Ibarra’s doubts in Boca for the Super Cup with the Governing Council: change of scheme and strikers?

The beautiful victory against Vélez at Liniers set the start of the professional league on track for Boca. But before receiving Defensa y Justicia at La Bombonera, he has before him the first major goal of this 2023: this Wednesday at 21:15, stay with the Argentine Super Cup, before the Board of Trustees, in Santiago del Estero. And it is on this that Hugo Ibarra focuses, who schematized the first tests and left some clues on how the eleven could be to face those of Paraná.

With many of the usual starters working out in the gym, the DT tested a team that had a tactical modification. Perhaps the most important point about the names he chose to include. It’s that the system he chose was a 4-3-3, different from the one he’s been testing in recent weeks.

in the team there were Frank Fabra on the left side (Sández regulates the charges because he has pain in his right knee, despite being a starter in the last two games) e Alan Varella as a central midfielder, although it is under consideration whether Ezequiel Fernández will not start again. Now with the return of Bruno Valdez to central defense (he will come from Roncaglia) the biggest doubts are in attack.

WhatHe will leave out Luca LangoniWho, besides scoring two goals, is decisive in attack? Will there be room for Villa to come in and play with two wingers again? In Ibarra’s idea, the Colombian can unbalance himself to be the protagonist in front of the scoreboard. And that’s why it can be there from the beginning, but without doing without the footballer who came out of the Inferiore. That’s why the tactical design change.

also appeared Darius Benedict (He had no minutes against Vélez because his entry was scheduled but Fernández’s expulsion interrupted the plans) and whether or not he will enter as owner will also depend on Ibarra’s proposal. In principle I would only play with a striker and the striker is the coach. And what’s more, he didn’t lose his position due to poor performance or injury but due to a disqualification, which is why Ibarra tries to respect his place. Of course: Merentiel has accumulated merits not only for having more minutes but for warning Pipa that he cannot relax at his level so as not to lose his place in the starting eleven.

The whole squad will travel to Santiago del Estero (except Exequiel Zeballos, who has just had surgery) and in the hours before the match Ibarra will confirm the eleven that he will be looking for another Olympic round at the local level. With one detail: in the event of a draw in the 90 minutes, the game will go into extra time. And this is why Ibarra also intends to keep some spare parts on the reserve bench, in case it is necessary that they can change the course of the match from the outside.
