the step of Edwin Cardona by Racing He has been marked more by discussions and criticism than by his football. Questioned about his physical condition and sometimes about his lack of dedication, the Colombian has been in the sights of his team’s fans for some time.
However, the Racing coach, Fernando Gago, gave him minutes again in a key game in the fight for the title in the Argentine League: this Monday he beat Atlético Tucumán, another of the candidates, and reached second place, with 44 points, one from Boca.
The result also ensured the classification of Racing to the Copa Libertadores in 2023.
The new controversy with Edwin Cardona in Racing
Despite this, Cardona, who entered in the 83rd minute, was once again the protagonist of a new controversy, which again generated the rejection of the Racing fans.
Shortly after entering the field, there was a free kick option for Racing, which was taken by the youthful Carlos Alcaraz. While his partner accommodated the ball, the Colombian midfielder approached to tell him that he was charging.
Alcaraz repeatedly refused, because he had been fouled and felt confident enough to shoot at the rival goal; but what he did not know was that Cardona had received instructions from coach Fernando Gago to take care of the free kick.
Thus, Edwin got in the way and took momentum to shoot, something that angered Alcaraz, who did not hide his annoyance and that is why the fans whistled at Cardona, who charged and left the ball in the hands of goalkeeper Carlos Lampe, from Atlético Tucumán.
It’s been a month since the last time Cardona started with Racing, against Estudiantes. He has played 23 games, but only in 9 did he appear among the 11 starters.
