The ball does not stop, beyond the voices that were heard from the Province of Buenos Aires. And even though the National Government is evaluating new restrictions to tighten the quarantine, football is not on their agenda.

The show must go on.

In political terms, to distract people. In the economic aspect, and this is the spring of the League and the AFA, because there are commercial commitments. In addition, Conmebol took a step forward to avoid health excuses: it

acquired 50,000 vaccines from the Chinese firm Sinopharm.

In that sense, there will be

95 games in 35 days

that will involve Argentine teams. Half of the clubs that make up the First Division championship participate in international tournaments. So, from tonight until May 30, the day the Professional League Cup final will be played, there will be a match every 3 days. As much as Miguel Russo complains, of course.

Boca's coach had been forceful after the victories against Atlético Tucumán and Huracán. “The teams that play Libertadores and Sudamericana cannot do it every 48 hours, it is a punishment. It is impossible, you have to put yourself in the place of those who can achieve an international achievement, Argentine football has to understand this ”, fired the veteran strategist. And he emphasized: “The tournaments have to have the logical and natural margins to compete.

The games have to be every 72 hours, I know we are in a pandemic and everything costs, but the players need to rest.

It costs a lot to travel, it is not something simple. The hours are increased with swabs, we have to wait an hour and a half, all that means living with Covid-19. We are human beings, it is an effort and a very high stress ”.

River will try to win its first match in the Cup. It drew with Fluminense and goes for more against Junior.

Russo was the only coach who put the cry to the sky with the run.

But inside the League he made himself heard.

How could it have been that Puerto Madero had just confirmed the schedule for the 12th date of the LPF Cup.

And the party that generated the most controversy was Boca-Lanús.

The

xeneize

squad

had planned to travel to Guayaquil on Sunday, where on Tuesday May 4 they will face Barcelona.

Its leaders asked to play on Saturday, but they found two negative positions: the unions that were not going to give up the Labor Day holiday and the garnets, which on Thursday will face Guild in the Fortress.

After several discussions and crossed WhatsApp messages, it was resolved that Boca-Lanús open fire at an unprecedented time:

10 in the morning!

Evolving Racing.

He tied with Rentistas, beat Colón and seeks to stay alive on all fronts.

There were a series of difficulties in putting together the scheme for the penultimate date of the qualifying round.

Not only because 50% of the teams that compete in the championship are affected by the international cups;

Also, by the DNU that prevents the AMBA (Metropolitan Area of ​​Buenos Aires) matches from starting after 18.

Jonathan Herrera takes the right hand that will become a goal for Independiente, who is doing well in the South American and the championship.

In addition, Fox Sports and TNT Sports only have one premium channel, so no more than two games can be broadcast in each time slot, which this weekend will be - apart from Boca-Lanús, which will start at 10 a.m. 12:10, 14:20, 16:30, 18:40 and 21.

Neither are more than two games allowed per day nor can it take place consecutively in CABA (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires).

Workshops, meanwhile, cannot play at night because the lights of the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium are in full swing.

For all these problems, Sunday will be like old times:

there will be 10 games.

Will the words of Daniel Gollán and Sergio Berni, Buenos Aires Ministers of Health and Safety, who ask for more restrictions, including football, influence the National Government, they ruled it out.

San Torrico.

With the goalkeeper affirmed under the posts of the Cyclone, after winning against River he will go to Rosario to face Central for the South American.

After all, the 13th date will remain to be played on the weekend of May 9 and then 8 teams will play the quarterfinals between 14 and 17. The semifinals will be on 22 and 23 and the final on 30.

Afterwards, the group stage of the cups will take place until the 27th. There will be 62 games that will star Boca, River, Racing, Vélez, Argentinos, Defensa y Justicia (Libertadores), Independiente, San Lorenzo, Lanús, Central, Newell's , Arsenal and Workshops (South American).

With protocols and bubbles they will travel the continent aboard a plane.

Because

football doesn't stop.
