With the blinds on the pass market finally closed in Europe, in Mouth The outstanding issues relating to players who could be transferred but who will remain have been resolved. How much did the injury affect Sebastiano Villa in those decisions? Can Ibarra have an equally competitive team without the Colombian? With the Super classic in sight, he will go to Santa Fe with an alternate eleven, but now he will be too a test bed for Rijeka.
As for Villa, this Thursday he spent in the operating room and since the surgery is not so complex (an estimated one month of convalescence), the idea of having him at the end of the race or at least in full to carry out a preseason that will be wide, of almost two months without activity.
The injury also fell just in time, always inappropriate and above all because one of the best in the squad. It is that in Boca they had open fronts for the departures of Luis Vázquez for Almería and Aaron Molinas for Portugal. But everything stopped abruptly. Without Villa or Zeballos, not further weakening the attack was the premisedespite the fact that the proposal for the center forward was good (almost 9 million euros) and the club’s plans foresee repatriate Mateo Retegui in December (Tigre can buy 50 percent for $ 2.3 million, so far they haven’t communicated with Boca). But he’s been premature for months and in the ER. Today without two of his wings, doing without the other center forward was too much.
Something similar happened with Aaron Molinas, but on a smaller scale. Boca has never been convinced to bring out a minor team like Portugal’s Gil Vicente, who the midfielder had decided to emigrate more for an economic rather than a sporting difference. The club, in fact, had suggested at the beginning of the tournament a transfer to Defense and Justice to add minutes and a touch of Primo. But between failed purchase options and percentages that were required on both sides, the 22-year-old boy will finally be in Boca at least until December.
“I will stay in Boca. I talked to my dad, my agent and the people at the club about it. Everything is very good because of how we manage ourselves on both sides. I am happy and happy to be here. I thank the people of the club and the Boca fan, who makes me feel very loved. People push a lot, but it was a decision discussed by all parties “, Molinas reflected after closing an exit door to Europe. Due to his qualities, everyone has understood that other options will open up on the horizon.
The scene was different for Jorman Campuzano, who after changing his agent (now coached by Christian Bragarnik) sought to leave the club for the entire transfer market. And it will only come into effect towards the end, because he will go to the Turkish Giresunspor on loan (with a charge of 200 thousand euros) and option to redeem half of his practice. At the end of the year, Ezequiel Fernández will return from Tigre and there will be his replacement.
For the match against Colón, in Santa Fe, Ibarra will define the eleven who will take the field and there will be no shortage of alternatives. Because in the last test he tried Nicolás Figal on the right wing (for Advíncula) and put together a pair of central defenders with Roncaglia along with Marcos Rojo (he will add minutes before the River) and Fabra. In midfield, without Varela or Pol Fernández (both suspended) there will be Payero, Rolón and Óscar Romero, in the old position in which Battaglia had tried him.
In attack, with the return of Norberto Briasco (who left long treatments to recover his ankle, seriously injured in January) for Villa and Langoni on the other side, he also included Darío Benedetto as a starter. El Pipa will also have its chance to reach the classic in the Bombonera. Although now their relevance in attack will have to be greater: without Zeballos or Villa, Boca depends much more on their scorers.
