And in the preview, both technical directors, Diego Martínez and Ruben Darío Insuathey held a press conference together in which they underlined the importance of winning a classic with so much at stake.

In Argentine football it is normal for players or technical directors to make statements before the matches of each date, especially when a classic is played, but The curious thing is that this Wednesday the DTs sat in front of the microphones.

Diego Martínez spoke about the importance of players with experience at the plate, taking into account that Javier García and Pol Fernández have trained together with the group and have made it clear that, although experienced players are important, all the players in their squad are prepared to face this type of matches. An example is Jabes Saralegui, who started against River in the last superclásico and the youngsters did not clash.

“Every time we design a team it is because we understand that it is better to try to be protagonists. We have many decisive matches ahead, so we will define them depending on how they recover match after match. and how the national team boys arrive”, continued Martínez considering the possible team that will be able to stop Boedo’s team.

Boca has loaned many of its players to Argentina national team already Under 23 (Luis Advíncula was also with Peru) and the rest will be fundamental for each player in the squad facing the series of matches that Xeneize will play between the Professional League Cup and the South American Cup (debut on Wednesday April against Nacional de Potosí, in height).

In turn, Martínez immediately doubled down and spoke about the present. “The team shows signs of growth. I think we still have a long way to go, the margin for growth is very large”said the coach of the Ribera team.

On the San Lorenzo side, Insua declared that he has not yet defined the team that will face Boca and that in the two remaining training sessions before the match at Brandsen 805 he will put the team together. “In general we arrived well”Insua said.

“We are fine with the squad we have. We were missing two players who we will lose for a long time, but for now we are not thinking of adding them”clarified the coach of Boedo’s team. Gastón Hernández and Manuel Insaurralde suffered cruciate knee ligament ruptures.

“It’s an important classic at a national level and a match like this is always transcendent”He said Galician Insua and added that he will give the same importance to the local tournament, the Argentina Cup and the Copa Libertadores. “I believe that the most important match is always the next one”said the Ciclón coach.

To close, Diego Martínez spoke about the current situation of Edinson Cavani, found in goal. “Always calm when the attackers score, they and the group have it. Edinson has the possibility of transforming himself, but his work when he wasn’t doing it is very important, the daily life at Predio, what he transmits to the young people, what he competes. He is very important and is one of the leaders of the team.”, said Martínez. Cavani has scored six goals in the last five matches, three against Belgrano, one against Racing and two in the last match against Central Norte, for the Argentina Cup.
