Frustration takes hold of the Bombonera. Some fans choose to leave earlier, convinced that it will be difficult to equalize. Those who remain cannot believe such an inability to step on the opposing area. the drums of The twelve They seem out of context. Just like Mauro Boselli’s goal, a lucid attack from Estudiantes who put together a play with pure touch that led to a spectacular scissor shot and a weak reply from Sergio Romero. It is the third consecutive defeat for Boca, who have lost five of their last six games. So, the boos flow. And a message from the rostrum: “This Tuesday, whatever the cost, this Tuesday we must win.”
Yes, the Libertadores against Pereira is coming and the fan can’t fall anymore. Contrary to the recent declarations of Juan Román Riquelme, who spoke of three wonderful years and beyond the local titles that he managed to conquer, The mouth has not been happy for a long time. With Sebastián Battaglia, Hugo Ibarra, Mariano Herrón and now with Jorge Almirón, he cannot find his identity. AS, Whose fault is it? From the coaches or the players? Or the idol vice president when it comes to investing in the pass market?
For now, little can be done in Almirón. Now, there is a reality: what was seen in ninety minutes was not related to the expectations generated by the change. In theory, Boca was an orderly team, more compact, but too mechanized. Aboard the 4-3-3, which is the coach’s trademark, with the exception of the classic against San Lorenzo in which he appealed to five defenders, he had the most ball time, but didn’t go deep , especially in the first stage. And it is well known, holding without explosion is synonymous with soft play. He didn’t hit the bow in that time.
In this context, the only disruptive was Valentin Barco. With his eighteen-year-old audacity, at least he was encouraged to break through within himself. When he had to play on the wing and go deep with the centre-backs, he rediscovered the solidity of Estudiantes. Marcelo Weigandt was more launched on the right, but he released little. In short, the clearest approximations of Boca were given to her thanks to his flanks. He color He hit a long pass that Dario Benedetto failed to connect and the cello played a central defender that Miguel Merentiel shot first from the croissant; the ball was lost near Mariano Andújar’s left post.
mouth had very small volume game because Oscar Romero is not connected. And there was no surprise because no one broke the mold. Merentiel struggles to play on the right, he always ends up playing backwards on his back. With the exception of the comedy he put together with Weigandt, he got out harmless.
students came with a very clear plan. A five-man line in which Leonardo Godoy and Gastón Benedetti had the mission of containing rival full-backs, three tall central defenders and three midfielders with recovery characteristics. Above, a more dynamic Benjamin Rollheiser and Boselli for reference. Faced with the passivity of Boca, has not suffered with this structure. And he didn’t even worry too much about stepping on Sergio Romero’s area. He only tried once, with a mid-range shot from Fernando Zuqui Lowercase stopped without problems.
Almirón warned that Boca has been very static. And he moved the bench to halftime. He eliminated Merentiel and the irrelevant Equi Fernández and gave a hint to Sebastián Villa and Cristian Medina. The team had more dynamism, especially when the Colombian entered diagonally. However, everything turned into a prey. He ended up removing the emphasis on Barco, of the little that could be saved.
Students are never wrong. And although Almirón recharged the game on the right with the introductions of Exequiel Zeballos and Luis Advíncula, Benedetti was a great opponent. Juan Ramírez was gone, injured in the first half, and made little contribution pol Fernández, very tasteless. Not to mention Benedetto, absorbed between the central three dick.
Eduardo Domínguez, on the other hand, played little and better. Matías Godoy entered and began to find fertile ground to triangulate. He puts together passes from left to right and Zuqui, holder of an amazing punch, scores a cross that Boselli transforms into a great goal, much to his regret for Romero’s loose glove.
“Hurry up, xeneize, hurry up, hurry up, stop fucking around”, was the rallying cry in every corner of this stadium. But there was no reaction.
Estudiantes was reborn after the classic that hadn’t lost for 13 years. Since the fall with Gimnasia, he has won 10 of the 12 points at stake and also scored in the Copa Sudamericana against Oriente Petrolero. The mouth is the opposite. It has been more than half a century since they have lost three games in a row on their home turf. The blue and gold giant is asleep as ever.
