Atlético Tucumán: the most regular in an irregular league

An injustice is done Atletico Tucumán stating that the current one is one of the most irregular tournaments in history. And is that, if we analyze the first 20 days, we will conclude that the cast is in charge Luca Pussini culminated in 12 dates as a leader, alone (9 times) or accompanied by one or more teams (3).

Irregular walking is one of the so-called greats, that’s why the phrase. Only Racing and Boca were once pointers: at the end of the first day, with three units together with Talleres, Argentinos, Newell’s, Platense and Tigre. The second cast that has made it to the top multiple times is Newell’s, with 7. Then, with 3, Argentinos, Platense and Gimnasia appear.

The start of the Professional League gave surprises: Platense was the only one to win the first two games. The surprising fact is that he couldn’t win at the next round. It was at that moment when Newell added several wins in a row which is why he was placed at the top from date 3 to 8day in which Atlético Tucumán joined to go down only in 19, when Gimnasia was left alone after the victory against Arsenal.

If speaking series, the Dean Tucuman also stands out from the others with 6 wins in a row (Vélez, Gimnasia, Aldosivi, Sarmiento, Independiente, Newell’s; from 6 to 11; he scored 8 goals without receiving any). Then follows the Boca with 5 consecutive joys and with one less the Argentines appear. There are several who have achieved 3 victories in a row: Huracán, Unión, Gimnasia, Newell’s, Godoy Cruz and Independiente.

The greats have never quite managed to catch on, even if they haven’t even got off. Boca had the 5-game winning streak and entered the fight fully. The victory in the classic against River was an important emotional blow, beyond the fact that in the football field those led by Ibarra have never shone.

The river is perhaps the most irregular of all. He started the tournament with his head on the Copa Libertadores and it was difficult for him to get out of the blow that Vélez gave him by eliminating him in the round of 16.

Racing He should have added more points given his rich squad and that he didn’t play another competition in the second half of the semester.

Meanwhile, Independiente and San Lorenzo thought more about getting out of the crisis than about the title.

Then the less famous teams broke in, with Atlético Tucumán and Gimnasia as the best exponents. The hurricane comes in from behindwhile Godoy Cruz and Argentinos appear to have fallen far behind.

What remains is the table

There are still several days left and many of the candidates will clash with each other. The Boca will go to the Bosque de La Plata on the 23rd and the Atlético Tucumán will visit the Cilindro on the 24. In the last, Racing-River collide. Yes, the feeling is that everything has yet to happen.
