There was... There were changes in that, also there will be another one. Copa Ciudad de Cordoba 25/1 - Talleres Cba. vs. Vélez Sarsfield - Cordoba. 29/1 - Lanús vs. Vélez Sarsfield - Cordoba. 1/2 - Talleres Cba. vs. Vélez Sarsfield - Cordoba. All the matches will be played at La Boutique. Torneo Internacional de Santa Fe It'll be played in the same format of Tandil's, all the matches will be played at Colón's stadium, the matches will be the 23th and the 25th, the teams are confirmed but not the initial clashes. The teams taking part will be: -Colón Sta. Fe -Defensor Sporting(Uruguay) -Libertad(Paraguay) -Universidad San Martín(Peru)
Yeah, sadly, the chairman has always avoided to clash against the gaiiinas in friendlies. He says it's not good facing your main rivals because a bad result may heathen things up both internally and externally. Personally, I think it's bullshit. I always like to face them.
I guess from a practical standpoint he is right. If you are in preseason mode, trying to prepare the team for the upcoming season, the last thing you want is a war. But, with that attitude you are depriving the fans of what they want to see. And I think football should be first of all about the fans.
