In Boca, Ibarra is already planning the team for the crucial duel against Olimpo de Bahía Blanca for the Argentine Cup

Boca’s training week continued with its usual tonic of open doors, after a hectic Monday much more outside the walls of the Ezeiza property than in privacy, where the concern about the defeats in a row against Banfield was clear. and Institute and also to see that the football involution is notorious compared to the last title that the team won in 2022. However, the DT Hugo Ibarra and company focus on the weekend game against Olimpo, for the Argentine Cup.

For that match, DT will not have available to Bruno Valdez (affected to the Selection of Paraguay), Luis Advincula (summoned to Peru) nor to Norberto Briasco (he traveled to join Armenia) and the loss against the Cordoba, added to the poor performance of recent dates, made him recalculate a game that in the previous one was designed for many of the youth players and those surnames that were not having minutes of competition. Now how will it be?

Con Javier Garcia Occupying the goal as in every national competition outside the League, in the defense there will be two forced changes but their replacements may not be the usual ones. The very bad game of Marcelo Weigandt can lead Ibarra to try in that right sector with a central marker (Roncaglia or Aranda) and that is Valentines or Roncaglia himself who takes the place of Valdez to form the duo with Nicholas Figal. On the left? sandez y Valentine Boat They may have minutes, despite the fact that Fabra alternated starts and substitutions at the beginning of 2023.

The midfield is about to be armed. Between Varela and Ezekiel Fernandez will be the positional central midfielder. And next to him, Payero. The rest can be a place for Ramírez, Medina, Rolón, Óscar Romero and even become a source of evidence with Pol Fernández (whistling at the Bombonera) again in the eleven from the start for the game in Chaco.

The offensive game will emerge from what is put together in the middle of the field, where Langoni, Villa, Benedetto and Merentiel will compete for two places. Further back, Vázquez and Gonzalo Morales will wait for their opportunity. The Colombian forward, another of those targeted by the public at Brandsen 805, knows that he has the coach’s conviction about his level but it is time to prove it. And for Pipa, who two weeks ago scored three goals in a final, he is also under scrutiny much more for his body annoyance than for football.

After, the puzzle to assemble will be one more in this cycle of Ibarra. With the tension placed not only on the team’s production but on how much it is shown to be different from the slow motion meeting that took place before the Institute. Although perhaps the evaluation has already been done and it is just one more attempt to get off the ground.
