Boca: why Riquelme ratified Ibarra, what can happen to Rojo and Benedetto

The designation of Hugo Ibarra (accompanied by Leandro Gracián and Roberto Pompei) was a winning move Mouth. As if it were a big chessboard, by the management of the football club – apart from the fact that the presentation also included Jorge Amel– They understood that the message to be given had to be inside much more than outside. And it is that the interim DT – it will be while the talks with several technicians will begin that will be called at this moment to know their ideas – will avoid speculation by a squad that after the previous and post episodes Corinthians and Il San Lorenzo has remained in the by means of an internal and external observation, just before the other match at the Bombonera, with the fans boiling over the attitude of the players. If anyone believed that Bajo Flores’ result could alter Ibarra’s transition, he was wrong. And now he will continue to make decisions.

Why did Riquelme and company decide? His great safeguard is to have the ticket for the Copa Libertadores 2023 in his pocket, which was not stopped when a year ago they put Battaglia in that same place and also coming from the Reserve, without experience, and which ended with two Olympics laps. but with debts in football. Today without that urgency behind us, and having already been champion locally in the year, times are different. It’s true: they will try to compete in this championship (he is 6 points from the top) and in Copa Argentina (he is in the 8th round and there he will face Agropecuario).

It has also been determined why the assembly and disassembly of the squads (including surnames of weight, worn out in their cycle beyond the controversies over the request for money for the prizes in the Cup) go beyond this market window, despite more than one may emigrate if they bring offers to the club. But even so, right now Boca will contact the coaches to find out their situation for Octoberat the end of the national tournament.

“We make decisions, that’s what we’re here for. Calmly, calmly and seeing the way to continue winning titles. Things have happened that have fueled the media … it’s true, “Juan Román Riquelme reviewed on Radio 10. And shortly after, it was Jorge Bermúdez, a member of the Football Council, who confirmed that” the appointment of Hugo (Ibarra) will be that to take the time to make a decision about the future and we believe we are in good hands from a sporting point of view ”.

The entrance to Pompeii by Mariano Herrón (He had been in the coaching staff of Russo and Battaglia) it was also a castling of pieces that praised the internal problems that arose in the prelude to the crossing of Libertadores against Corinthians. and although Carlos Izquierdoz had already said his idea was to leave the club in Octoberafter this cup, times can speed up if his representative approaches proposals to the club, with which he had only renewed his relationship to update the dollar to be received per month and not for more.

“It was a technical decision. For this I am the coach and I have the responsibility. I thought he was the best for the team, ”Ibarra tried to explain the captain’s controversial departure. There are two truths: that the DT does not convince him football but also that his determination has to do with the relationship with the Football Council, despite the player himself affirming that “I have never had problems with anyone in 15 years” from its social networks.

With a week of training to test, analyze and even talk, Ibarra will indicate if the captain of his eleven sticks to Marcos Rojo or if he changes arms. Even if in each line he inserts alternatives that he brings from his external gaze or if he keeps in the eleven the players who will have to jump on the Brandsen 805 playing field to be under the gaze of the Boca fans. It remained suspended in the air that someone in Bajo Flores forced more than one action to ask for expulsion Keep him out of that situation. Everyone has taken note.

With Dario Benedetto (Was there a call to Riquelme to tone down his situation?) A special magnifying glass will weigh in too. Not just because of its condition self-proclaimed captain; also because on the pitch he was scored by those missed penalties in international series. He and Rojo, despite being referents, had also been branded by Battaglia for not respecting the rules. For this, unlike Izquierdoz, they do not even have an absolute influence with their companions. Is it time for someone trained in the institute to lead the locker rooms?

In a press conference where it was impossible to ask beyond the football plane, questions remained in the air, although only a few weeks will be able to answer questions that still remain unanswered in Boca.
