Stopped ball battles are an issue that has no solution for Mouth now 2022. A situation that since the summer has caused headaches for Sebastián Battaglia and he has not been able to correct, beyond the surname of the shift in question that favors central defense (Zambrano played last night and then Figal with Gastón Avila) and nor does it specify that you should not commit violations near the area of Agustín Rossi, hero in Monumental against the River who left doubts against Arsenal and last night in Cali.

Guillermo Burdisso’s goal (of course, formerly Boca) was due to lack of attention after a free kick given by Ávila with a ball that he could easily solve. The goalkeeper, in that situation, is at the mercy of a deflection to suffer that bit He also suffered against Colón (Beltrán), Independiente (Togni) and Huracán (Cóccaro). Against the Estudiantes de La Plata – an expert team in that aspect – they were about to pay it off in the last game and with River, Rossi’s hands solved imperfections from that side. Even against Central Córdoba for the Argentine Cup, the goal came via an air shipment, also with Figal and Ávila sharing the central duo.

Boca’s defense, disoriented, imprecise, insecure throughout the match and showing that the absences of Carlos Izquierdoz and Marcos Rojo on the last line (both suspended beyond the captain’s injury) will be complicated throughout the first period. To make matters worse, the Peruvian Zambrano was injured and only the young Alvariño and Gabriel Aranda were left. in the middle list. Will there be a chance to try Agustín Sández as a defender? The left back has already done so in that position on the Reserve.

The lack of attention in the match against Deportivo Cali was not only from corner kicks or free kicks, but also in the first period Boca suffered from the sides that fell into place, without a mark, and to the players. wearing yellow looking at each other. Something not only marked by Juan Román Riquelme, but also Sebastián Battaglia and captain Marcos Rojo, on the final date against Arsenal, after a rude defensive error. It was not corrected.

So far in 2022, Boca could only hold the goal at zero just in front of Estudiantes de La Plata and River (probably the most complex rival so far) in the 10 games he has played (he has scored 11 goals) A weakness that in the Copa Libertadores is paid too dearly. Like in Cali.
