Why did Cardona, Villa and Zambrano not start in Boca?

The three were going to be from the start against Newell’s on Sunday, the day the game was suspended, but today Battaglia surprised by sending them to the bench.

Edwin Cardona, Sebastián Villa and Carlos Zambrano gave the note of the day in Boca and not precisely for a football issue. It is that the three footballers, who were going to be starters in the postponed duel on Sunday against Newell’s, on the 23rd date of the Professional Football League, they were removed from the team in a surprising way by Sebastián Battaglia.

Why Edwin Cardona, Sebastián Villa and Carlos Zambrano were not starters against Newell’s

So much Cardona, as well as Villa and Zambrano signed the roster to play from the start on the weekend and yesterday they were part of the 11th in the rehearsal arranged by the Xeneize coach, so everything indicated that today they would be in front of La Lepra from the beginning. Nevertheless, something made Battaglia change his mind and the three went to the substitute bench, since they were replaced by Eduardo Salvio, Exequiel Zeballos and Lisandro López.

Although the Boca coach is expected to explain his decision at the post-match press conference, in principle the modifications would respond to a tactical question. The midfielder and the Colombian forward entered in the second half, instead of those who played for them as a starter.
