An effective marketing operation
Racing de Murcia, the truth is that it did good that 'let them speak for you, for better or for worse but let them talk '. And it is that since his pairing with a Santander League team was known, the Murcian team has carried out a series of actions more focused on marketing than in reality. Not only with the ‘no’ Lescott's signing but also with the supposed interest in sign Samuel Eto’o, Rafa Marquez or Antonio Cassano. All of them veterans already retired years ago and with their glory days long past. Finally, Racing de Murcia will have to face this tie with their usual players.
