The reflections of Diego Martínez

The Boca coach, Diego Martinez, also left the Madre de Ciudades stadium happy. For him Gigolo The seriousness with which they approached the match without relaxing, despite the fact that it was a lower category rival – the Salteños will play in Federal A – was fundamental.

“We prepared him as always, since Federal hadn’t started, we only had the information from the friendlies. We tried to see how Victor (Riggio) performed in the Argentine Cup match against Rosario Central last year “, began Martínez at the press conference.

And he continues: “From that preparation it was the same as always and that doubt about how they would start if with a 5 line or with a 4-3-2-1 we could give that information to the boys and what is most appreciated and I feel very satisfied with the seriousness with which the group approached this match, the importance they gave it, how they came to play it. It ends up seeming like a logical difference in the categories but always with respect for the kids from Central Norte. “Happy with the commitment made and with having taken the match as a final.”

On the other hand, Martínez warnsThe need to adjust the operation for the final stretch of the Professional League Cup and the start of the journey in the Copa Sudamericano.

“Finals are always played at Boca and they are all very important matches. We would have liked to be much closer to the objective of being in the top four. We didn’t succeed and we will try to extend it in this final, with the start of the South American and with all the matches that lie ahead, try to reach that objective which is to be among the top four of the championship and start to have a good phase of the Copa Sudamericano to move forward to the next phase and overcome every phase of the competition that we will play like in the Argentina Cup,” he reflected.

In this sense he concluded: “For us the most important match was the Central Norte match, so when they asked me how we had planned it, it was the same. For us the most important match was this, the Argentine Cup “. Now there’s rest and then San Lorenzo, then we’ll see how we’ll tackle the South American race which is so difficult due to the altitude, the journey, what the logistics that we are still putting together with the club will mean. it will be Newell’s, then it will be Trinidense and it is like this… The club we represent forces you to give your best in every match, to go to win, to leave the institution in good standing and that is what we are trying to do. “

Finally, The coach praised Cavani’s constant work to reach his best form.

“Cavani always plays for the team and the team plays for the team. I still believe that we still have to be that team that we imagine… We, as a coaching staff, try to be a team that can be in control and that If we can get closer at the opponent’s goal, our attackers will be much closer to the transformation,” he said.

And he closed:”Edi… it’s the hierarchy he has. What we like most is the way he puts himself at the service of the team, how he always tries to be an example and help the team from a very humble place, beyond any hierarchy or career… Today he is reaping what he proclaims every day and I hope I can continue to do so. “For us as a team it is very important to have one of our centre-forwards in the condition he is in.”
