San Lorenzo, who will look to put a 10-game streak behind them without winning at the New Gasometer, will receive Boca this Saturday, who will make Hugo Benjamín Ibarra’s debut as interim manager. The match will start at 3:30 pm, will be directed by Fernando Espinoza and broadcast by TNT Sports.
Ruben Insua surprised with the inclusion of Sebastián Torrico in the starting squad for Augusto Batalla. During the week there was speculation about the departure of the Condor in Barracas Central, but this afternoon he will be captain again. Did he get his job back or did he say goodbye to San Lorenzo in front of his fans? Other entries will be those of Colombian Cristian Zapata (of Gonzalo Luján) and of the striker Ezequiel Cerutti (of Iván Leguizamón), both recovered from muscle injuries.
“They did not assure me that Torrico could leave or stay, he trained with absolute normality, he is an excellent professional, a great goalkeeper, a very cultured person. He is a great example behind closed doors for young people. My personal desire is to be able to continue to count on him until the day he chooses to retire, “Insua explained at a conference.
In Boca, meanwhile, the most brilliant news is the departure of Carlos Izquierdoz for the entry of the Peruvian Zambrano. Information revealed an internship between the team and management and manager Hugo Ibarra was left in the middle. The same, the Black made or accepted the determination to sideline the Cali.
It will not be the only change because Boca will play with hook again, an old wish of Juan Román Riquelme. That’s why midfielder Juan Ramírez will come in instead of Exequiel Zeballos and Óscar Romero will start from the center. Another alternative is to keep the 4-3-3 with the Paraguayan left-hander as the right winger. Upstairs will be Sebastián Villa and Darío Benedetto.
