While Ibarra waits for Rojo for the Superclásico, the deal could be reactivated to keep Rossi at Boca

The evidence in Mouth They started. And in the first test she did it Hugo Ibarra In front of Super classic On Sunday there were a couple of changes in the surnames and in the system. A research to be deepened or just a first sketch that will undergo changes?

The first team was formed with a 4-3-3 that had a defensive line with Advíncula, Figal, Zambrano and Fabra. It is that Marcos Rojo, still with his muscle discomfort (it drags him from the match against Colón and for this reason he has moved aside) has moved aside. And the inclusion of him or not can change the course of Sunday’s formation if the TD is inclined towards a line of 5 defenders.

As guessed, Alan Varela and Pol Fernández will return to the middle of the pitch (both booked against Atlético Tucumán to clean themselves up for this match) but in the test Martín Payero appeared as a title, on a site that belonged to Óscar Romero or Juan Ramírez. How did the coach feel with the former Banfield? A position where no one stops making a footing and that his mid-range shot can give him options that no other player on that site has.

However, there are more ideas in Ibarra’s head. And in midfield there are still questions to be defined. Even from the tactical design. If it is with three central defenders, they will try to add a “good foot” in the central part of the midfield. If, on the other hand, you play with a line of 4, you may be looking for other characteristics.

The attack, again in this initial 4-3-3, saw Norberto Briasco, Luca Langoni and Darío Benedetto, the only one whose name was confirmed to jump on Sunday at the Bombonera. A way to test the wings with this midfield or do any of the players have a chance to start the game? The double 9, at least, was not part of the first free practice of the day. And the young Langoni, finished cramped at Santa Fe, his actions give him favor as long as Boca moves in defense with four defenders.

Why was Ibarra’s first test with four defenders and not five? Although Rojo is not available, he was able to test Roncaglia or Aranda in that area and thus move chips from the rest of the team. I did not do it. Also he did not mutate in a row 5 during the test. The first test of the week (it was at the Bombonera) was with that draw as long as they moved, albeit with the entry of Ramírez for Payero and Romero for Briasco.

The inclusion of the last two surnames has to do with the physical care they are respecting after a blow to the hip that hit the former Talleres and the muscle fatigue that the Paraguayan drags on from the Santa Fe match over the weekend.

Unlike what has happened since he took control of the team, this week Ibarra will be switching chips overnight. And he will be forced in some cases (due to physical discomfort) and in others to change the team’s game scenario, with the line of 5 latent defenders still.

Chat with Rossi, without proposal

Late Tuesday afternoon, after the afternoon training session in Ezeiza, there was an interview with Agustín Rossi. And it was due to the fact that after the final closure of the pass market around the planet (only the windows of some destinations in Europe remain open) in Boca they reminded the goalkeeper that his economic proposal for the renewal is still valid. How come?

It is that from the club they have waited until the closing of the book of passes that his agent, Miguel González, has approached some of the economic proposals that he claimed to have for the goalkeeper. Nobody has arrived. And only Girona from Spain was interested in the conditions, but turned to another goalkeeper (Gazzaniga).

Thus, with a salary “of the fourth goalkeeper of Panama” as defined by his agent, the club made it clear to him once again that the offer to extend his bond for four seasons had the salary update from the time of signing, in addition to an economic bonus requested by your representative at the time of subscription. There has been no offer update or formal meeting. Just a face to face with Rossi, who has said several times that his idea of ​​him was to stay at the club but that he did not accept any of the offers that were made to him to prolong his bond.

What made the player’s environment transcend? That Rossi would now accept the Boca offer but for less time. This, if that were the case, would change the scenario: his representative publicly stated that the offer was economically low because it was gross ($ 11 million) and did not mention an option to shorten the bond. If this happens, in Boca they will accept. The reason? Stay with economic income for a transfer and gain time to sell it while you already have your replacement in the club. Once again the ball is in Rossi’s hands.
