Gustavo Alfaro: How he sees Boca’s future in the Libertadores and how Carlos Tevez’s criticism has fallen on him

Gustavo Alfaro, who managed Boca in 2019, returned to Argentina following his successful tenure as Technical Director of Ecuador and was encouraged to speak out about the delicate situation Xeneize is going through, who cannot find a style of play that identifies him, and as if that weren’t enough, in recent days his DT, Hugo Ibarra, has been fired.

Now, the former Tricolore coach, free after leading the World Cup in Qatar 2022, was asked what chances his former team has in the Cup and his answer showed optimism for the future: “Boca have a strong squad and dynamic is tremendous. You see the different teams starting to play against the Libertadores and it seems to me like this quietly has the opportunity to dream with the Cup because they have an excellent squad”.

He has his story, his shirt and they will find a suitable person to take on this challenge and I have no doubts that they will fight” continued the DT.

The man who went through the Xeneize bank is confident the leaders will find “a suitable person” to fill the position. And he compared this situation to the moment in which he was supposed to lead the team: “It’s different from now because there was no post-Madrid. The team had the ability to regenerate and then won many things.” . But That’s Boca, it has that ability to reinvent itself permanently.”

In turn, speaking with TyC Sports, Alfaro added that: “Boca has its history, its shirt and they will find a suitable person to take on this challenge and I have no doubts that they will fight.”

Finally, Gustavo touched on the subject of Carlos Tevez, who gave an interview to ESPN days ago in which he expressed his discomfort when both belonged to the club in 2019: “Alfaro said I was his emblem, his flag and in two games he put me on the bench. But the only long face I made was when I found out in the dressing room that he wasn’t playing against River, that’s when I felt he was disrespecting me.”

“What happened between us? I have nothing to say about what he said, I always wish the best for Carlitos in particular and for Boca in general,” Alfaro explained about his relationship with Apache.

In the same way, Carlitos also recalled the consecration in the Super League 19-20, a match that beat the Gymnastics and that left River without the possibility of turning around, regarding this he said: “I won the Champions League, the Libertadores, but it was thanks to how I arrived. The Boca fan looked at me sideways, the DT didn’t trust me. Alfaro wanted me to go badly. I couldn’t, I was fighting against my trust.”
