From Boca to Primo: the step by step of a management that made its debut with 18 players

On 2 June 2021, at the Banfield Stadium, Boca Reserve with Sebastián Battaglia at the helm played the division final against Sarmiento by Junin. That afternoon, in the first eleven he appeared Aaron Molina, Exequiel Zeballos Y Luis Vazquez. A year later, all three ended up on the pitch in the match against Central Barracksalready with more than 30 games in the highest category, with the consolidated DT (and twice champion) also in the first team. From Boca Predio de Ezeiza to Primera.

The match on the field of the All Boys, with a clear victory of Xeneize, also left the debut Luca Langonia 20-year-old boy who distinguished himself in the Reserve (he was a substitute in the final of 2021) on the wings, alternating with ape Zeballo. With him on the field, the offensive trident of the Battle team had three boys to finish the game, something that is no longer a coincidence in this new club era.

I am already 18 young people those who have reached the highest category in the Boca takeover. Some surnames settled, others prevailed, and some others had to go to add minutes to different clubs. But everyone had the opportunity to present themselves with the blue and gold jersey, which did not happen until recently.

Alan Varela (51 first matches) e Exequiel Zeballos (37 games) They were also from the start in the match against Barracas Central. And these are just two examples of those who have earned the right to play from the Lower Leagues. The same thing happened with Christian Medina (already has 60 games at the club) or Mills (36 games in Boca). But they are not the only ones.

This tour includes Augustine Sandez, with the possibility of playing in Brazil as a starter against Corinthians for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores since the absence of Frank Fabra. And behind him some names that have appeared from Battaglia’s hand in recent times: Pietro Velurta, Vincenzo Taborda Y Gabriele Vega (He renewed his contract to emigrate on loan to Godoy Cruz). Even Gabriele Aranda He had to take the field to play in Libertadores due to injuries to the central defenders.

These names arrived in Primera by decision of the various technical bodies, both Miguel Russo and Sebastián Battaglia. And in the review there are not all those guys who had to play, 4th and Reserve, against Banfield and San Lorenzo when the Professional League forbade Boca to postpone his games when his team had been isolated.

In Ezechiele Fernandez There is an example of those who chose to lend because it was no longer enough with the Reserve and did not yet have a place in the First Division. Tigre’s boyfriend has a chance to return in December, unless they emigrate from campus Campuzzano or rolling and Battaglia asks to take it back.

mountains, Mancuso, Giampaolo Y Saint Valentine They were other surnames that Miguel Russo had placed in the highest category but which failed to catch on. Others, like Valentine’s Day by boatstill waiting to step on First again.

Cases of Luis Vazquez Y Gaston Avila they are atypical, because they arrived at Boca with the age of the Reserve and also with frictions in the First Division. But after waiting all 2019 and 2020 under the orders of the Reserve technicians, they had the opportunity to play for Boca. The striker took advantage (he played 56 games) and not yet the central defender, with physical instability and performances.

While Boca is still active in the market, looking for surnames to complete the squad, the boys arrived from Boca Predio de Ezeiza, they had their chances and some managed to keep their place. An increasingly marked trend of the club.
