Two “boys”, in a big way. Velez and Students from La Plata will play the final of League Cup this Sunday in Santiago of the Estero. From Córdoba, Víctor Hugo Sotomayor, multiple champion with the Liniers team; and Carlos “Chiquito” Bossio, goalkeeper of a memorable promotion in the ’90s; They throbbed what will be the duel for the title.
“As on the hippodrome, The horse that comes from behind arrives silently and can win. It seemed that Talleres or Independent entered, and Vélez entered quietly. From fighting for relegation last year to this final”Sotomayor said. “Students was one of the candidates, because it was put together well, a technician who works and is being recognized in terms of campaignsa batch of five or six teams that could arrive. And Vélez entered through the window over other possible candidates,” observed Chiquito Bossio, both in dialogue with Third Time on Radio Sucesos.
Sotomayor, former central marker, was part of Vélez, champion of everything in the 90s, and is excited for this Sunday at the Madre de Ciudades. “It is a group that was put together in the face of adversity, the five goals that River scored, the judicial problem of four of its players… And you can see the hand of a leader, in this case the coach Gustavo Quinteros, who is a trainer and arrived at a good time. He is very calm and reaches the player,” he highlighted. Already installed in Santiago, along with many of his former colleagues, also invited at the end.
“Those who play better or prettier do not always reach the final. Argentines played beautifully and fell by the wayside”, observed Chiquito Bossio. As a former goalkeeper, he gave his opinion on the present of Matías Mansilla, hero in the penalty shootout against Boca: “He has the difficult task of replacing Mariano Andújar, nothing less, and it has to be done with personality because They are going to compare it. He must make his way, and people are supporting it.”
He also spoke of Eduardo Domínguez, Pincha’s coach: “He did well in Colón, in Huracán… on the personal side, you can see his good group management. AND His father-in-law (Carlos Bianchi), who knows a lot about this, must leave him some lessons. And he just plays the final with Vélez…”.
For her part, Sotomayor stated: If you had preferred to play against Boca? Obviously, if Boca arrived, it would be the favorite, due to the hierarchy of its squad, and because of the performance it achieved, beyond his defeat on Tuesday in Córdoba. Against Estudiantes, it seems to me that Vélez is more within reach Victory».
THE RESULTS THAT RISK FOR THE FINAL
Victor Hugo Sotomayor was blunt: “Vélez will win 2 to 1”, and he was excited to witness a good game in Santiago. While Carlos Bossio pointed out: “More than a hunch is the desire for Estudiantes to do well, for the friendly people I left there, for the love for the club. And I hope it is with a good show.”
