There are only five days left until
San Lorenzo
visits
Huracán
, for the seventh date of the
Professional League Cup
and
Marcelo Moretti
, president of Ciclón, did not escape the controversy and got into the preview of the duel against Globo with a spicy phrase.
The largest neighborhood classic in the world will be in its 189th edition and the Ciclón can boast of a very important supremacy over the Globe with 87 victories, over 47 for Huracán.
In addition, they tied 53 times.
That is why the priority for Moretti is not this weekend's classic, but rather he gives more relevance to the clashes with Boca.
"It's a very important, neighborhood classic. For me, Boca is more important as a classic, but hey, we have to give it the importance of the case
," said the president of the Azulgrana team in an interview with ESPN.
The thing is, Cuervo is the only Argentine soccer club that can boast of a certain paternity over Xeneize: in general history, Boedo's team won 83 times, compared to Boca's 75.
"I'd rather beat Boca than Huracán," the Ciclón president redoubled his bet.
The "largest neighborhood classic in the world" is coming and Marcelo Moretti, president of Ciclón, was controversial: HE PREFERS TO BEAT BY BOCA BEFORE HURRICANE!

With these statements, Moretti got on the preview of the classics date, but he was not the only one in San Lorenzo.
Once the match with Tigre was over, the one who spoke was the scorer and Barça captain, Adam Bareiro, who in his post-match statements said "
We don't lose against those
."
It should be remembered that this is not the first time that Bareiro raises the temperature of the duel against Globo.
Last year, after scoring the tying goal, he made a controversial gesture, in the form of a celebration, which in Huracán he had not liked at all.
"The mustache is for a guy from Paraguay, I dedicate it to him," he had said at the time, although no one doubted that it had been a burden for Matías Cóccaro.
How the teams get to the classic
San Lorenzo will visit Huracán next Saturday for the seventh date of the Professional League Cup, starting at 7:30 p.m., at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó.
The cyclone arrives after achieving its first victory in the cup and at home, after three draws and two previous defeats.
Against Globo, the team led by Darío Insúa will seek to continue on the path to victory.
For its part, Huracán arrives with four defeats, one draw, one victory and with an interim coach, after the resignation of Facundo Sava after losing on the hour with Vélez 1-0.
Gastón Coyette, sports director of the youth teams, will take charge of the team this week, on an interim basis.
