Battaglia tested his ideal eleven for Boca thinking about the series against Corinthians

For the first time since his break after winning the League Cup, Sebastián Battaglia was able to demonstrate what he considers his “eleven ideals” to play against Barracas Central, but thinking about the match against Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores in two weeks.

In rehearsals before Sunday’s game on the All Boys pitch, DT once again included Carlos Izquierdoz for Nicolás Figal in the central defense, Peruvian Luis Advíncula (he asked to be available to the coach despite being left to rest after playing with Peru) for Marcelo Weigandt, with a weak game against Tigre, and Óscar Romero for Juan Ramírez.

The changes, if ratified by the coach, mark Battaglia’s position in view of the match against Corinthians for the Libertadores, with the Paraguayan already in the position of internal midfielder and not of connection.

On, the trident for which he chose the TD was Villa, Benedetto and Exequiel Zeballos. The Colombian has already canceled the suspension dates in Libertadores and will be able to return to play in the international tournament. El Changuito, in addition to his great moment, today is ahead of Eduardo Salvio (already with the offer to renew his relationship on the table) in consideration despite Toto having recovered from an injury and will be available for the match in Brazil.

A game idea, with an offensive structure, which needs to oil some defensive mechanisms. It is that after the title, Sebastián Battaglia’s team has turned into a much more prolific attacking quest, but which has also led him to expose himself much more to rivals, a priori, inferior to the powerful team from Sao Paulo.

That said, and possibly with the rotation of surnames in hand for the next matches against Unión and Banfield, the trial of Barracas Central will have a lot of evidence for what comes in the international competition, already cWith the peace of mind of having made an Olympic lap in the year and with the ticket for the next Libertadores insuredthe group will go through this second semester without commitments but with the ambition to look for another star (it is still alive even in the Argentine Cup) with the priority placed on the hard road that has touched it in the context of Conmebol.

If there are no unexpected events, the eleven to look for another three points at the start of the season will be with Rossi; Advíncula, Izquierdoz, Red, Fabra; Pol Fernandez, Alan Varela, Oscar Romero; Sebastiano Villa, Benedetto and Zeballos.

The pass market, without urgency

With a lot of time on the agenda and an armed squad, without major casualties and with a technician who evaluates each piece, the Boca transfer market is without urgency. It is that today the coach has certainties on every line and even beyond the owners he has substitutes, so the market will calmly retrace Brandsen 805.

Even without foreign quotas available until after June 30, and with market windows open in Mexico, the United States and Europe until September, everything will develop in place of possible exits for sales or loans. And opportunity.

In this context, in addition to discovering the situations and intentions of stars like Arturo Vidal or Edinson Cavani, it was Riquelme himself who made it clear: “It is one thing to want them and another to be able to pay for them”. That’s why in the case of those surnames, from Boca they are strong. “If the players have intentions to come to Argentina, we will look for a way to bring them, but their search cannot be a priority in this economic context”, they confided to Clarín.

Much more specific are local players or Argentines looking for competition minutes. And without Almendra (separated from the coach) or Pulpo González (injured), the right midfield seems to be a necessity for the manager. That is why the alternatives of Rodrigo Aliendro, Domingo Blanco, Martín Payero and many others scheduled in that position. Everything will be resolved after the Libertadores crossing against Corinthians. The same releases or possible sales abroad.
