The Argentine will play his first classic in charge of Cruzeiro against Atlético-MG and still has some obstacles for Saturday’s match
After just three rounds of the Campeonato Mineiro, coach Nicolás Larcamón already has his first big challenge in charge of Cruzeiro. The Argentine coach will play the first classic against Atlético-MG, next Saturday, at 7.30 pm, in the state competition. In addition to the match, the commander will also see the Galo fans fill the entire stadium as per the agreement stipulated by the clubs last Monday.
Despite his short stay in Brazil, the coach already knows very well what the classic between Galo and Raposa represents. Larcamón has accumulated experience outside Argentina, his country, which can facilitate this process.
– I have full understanding of what the game represents for the fans and for the club. In this calendar it was very fast, it was already the third match. This type of game is hotter and more decisive. But this is the calendar and we have to face it – she highlighted.
Despite being Argentinian, the coach has never worked for a team from his country. In Mexican football for five seasons, he also managed teams in Chile and Venezuela. That said, he is already used to dealing with rapidly changing environments and fan pressure in classics like these.
The commander, however, will have to be very firm in his decisions during the race. This is because 14 athletes from the celestial team have never competed in a professional classic. Goalkeepers Anderson and Léo Aragão, surpass full-back Palacios, defenders Zé Ivaldo, João Marcelo and Ruan Santos, midfielders Fernando Henrique and Henrique Rodrigues, midfielder Vitinho and forwards Dinenno, Robert, João Pedro, Fernando and Gabriel Veron.
Absences
In addition to the match itself, Larcamon will also have to “break his head”, as the team will have at least eight absences. Defender Neris, right back Wesley Gasolina, left back Kaiki, midfielder Ramiro and forwards Rafael Bilu, Wesley, Gabriel Veron and Rafael Elias will not play against Atlético.
Injured since last year, midfielder Ramiro (torn ligaments in his right knee) and forwards Rafael Bilu (ruptured Achilles tendon) and Wesley (left shoulder surgery) still have no intention of returning to the field.
