Battaglia has already decided that the team will play at Corinthians and will only make one change

While in the world of football there have been speculations with publications on social networks, likes and possible winks by Arturo Vidal, who today would be closer to Flamengo than to Xeneize, in the privacy of Boca Predio de Ezeiza they seem to have things quite clear. The market, as it moves, is not a priority for anyone. External consumption does not change what Sebastián Battaglia and his companions had planned, who rejoiced at Corinthians even before the tough defeat against Banfield at the Bombonera on Friday night.

But the TD will leave the conclusions of that match for later (individually much more than collectively, with a lack of aptitude in some surnames) because he has only focused on working with those who will jump onto the pitch of Brandsen 805 for the return match. against the giant of San Paolo. And if there are no last-minute problems, everything seems to be pretty clear on the idea.

With everyone at his disposal, Battaglia will once again opt for his 4-3-3 system and with the return of Frank Fabra as left-back (in place of Agustín Sández) he will be able to stage the gala eleven he envisioned when the semester Start. Even addressing and correcting some punctual defensive problems, the coach’s strategy is similar to the last time they faced Corinthians at the Bombonera, in a match in which the locals prevailed in rhythm, attitude, intensity and also in scoring chances despite the ‘1-1 final.

Agostino Rossi; Advíncula, Izquierdoz, Red, Fabra; Guillermo Fernandez, Varela, Romero; Exequiel Zeballos, Benedetto and Villa. That is the team that stopped at the tests that he outlined and that will ratify if at the time of the game they are all full, taking into account that they have all rested in the last two league games. And on the bench there will be defensive options to move to 4-4-2 if the result is favorable or add Vázquez and Molinas too if it is necessary to give something more during the 90 minutes.

The coaching staff also stressed that since there is no away goal with an advantage, there should be no despair at the start of the match or if Boca are at a disadvantage. Because Battaglia understands that the last few times his team has done it, he has ended up in a mess that has led to defeats such as against Unión and Banfield but also to suffer unnecessarily games such as against Tigre or Cali at the beginning of the Libertadores. Punctual mistakes in Brazil last week were a wake-up call.
