After the confirmation of the game against Defense and Justice on Tuesday at 9:30 pm in Bombonera (with the arbitration of Andrés Merlos), Sebatián Battaglia made a list of those summoned to Boca where Carlos Izquierdoz was not but where DT has already had almost the entire squad available for what is to come.
In the last line, after a break against the Tigers, Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano and Frank Fabra will reappear. The other place will go to Marcos Rojo, who, due to being sanctioned by the Libertadores (he still owes a game), will start the domestic tournament. Why is Izquierdoz not here? Because he was annoyed because of the blow to the waist and because he had already served his sanction in Conmebol he will be taken care of for the match against Corinthians which will be held in a week.
With Alan Varela and Pol Fernández as starting parts in midfield, the only doubt that Battaglia seems to have is the inclusion or not of Juan Ramírez in that midfield. Without the former San Lorenzo, the site would have gone to Óscar Romero. And so, the attack will again have three defined pieces.
Darío Benedetto (the team’s top scorer this 2022 with 9 cries) and Sebatián Villa (the offensive side of the most influential imbalance of the year) were from the start. And to them we can add Eduardo Salvio, who had a good performance against Central Córdoba and La Paz against Always Ready. With a single tactical stoppage that allowed a bit of a break, Toto played at the start.
What alternatives handle DT? Include Juan Ramírez and move Romero to a more independent position on offense. Or put Cristian Medina there, who had a good income against the Tigers in Victoria. There are plenty of options for the coach, who warned that “we’ll need them all because there are so many games in a row.”
In case of defeat to Florencio Varela’s team, Boca will play on Saturday for the League Cup and on Tuesday for the Copa Libertadores, only to resolve a final final of the domestic tournament at the start of the last date of the first round of the Cup, in a duel that could go hand in hand against Deportivo Cali. Too crowded.
The possible starting eleven are: Rossi; Advincula, Zambrano, Pula, Fabra; Guillermo Fernández, Varela, Ramírez o Romero; Salvio, Benedetto and Sebastian Villa.
