Boca Juniorswith the absence of the Uruguayan Edinson Cavanilook for the first official victory of the technical era this Monday Diego Martinez when visiting a beaten person Tiger for the third round of Group B of the Professional League Cup. The match at the José Dellagiovanna stadium will begin at 7.45pm with the opening whistle from Fernando Echenique, who will be assisted by Silvio Trucco in VAR. The TNT Sports signal will broadcast live.
In a stronghold that he knows perfectly well, thanks to his successful past in the Victoria “Matador”, Martínez will take advantage of the joy that was denied him in the first two matchdays, following the draw with Platense (0-0). and Sarmiento of Junín (1-1).
The coach who brought Tigre back to the First Division and took them to the 2022 League Cup final, which they lost against “Xeneize” in Córdoba, seduced Juan Román Riquelme with his idea of the game, but at the moment he is not he failed to capture him in his new club, as he also did in his previous job at Huracán.
It is true that only two dates have passed and that Boca offered a pale image with Vicente López and a better face with Sarmiento in the Nuevo Gasómetro, especially in the second half, when they managed to seal the match as a partial 1-0 win, if Cavani’s day failed.
Medical studies have ruled out a feared tear during his return as a starter, immediately after finishing 2023 with an injury of the same severity, for which he completed a differentiated work plan in the preseason.
In any case, Cavani, 36 years old, was not called up by Martínez for the match against Tigre with the intention of not risking an overcrowded start to the season.
Changes are felt in Tigre after the lackluster performance against Avellaneda’s Racing, which aroused the displeasure of his coach Néstor “Pipo” Gorosito. “It’s not normal for a team to lose 3-0 and not receive a yellow card,” he said, disagreeing with his team’s performance in the Cilindro.
The Victorian ‘Matador’ has not scored a goal in the League Cup after drawing with Sarmiento in the first match in another disappointing performance.
