The
date of the classics
is just around the corner and the teams are already beginning to compete against their eternal rivals.
And those who were in charge of warming up the preview as much as possible were none other than Marcelo Moretti
and
David Garzón
themselves
, presidents of
San Lorenzo
and
Huracán
, respectively.
On Saturday starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Adolfo Ducó it will be the moment where both clubs spark each other in the 189th edition of the largest neighborhood classic in the world.
However, in the countdown, Moretti sought to take a certain advantage by lowering the price of the match and compared Globo to 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 in dialogue with ESPN, awakening annoyance in Parque Patricios.
"
I'd rather beat Boca than Huracán
," Moretti added to add to the heat of the previous one.
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!

It didn't take long for the shots to reach Huracán's headquarters.
That is why Garzón himself sought to double down and did not mince his words to ignore San Lorenzo.
"
If we talk about a neighborhood classic, I see it as more classic from Riestra than from Boca, without a doubt
," he said on ESPN, joking about the proximity that exists between the stadiums of both clubs, separated by a few meters in the Bajo Flores neighborhood. .
Continuing with Moretti's statements, Garzón made it clear that he has no doubts about the order of rivalries that marks the history of Huracán.
"
Our classic is San Lorenzo, that is out of the question
. It seems to me that it is more of a chicane than anything else. Everyone knows the classics, they are historical," he expressed.
#Hurricane David Garzon responds to the President of San Lorenzo, who tried, as every time they could, to minimize the match in the previous week and then experience it as a final.

Likewise, on behalf of Globo the response did not come only from the lips of its president, but his first vice-president
Gustavo Mendelovich
also picked up the gauntlet and warned: "As a football man I prefer to keep quiet and wait for the game. I am not interested in arguing, there are "I have to maintain a little respect.
I understand chicana and folklore but I prefer to talk after the game, before we are all phenomena
."
Likewise, Moretti was not the only one from San Lorenzo who joined the crossfire between clubs, but the Raven captain
Adam Bareiro
, who has already become a specialist in making the thermal jump in each classic, declared: "
No we lose against those
"
And as for the president's phrase, in dialogue with Tyc Sports, he agreed: "All the games we have are very important, but
I also think that playing against Boca is more beautiful than against Huracán
, but we must go out and play with the responsibility that he deserves."

Unless a new protagonist decides to get fully involved in this round trip, the next step will be in Parque Patricios to define the winner of this duel that began off the field several days in advance.
How the teams get to the classic
El Ciclón arrives after achieving its first victory in the League 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 of 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.
Although the Globe is excited about hiring
Ariel Holan
as a successor, the signs indicate that
Gastón Coyette
, sports director of the youth teams, will take charge of the team this week on an interim basis.
