Hurricane again crossed the Central road and ruined the party. The scoundrel came with everything: confidence to the stick, numbers that left him as a firm candidate and an undefeated who made him dream. But Kudelka's team appeared and the blind was lowered.
It was a very hard blow, because Central was packed. He did not lose since the end of February -nine games has -when he fell with Boca, and had become one of the strongest teams in the tournament. At after Broun-Werner wore an impressive streak: 620 minutes with the arch at zeroand if you add the minutes before Mazzantti's goal, they reached 641. They were one step away from breaking a historical record of the club -the face with 654 minutes without receiving goals -but they stayed at the door.
“What was done in the tournament gave us the possibility of defining at home, which was an advantage that we considered it important …”Holan mentioned after the game. And he was right. The Arroyito giant had been a strength throughout the first part of the year. But this time, the one who enlarged in that stadium was a hurricane. And central, who dreamed big, woke up suddenly.
The streak in the Rosario Central giant was a serious thing
The Holan team had turned its stadium into a fortress almost impossible to violate. Since last year, no one had been able to take a point in Rosario. Central was coming at home: he had won eight games in line, In front of Lanús, Atlético Tucumán, Sarmiento, Gymnastics, Vélez, Institute, Independent and Students. And if last year's closure is added against Belgrano, the Trepa account to nine consecutive victories. All those who passed through the giant, went empty.
The last time the Canalla had lost at home had been on November 30, against Racing. Since then, unbeatable. But this Sunday, Hurricane arrived with a sharp sights, broke the streak, ruined the party and took the ticket to the semifinals. The balloon turned off the light to the giant.
Hurricane's supremacy in the hand in hand in front of Central
With this last victory, there are already four direct crosses between the two … and the globe stayed with three. The first duel was there for 1970, in the 16vos of the Argentine Cup, where Central took the 4 to 2 victory but since then, everything was a hurricane.
The most remembered, without a doubt, is the final of the 2014 Argentine Cupwhere the Patricios Park were enshrined in champions. But there is also that repechage for the 1974 Copa Libertadoreswhere on the Vélez court, the globe beat 4 to 0.
Now, with this new blow, the history in the eliminatory crosses is clearly leaning for Hurricane. And yes … it seems that the balloon is becoming a true nightmare for central.
Ariel Holan's post
Ariel Holan shared a personal reflection on his Instagram account after the defeat against Hurricane: “As a closure of the first sports semester of the year, I wanted to take advantage of all those who in one way or another contributed from their workplace for the growth of the equipment.
Particularly, I want to thank the squad for the effort he made, which earned him to be the team that added the most points in the qualifying stage of the tournament. Also to the coaching staff, doctor, props, and each of those who work in different areas of the club, which contributed their grain of sand to support our task. And President Gonzalo Belloso, reference of the Board of Directors. And of course a special thanks to the Canalla people, who gave us their unconditional support from the first game, becoming a key pillar of this campaign we did in a local condition.
Unfortunately we did not get what we all wanted, which was to reach the top. Sadness is very large, there are no warriors without wounds …… We have a solid base that allows us to believe that we can fight equally against any rival. And that is fundamental, in the face of what is coming, to support the dream that we all pursue. ”
