mark us strongly”, condemned the Devil’s DT. And that sign can be good or bad, depending on the outcome. A victory will restore his vital signs to try to deal with what comes with another spirit; a fall could implode a shattered institution.

But despite his desire to stay and turn history negatively today, Domínguez has gone through one complication after another that is eroding him in his position. His answers or, rather, the silences to questions about reinforcements in his latest presentations before the press reveals his great annoyance at the management’s broken promises about new faces.

The most recent headache occurred a couple of hours before receiving Platense, this Monday: the technician had an elaborate plan Geronimo Poblete Y Giovanni Cazares in the starting eleven, but had to change at the last minute because he didn’t know if he could count on them due to their contractual situation. Cazares has finally signed the renewal and went to the bank (he entered the complement), but Poblete has not yet done so and this Tuesday he has not even trained with the team (he has to transfer 125 thousand dollars to the Metalist of Ukraine).

“I see myself more outside than inside Independiente. Due to the mismanagement by the managers and my representatives, it has not been resolved”said the midfielder in TyC Sport.

When asked if he could count on the latest addition to the classic, Facundo Ferreyra Y edgar elizabethHe simply stated: “I can’t tell”. All a sample of his nonconformity. To make matters worse, he had already endured some insults from the audience behind his bench.

Although most of the advocates’ claims are for leaders, there are players listed as Sebastiano Sosa Y Giovanni Insaurralde (for his errors before the Board of Trustees). Y Leandro Benegas He reacted badly before entering the tunnel after the end of the match: he wanted to go and fight with the fans who insulted the footballers who hung from the acrylic. Subsequently, the attacker publicly apologized.

Meanwhile, in the stands, the atmosphere worsened because there were crossovers between the common fans, who were asking already the elections Y “everyone leaves”and the bars that they tried to silence the rumors. To all this, the Chamber of Avellaneda has not yet been issued and the elections that should have been held in December 2021 have not yet date in sight.

So is Independiente, which burns inside. Missing weekend after weekend. Waiting for a victory against Racing that could be a giant bucket of ice water to put out a fire that never stops growing.
