With a firm step. This is how Racing walks through LaLiga Hypermotion. The Verdiblancos, who beat Burgos CF in the Campos (2-0) with more than 21,000 spectators in the stands, have gone eight consecutive days without losing -nine with the Cup match- and have surpassed the first third of the 2024/25 championship. leaders with 36 points in their locker. The goals of Sangalli and Javi Montero in the first period, as well as the solidarity and commitment shown on the field of play by the Green and Whites who played 50 minutes with 10, were key in the victory of the Cantabrians, who are determined to make history. At the moment, they have already written their name in the silver category with two pieces of information: no one had managed to get their number of points in 15 games nor had they made a better start. Full of victories. Seven out of seven. And the eighth could come against Málaga CF at La Rosaleda next Saturday, November 23, at 9:00 p.m.
The presence of Manu Hernando in the center of the defense along with Javi Montero was the only novelty of the 11 presented by José Alberto, who could not count on the injured Mantilla, Pol Moreno, Íñigo and Arana, nor with the internationals Suleiman and Jeremy, called up with the Gambia and Ecuador U-20 teams respectively. And just like what happened last weekend in Ferrol, the event turned very quickly for the green and white team. The first quarter of an hour had not elapsed when Unai Vencedor assisted Vicente on the left, who after controlling and driving the ball towards the area gave a slingshot pass to Sangalli, who, incorporated into the attack, connected with a first-time right foot that became at 1-0. ‘An illusion haunts us’ sang the entire stadium…
And to achieve it, back in the month of May or June, you have to add and add every weekend. The culture of daily work praised by the racinguista coach in the previous one translated into his team’s second goal. Strategy play. Vicente executed a foul on the left at the penalty spot so that Javi Montero, with his head and after an impressive jump, finished off the ball into the Burgos goal. 2-0. Same assistant, different scorer. The defenders of this team not only contribute from behind. Compact and supportive block. A family, the racinguista, made up of 11 on the field, more than 20,000 in the stands and another hundreds of thousands watching the radio, television, tablet or mobile phone.
WITH 10
At half-time Javi Castro replaced Pablo Rodríguez to adjust lines, since in the 40th minute Manu Hernando had been sent off. In the second period, therefore, Racing was going to play with one man less. Burgos CF wanted to sell their defeat dearly and in the 52nd minute forced Ezkieta to fly from right to left of his goal to clear a header from Atienza that was about to reduce the gap on the scoreboard. In the 65th minute, the Navarrese goalkeeper was once again providential with a dive to repel a well-placed shot from the edge of the area.
In ’66 José Alberto brought in Michelin, Carrascal and Maguette. Refreshment men to compensate for the extra effort made in inferiority. Four defenders and three pivots to counteract the attack of the Castilians, who had the support of a thousand fans in El Sardinero. Subsequently, Karrikaburu, who retired cheered by the stands, gave way to Ekain at the top and the Basque almost achieved Racing’s third by putting pressure on Cantero. He narrowly missed out. Awesome. Great atmosphere in the Fields and choral celebration on the field and in the stands.
MAXIMUM REQUIREMENT
Jose Albertosatisfied with the victory, said that “the season is going well, but last year has to be present, since we all celebrate in advance. Therefore, maximum requirement, feet on the ground and tranquility. Things are going well, but we must be aware that a world is missing and we have achieved nothing. Let the fans celebrate, they deserve it.” The technician, finally, positively valued the points record achieved in 15 games and away victories, but said that “we have to go to Malaga to win, we have to continue improving.”
