In the prelude to the game between Mouth and the leader of the Professional League, Atletico Tucumánwas Hugo Ibarra who gave voice to his campus week. And in addition to disabling some criticism, he talked about the return of Dario Benedettoas Sergio Romero observes and the defensive solidity he is looking for in the next matches.
The team technician (until the end of the season, in the first week of November) has shown that he has tried “Two teams, I have almost the entire squad available and I have in mind how we will play if there are no imponderables”. He did it after a formal football test in which he included Luis Vázquez as a center forward after his goal against Defense and Justice.
And that’s why Ibarra stopped in front of a question about Benedict. “Darío is fine, recovering from this moment. It was good for him to get some rest, to commit to the group as it is and to try. The past is already, left behind”, Revealed the coach about his interview with the center forward, immersed in a football and emotional block from that match against Corinthians. But Pipa made good practice playing for substitutes. And maybe you can dive into the Bombonera from the start.
Ibarra also had to respond to the unusual controversy generated by some sectors due to his presence in a Senior Club match while Atlético Tucumán – Barracas were playing. And with a laugh, he revealed that he had already reviewed the meeting three times and that he would continue to do so until the day before. “We were with Tito (Pompei) at the game and Gracián was watching the game to review it. After eating we saw it. The fact that I play in the Senior does not affect my role as DT at all. “raised the club’s longtime footballer about the ridiculous questions of the past few hours.
Secondly, with Rossi as a starter and Sergio Romero who puts himself fully in physical shape, Ibarra also stated that “it’s nice to have two players of this level and that the problem is mine as to who to play. Sergio (Romero) can’t wait, he is training very well and we are taking him back to get him back in the squad ”. At the club they have always been strong: the idea is that Rossi is in goal until his replacement feels complete after months without competitions. The only thing that can alter that plan is that there is a transfer that has not been agreed upon by the starting goalkeeper until now. The rest was all designed for 2023.
In addition, Ibarra highlighted the situations of Rojo and Medina. “Marcos (Rojo) is fine, we don’t have to run. He will have more minutes a week to be well. Cristian (Medina) has an inflammation that prevents him from taking a step. We will take it slowly but it will take a few days.” the return of the center scorer is suspended with the goal of the Superclásico, on two dates. They do not want to force him too much and that he suffers in an area that had abused him in 2021. That is why if there is any risk, it will not even be among those mentioned for the weekend.
The defensive issue is something that Boca pays attention to. It is that he has not received a goal in the last 4 games (he has barely scored two goals in favor) despite having had to change all the pieces of the defense, with three different pairs of central defenders. “It is important to support us in defense and grow from there,” said Ibarra in relation to upcoming matches. And to the possible cross-combat of the Argentine Cup.
The probable team against the leader
Although there are still days of training, in the football test of Hugo Ibarra at the Bombonera there was Rossi; Advíncula, Zambrano (respected the disqualification of two games of the club), Figal, Fabra; Pol Fernandez, Alan Varela, Juan Ramirez; Oscar Romero, Luis Vazquez and Sebastian Villa.
