Mouth prepares to receive Rosario Central This Friday from 20 at La Bombonera, in a match that could mark the end of the cycle of Fernando Gago as coach. After the hard elimination in the Copa Libertadores before Alianza Lima, Alan Velasco It was the one who missed the last penalty and after an injury, he will not be on the list of summoned.
The team seeks to recover in the Opening Tournament 2025, where it remains well positioned, however, the atmosphere is planned tense and with much at stake for the future of the technician.
Among the novelties of the list of summoned, the most striking absence is that of Velasco, who failed the key prison in the series against Alianza Lima. The ex-independent suffered an ankle sprain and, although it is not a serious injury, Gago decided to preserve it.
In addition, Lucas Janson and Frank Fabra, two players who were strongly questioned by the fans in recent months were not summoned.
On the contrary, the coach It will feature referents such as Edinson Cavani, Marcos Rojo, Luis Advíncula and Ander Herrerawho will seek to reverse the image of the team after elimination.
Carlos Palacios and Ayrton Costa will also be, both with physical discomfort but ready to play. The delegation that will face the meeting is practically the same that played the match against Alianza Lima, with minimal variants.
The pressure on Gago is evident and it is estimated that it can become the last party in which it is commanded. Although Boca remains competitive in the local tournament, the elimination in the Libertadores left sequelae and the weather in the Bombonera will be decisive.
For more that its departure is almost unanimous, a bad result, it could further sentence its continuity, so the duel against Rosario Central is not only key in sports, but also in the institutional.
Boca needs to win to hold in the fight for the title and to calm the waters in the middle of a crisis of trust. With a beaten team and a questioned coach, the game against the “Canalla” is emerging as a fire test for an “Xeneize” that still seeks to meet his best version.
