It was postulated Independently, big other that is not, after Opening made something important in this one. Or at least his technician believed that. Really, Tolo Gallego extracted breast after the last victory achieved before the most powerful Students at home … Pero Vélez was sick to him this Friday to the reality, which dictates that the Small fort is who is in charge in this championship, be desirable or not to the rest, for much that it is fighting in two fronts simultaneously, Liberators and local tournament … Undoubtedly, the team of the Tiger Gareca has everything for hace history in the latter semester of the period.

Galician was dreaming of the closed eyes when he was saying that the Red one was to gain the Closing ceremony. This technician of undoubted success, ex-midfielder born in Newell’s and cooked with victories in River, has the anecdotal note to have gone out champion in his first experiences even with four teams. In Núñez 94 gained the Opening, in Independent the Opening 02, in the Leprosy the Opening 04 and in Sports Toluca, Mexico, the Opening 05 … Yes, Galician, which never played for Independent, did idol of the Double Visor to himself, for champion did to those of Avellaneda, one year later that campeonara Racing, curiously of the hand of Reinaldo Merlo, the man with whom Galician had to compete at the beginning of the eighties for being a holder in River …

But all that is already a history. The reality is that that Independent champion had real wickers, men who were crossing his best moment of game, a splendid generation with Cuqui Silvera like killer, Rolfi Montenegro, Mexican-American Insua and Lucas Pusineri in the way, Diego Milito behind … we Are speaking about an authentic crack team, nothing to see with what there is today. Independent, since it happens with the rest of big Argentinians, there is in a process of real popularization.

It is enough to Avellaneda to come and to verify how the universe of the Red one beats. The field has reformed, seemingly it is a modern stadium, but it still remains great for doing. His attached facilities fall down, literally they fall down. The center of formation given to the court, as well as the small pavilion, they have remained caught in the time. If in Buenos Aires there are already suffered the consequences of the severe economic situation of the country for a decade, much more to another side of the Creek. Independent he suffers, despite the modern air that contributes his stadium, and not at all between the mediocrity trying not to suffocate.

And this is not to speak for speaking. For sample, a button: the scorer of this team is Cuqui Silvera, the same one than in 2002, only that now is 32 years old. The Cuqui keeps on marking, de facto ride four in the tournament, but nothing to see with what was at the beginning of the decade. In the last years the Red one has not done any more that the Rolfi to get rid of his best men, even of his big symbol, Montenegro, the man who more has embittered in the last years Racing in the Avellaneda outstanding figures.

In this campaign interesting signings were done in the midfield, like Acevedo and, especially, Ignacio Piatti, who despite being from La Plata, has not anything in common with the one that plays in the Almeria, since in fact it comes from Gymnastics. Ignacio is a skillful one and very technical midfielder offensive, but unable to load with the whole weight of the team. The true thing is that Independent it has a good team, as not to suffer and even to fight for the access to the glasses, because it has weapon and plays nicely, with good offensive disposition … But nothing more, it does not have aptitude to aspire to the title, however much Galician is excited.

The Red one remained ridiculed this Friday before Vélez, which danced it in to the second part, going out with an infested team of substitute. They did not play of the game Domínguez, Otamendi, Emiliano Papa, Morález, neither the Tank Miscellany nor Hernán López … And little mattered, because Vélez is always the same, 4-3-1-2, with this harnessing that every time is less difficult to shine, without importing the names, because the machine works alone, foreign for the individuals. Yes, with not habitual Vélez it liquidated exceeded the Red one, with the help, of course, of Maxi Morález from the bank in the second act, which marked the same, of penalty, and it keeps on being confirmed like one of the best players of the championship, despite his 161 centimeters.

It is the contrast between a big one and another team that despite it is not considered by the history, yes shows, as Students, a big regularity in the last decades. Independent is the Galician sleep, only that, while Vélez is the spirited Gareca reality, that brave attacker who of child was dreaming of going out champion with those of Liniers. It has achieved it so much like soccer player as technician. But it can still do much more.
