Riquelme and Almirón appeared together for the first time at Boca to follow the Superclásico de Reserva

Jorge Almiron led six games Mouth and after the defeats against San Lorenzo and Estudiantes, the coach seems to have quickly found a way to play and straighten the course of a team that has the Libertadores Cup as the main goal. After victories against Racing and Colo Colo Xeneize have renewed confidence and are hours away Super classic at the Monumental (this Sunday, at 5.30pm), a golden opportunity to witness his good time.

However, since taking office, Almirón had not shown himself together with the person who chose him and entrusted him with the responsibility of occupying the post of coach of Boca: Juan Roman Riquelme. This Saturday, for the first time, the vice president and the technical director appeared together at Boca Predio.

He had to closely follow the Reserve match between Boca and River. There, Román was seen, thermos under his arm, and coach Almirón, sitting next to Claudio Morel Rodríguez to watch the youth match. There was also Pablo Ledesma (DT of the Eighth), who participated in the round of dunks.

Meanwhile, sometime earlier, Almirón had commanded his team’s last soccer practice before facing River in Núñez on the Professional Soccer League’s 15 date. Boca must win to reduce the 16-point gap that separates them from their next rivalthe sole leader of the tournament.

In that test, Boca’s manager stopped a team with a 5-3-2 system with Nicolás Valentini and Cristian Medina in the starting eleven, replacing Marcelo Weigandt (tactician) and Martín Payero (suspended after his red card against Racing). The eleven that Almirón stopped: Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Facundo Roncaglia, Jorge Nicolás Figal, Valentini, Valentín Barco; Pol Fernandez, Alan Varela, Medina; Sebastian Villa and Luis Vazquez.

By doing this, the coach would change the system again and mirror the number of midfielders with River as the idea is for Advíncula and Barco to join the midfield on either side. Almirón, who already beat River at the Monumental when he was Godoy Cruz’s manager in 2014, will be looking to celebrate again. And to please Riquelme, who opted for him and this Saturday they gave their first image together dressed in blue and gold.
