The “Xeneize” team has 19 points in the domestic tournament, nine less than the leader Atlético Tucumán (28) and although half of the championship still remains to be played, the club’s leadership gave clear signals that it is not the priority with decisions that conspired against the interests and operation of the team.
In that sense, the dismissal of Sebastián Battaglia after the elimination in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores to replace him with the Reserve coach, Hugo Ibarra, the subsequent departure of captain Carlos Izquierdoz for extra-football issues, added to the decision of not reinforcing a squad that each tournament is left without at least one figure were the germ of the evils that Boca is going through.
The team won six games, lost another six, and on Sunday tied for the first time, in Avellaneda against Racing Club (0-0) a classic that in the first half was about to lose by a landslide, but that in the second equalized and almost lost it. wins at the end if it weren’t for a rude mistake by referee Fernando Rapallini, who decided to ignore a clear hand from Jonathan Gómez in the small area.
On the sidelines of the match in Avellaneda, the “Boca world” starred in one more episode to feed the confusion that reigns in the squad, with Darío Benedetto and Carlos Zambrano taking blows in the tunnel at halftime of the classic, which led to both being separated from the campus 24 hours later.
The fight between Benedetto and Zambrano minimized how badly Boca played during the first half, which they did not lose because they had the huge figure of Agustín Rossi in the goal, who is going through his final stage at the club after not agreeing to renew his contract .
To receive Rosario, Ibarra will appeal to two variants, which will be the departure of the two involved in the fight, “Pipa” Benedetto and Zambrano, who will be replaced by Luis Vázquez and Facundo Roncaglia.
The functioning of the team will depend on what the individuals can do, especially the Colombian Sebastián Villa to unbalance in the opposite goal and Rossi to avoid goals in his own.
Boca, who was champion this year of the League Cup, is going through a reality that does not invite illusions, and if there is an important change in the management of the club, the months that remain to end the year will be decisive for some players and also for the board of directors chaired by Jorge Amor Ameal.
Regarding the formation of the team for tomorrow, today the central defender Nicolás Figal did not train in the afternoon due to muscular overload but it is estimated that he will arrive, although if it were not so today Hugo Ibarra tried Agustín Sández in that position, but the other alternative is Gabriel Aranda, who did not practice either because he played for the reserve.
And in the middle of the field, Cristian Medina will enter from the start after his good performance in the last 20 minutes he played with Racing and Martín Payero will occupy a place among the substitutes.
His rival, Rosario Central, with 17 points, beat Barracas Central in his last presentation (3-1) and will arrive in La Boca with the mission of taking advantage of his rival’s moment of confusion and dealing another blow.
Undoubtedly, the attraction of the match is enhanced by the presence of a prodigal son of Boca, the idol Carlos Tevez, who will enter the stadium that saw him shine for the first time with the colors of another club, in this case with the DT diver from Rosario Central.
Tevez, with 11 titles in Boca, including an Intercontinental Cup and a Libertadores, both trophies in 2003, and a total of 94 goals, will be received as the great idol that he is by the “Xeneize” parishioners who yearn for him since he was the last leader with important trajectory and weight in the locker room.
As for the team, midfielder Mateo Tanlongo will not play in Central, expelled against Barracas Central, and Francis Mac Allister will enter in his place.
The record between the two is 156 games with an advantage for Boca, which won 69 times against 49 for Central, and they also tied 38 times.
Figal did not train this afternoon due to muscular overload but it is estimated that they will arrive, although if that were not the case today Ibarra tried Agustín Sández, but the other alternative is Gabriel Aranda, who did not practice today because he played for the reserve team.
