To this end they do not arrive by chance. They have been dreaming about it for a while. More precisely since December 2023, when Rosario Central snatched the League Cup in Santiago del Estero. Platense could not win it, but it didn't break. He got up. And he did it with several who were there. They know what a final is playing. And that now they go for revenge.
There are five survivors. Some as protagonists. Others from the bank. But everyone wants history to have a different end of which he had two years ago, when the squid turned from Santiago with the silver medal. That is not little.
Of the most remembered, for its evolution, is Leonel Picco. In 2023 he went to the bank and entered a few minutes. Today, no one would be encouraged to imagine a finalist squid without him. He is the owner of the middle of the court. Recover and order the team. He plays in Tandem with Rodrigo Herrera and between the two arm a war zone.
Ronaldo Martínez also was in the last final. But I played differently. Palermo used it more loose, secondly. Now is 9. The one that carries the centrals. The one that puts diagonals. The one that gets dirty in the area. He made two goals in the opening, but its importance shows even if it does not convert. Run, press and play for the team.
Raúl Lozano started two years ago. And he gave up. But in 2024 he suffered a rupture of ligaments that left him for a long time. This tournament reappeared, but only added minutes to Riesra. It is no longer the undisputed side of before and by injury will not be in the game against Hurricane. Juan Pablo Pignani, central defender of the club, was also on that squad. He did not play the final and now has a more secondary role. But the boy emerged from the club is waiting for his chance. And to defend colors as a child.
The same captain, who dreams of a different story
The one that brings together them, the one who carries more weight than anyone, is Ignacio Vázquez. The Captain. The central that was the holder in the 2023 final and that since then did not release the leadership. You don't see so much doors outside, but inside the court. The squad revolves around him. He listens to him and let his leader do his job as a captain.
Nacho Vázquez has become key to squid. It is the referent of the squad, the different. The one who everyone listens to. In 2023 he kept the thorn of not being able to return with the Cup to Vicente López. But now he is the captain of the Platense who eliminated three of the five greats. Of visitor And it reaches the final with more desire than ever to keep the cup and make history. Of the big one. He was in Santiago del Estero. He suffered it. And now, come back. But this time, with a fixed idea: that the story has another end.
Thus, some of the protagonists – or not so much – of the 2023 final want to be the ones who raise the opening. A part of the story is already written. Now the last chapter is missing.
