Independiente, convulsed by its sporting, institutional and economic problems, will assume today with a new DT the Avellaneda classic with Racing Club, which has two consecutive defeats, in the exclusive game of the five scheduled for the twelfth date of the Professional Soccer League ( LPF).
The classic, which will mark the debut of Ricardo “Ruso” Zielinski in the “Red”, will be played from 4:30 p.m. at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini Stadium, with the refereeing of Yael Falcón Pérez and television from ESPN and TNT Sports.
It will be a classic full of tensions, due to the atypical situation that Independiente experienced throughout the previous week, no less than with the resignation of President Fabián Doman and the refusal to accept the position of DT of the Uruguayan Pablo Repetto, as a result of the debacle institutional.
On the other side of Avellaneda is Racing, which debuted with Fernando Gago with a victory in the Libertadores, but which is far from the level that led it to be third in quality behind River and Boca, adding two consecutive defeats.
In the history, between amateurism and professionalism, Independiente exercises a clear supremacy of 84 wins against 62 for “La Academia” and 67 draws, in 213 matches.
