The voice of Hugo Ibarra in the prelude to the match between Mouth Y laboratories in the Bombonera it was expected. Because the interim DT (the club has started talks with several coaches and then chose its best option for 2023) knows that facing the match against Cordoba will be marked by the atmosphere of the Bombonera, by the performance of a squad seen by I. uno look at his match against San Lorenzo and why he also has 3 losses in a row (2 with Battaglia in the lead) in this Professional League.
But in this altered climate, with the resolution of departures and arrivals in the squad still in a broad market due to an outdated calendar, the multi-champion as a player and alternative manager of Underdogs and Reserves for more than ten years at the club (he was with Rolando Schiavi and Battaglia at different times) is now in charge. And he did it to make some decisions.
The Black On Friday at the Bombonera he held a press conference in which he confirmed the same eleven who played against San Lorenzo on Saturday to receive Talleres, also a way to engage them with the fans at Brandsen 805 after the bad match with San Lorenzo. But he also referred to the situation of Carlos Izquierdoz. “He has a problem with his ankle, there is a medical report and that is why he is not focused. I talked to him, he is a great professional and he understood it perfectly”, clarified the coach.
Ibarra took over as coach after Sebastián Battaglia’s departure and the first thing he did was remove Izquierdoz from the starting team, who had been the group’s singing voice in the dispute over the prizes allegedly due to the Football Council. While the leaders and Izquierdoz seek a solution to the conflict that leaves both sides happy.
Against San Lorenzo on the bench was Izquierdoz and when Marcos Rojo – who will be the captain against Talleres – scored the goal, he went directly to embrace Cali. “Marcos can hug whoever he wants”, said in a message that contradicted the information they were trying to agitate from different sectors (including political ones) about a retaliation against the former Manchester United. Another version that DT himself has ruled out.
“I have known the club for many years, I consider myself a brick of this club that has given us so much. I can only thank the fans for their love and support. We face the week calmly, trying to talk to everyone. Boca does not. waiting for Boca is everyday and I’m trying to instill this in the group, “Ibarra stressed, who knows that the only way to calm things down is with performances and triumphs.
Furthermore, despite the fact that once again by some sectors they insist on blaming the Boca Football Council and its influence, once again it was Ibarra himself who raised a scenario that is already known. “What I speak or speak with the Council stays there, whoever has to join will join; the mentality and the idea is to go all the same way”.
On the other hand, the coach referred to two specific issues: Almond and Martin Payero, New arrival. “Almendra is a Boca player and we will evaluate him as the days go by; I had him in the Reserve and I hope he will recover physically soon,” he commented. And speaking of the former Banfield, the last reinforcement for now, he stressed that “first we will find him to get in tune on the physical level and then we will talk to him to find out where he feels more comfortable than him”.
From the performance in the match against Workshops, and from the work in the week, it will be clear what changes will be made from now on. Since Ibarra has decided to support the same players just for this game, he has warned that he will start modifying the pieces based on what they will do from now on in the 90 minutes. “I see the players calm and the Boca fans know what it is, the support will always be there and the players will have it. Being out of the Cup hits and we know what happens when it happens, but I think the scenario with the people will be as always”, calmly launched the DT.
