Mouth had this Tuesday at the property of ezeiza the last practice before the match against racingin avellanedafor the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores Cup and Jorge Almiron He rehearsed with the possible team, which would have the double nine on offense as a novelty.
The main unknown was the presence of Valentine Boat, who left the first leg due to a tear in the iliac psoas of his left leg. The 19-year-old player evolved favorably and his inclusion will depend on whether he is in pain or not, although at this time it is highly unlikely that he will be able to play.
Despite this scenario, almiron consider summoning him and waiting for him until the last moment. However, everything indicates that his replacement will be Michael Merentiel to form the double nine together with edinson cavaniaccording to what the coach stopped in today’s training.
With this they lose chances to play Lucas Janson and Exequiel Zeballoswho work on the wings, and the 5-4-1 scheme that he used in the candy box at 4-4-2.
On the other hand, in the middle it is still not sure if it repeats the triangle formed by Cristian Medina, Guillermo Fernandez and Ezekiel Fernandezsince in principle he rehearsed with that and it is possible that he will maintain it, but it should not be surprising if he resolves the entry of a midfielder with more defensive characteristics as Jorman Campuzano.
As for the rest of the names there would be no doubts or news: Nicolas Figal, Marcos Rojo and Nicholas Valentini would be the central ones, with Luis Advincula and Frank Fabra on the sides.
Another option that was being considered these days is that a winger enter to play behind the Peruvian and in that case he wins consideration. Marcelo Weigandtwho did not add minutes before sarmiento in Junin.
In this way, the probable team to face racing would be the following: Sergio Romero; Nicolás Figal, Marcos Rojo, Nicolás Valentini; Luis Advíncula, Cristian Medina, Guillermo Fernández, Ezequiel Fernández, Frank Fabra; Michael Merentiel and edinson cavani.
In the afternoon, the team will meet again and from 8:00 p.m. it will be concentrated in the Intercontinental Hotel awaiting the cup duel.
