Why did Ibarra meet the Boca players and how is the situation at the DT?

Hugh Ibarra He arrived at training at Ezeiza, chatted with his players for 10 minutes and started his training routine. He had planned to rest the team, but after the defeat against the Institute he preferred to meet his managers. I wanted to look like them. The Football Council was present, chaired by Juan Román Riquelme. Sign of support or a way to mark the field? The question everyone is asking at Boca, however, is another. What will become of the coach’s future?

For now, Ibarra will continue in office. And no one wants to open their mouths. At least publicly. “If we say it’s stopped, it seems like there’s something wrong. And that’s not the message we want to give”they said clarion by management. The truth is that the two defeats and the boos at the Bombonera made noise, not just literally. Also, indoors.

Román was annoyed by the reproaches from the audiencewhich mostly occurred when they came out pol Fernández and Sebastian Villa. Ibarra also felt it firsthand. That’s why yesterday he spoke to the players and used the same words as in the press conference, he believes that Boca hasn’t been up to par.

Now, in Boca we don’t think about the immediate exit of the Black. The complaint goes through the disallowed goal to Darío Benedetto and the penalty that Jorge Baliño didn’t take in the last play of the match against the Instituto. “Nobody talks about it.”they mutter in the Ezeiza sports center, the base of the Council, and in Brandsen 805, where the leaders converge.

Privately, both acknowledge that Boca play “bad”but warn that something is happening that did not happen before: no results are obtained. However, the concern is beyond the duel with the Bahians, a Federal A team that arrives in harmony after beating Sol de Mayo de Viedma 5-0. The worrying date is April 5, when the Copa Libertadores de América will begin, the obsession that the club has been pursuing for 16 years.

In the end, everything will depend on the match against Olimpo on Saturday in Chaco for the Copa Argentina. “We will see day by day”, they slip close to the Council. There is a non minor fact: Román will be in Spain on Saturday, invited by Villarreal, which will celebrate its centenary. Faced with another bad result, is it possible to think of an exit for Ibarra with the vice president-idol abroad? Sebastián Battaglia was fired by Jorge Bermúdez and Marcelo Delgado at a gas station. Anything could happen.
