The goalkeeper Gabriel Arias from Racing spoke about the difficult moment the team is going through in the Apertura Tournament 2025, emphasizing the importance of regaining intensity. "We need to work more, we need to get back that energy we had during several phases of the tournament," he stated after the 1-0 defeat against Huracán at the Presidente Perón stadium.
Arias highlighted the need to focus on improving both defense and attack in order to deliver a great performance next weekend. Given the streak of four consecutive defeats in the tournament, the classic match against Independiente presents a crucial opportunity to turn the situation around and regain confidence in the competition.
The goalkeeper stressed the importance of being self-critical and raising the team's intensity, as well as regaining their football identity. Although the team was not clearly outplayed, Arias acknowledged the need to return to basics to improve their performance.
Looking ahead to the match on Sunday at the Libertadores de América - Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium, Arias sent a message to the fans, highlighting their constant support. "We have to thank the people because they are always there; now we have to do our part and win," the goalkeeper expressed as a call to action for the team.
