A tournament that is defined, a city that is paralyzed. The wait is over. It doesn't matter how they arrive, or how the last confrontation turned out.

By a draw, it was determined to be in Sanjustino, starting at with the participation of Cristian Cachi Retamar in the Narrations and Juan Carlos Haberkorn in the comments from 8pm, and with about 600 visitors.

In every corner of the city, the classic is breathed.

The desire of the Tucuman Marcelo Molina

"This is a very football city, where rivalry is lived and much. The fair thing was to stick to the regulations, which was that it should be played on a neutral field. But well, now the League determined that Sanjustino be the local, and the match will be faced as it should. Many classics have been played, but this is the first time a tournament is defined," expressed Martín Molina.

The Matador's coach stated that "there is a great rivalry, it is a town rivalry, they are two teams with a lot of history, where they are distributed. It is lived a lot, living day by day, it is rivalry in all sports. It is a very beautiful city, with two strong institutions, which are faced with the possibility of facing this final".

"I hope it can be a party" was the clear message from the coach of the team that will be local. "We in the last six or seven dates were behind Guadalupe, which was a very regular team throughout the championship, just like Colón de San Justo. They were two very good teams, who were fighting the tournament inch by inch" highlighted the guide of the green and white squad.

The coach from Tucumán added that "we were able to win the classic, where we shortened the distance and in the next date we also beat the leader". He highlighted that "in the final part of the tournament we were very regular, and thank God we were able to reach the top in the penultimate date and now to play the final.

The experience of the Conqueror's coach

For his part, Miguel Restelli, opined that "Whenever a classic is played it is very nice to be and live it. One is grateful to life to be able to enjoy this party. It's going to be something that will be remembered for a long time. For what it means to play for a title, and especially against the classic rival".

The coach of Colón de San Justo indicated that "These championships are made so that these types of definitions can occur more often. They are two very strong teams from the Santafesina League. That they are always fighting the top. Last year we had to face in the quarterfinals, and the day that it is not in that instance, it will be in a similar one like this".

"Sanjustino is a great team, it has a very good structure. It has scored many goals, and has been scored very few. It is a very strong rival, and comes from winning the last ten games. So, there is not much to think about that it is a group that is very well balanced. And emotionally they are in a very good state and a very strong push. It's going to be a final as the Santafesina League deserves" the coach from the town of Emilia, in the north of the La Capital department, pointed out.

The former coach of Colón de Santa Fe and Villa San Carlos was clear in highlighting that "it is a football match. With a lot of passion and rivalry. nothing more. The euphoria in the League has grown a lot and that is the merit of the journalism that has given it a lot of coverage. Now it is a pity if we go overboard, especially in a city like San Justo where we all know each other, and the day after we are all together on the same sidewalk".
