“I think that from the game and from what I have to analyze about the performance we are on the right track. Obviously we tied three and won one and that’s the anger. Of the three games, except for the PT with Platense, Boca deserved to win. And that is not speaking from fanaticism but rather analyzing performance. If I do, in the three games we could have won two clearly, like against Defensa and Sarmiento, and in Platense in the second half we were superior. “It’s not what we imagined, it’s not what we dreamed of, we don’t like it at all.”
Poor Diego Martínez is subject to the generalities of the law of he is right but he goes to prison. The tree of results covers the forest of returns. That happens in all clubs and a little more in Boca, where first we have to win and then we see how we continue.
In the media and on social networks, poor Gigoló is told that his cycle is a continuity of Almirón’s. Once again, the numbers (one win in four games) are comparable with the end of the previous cycle (adding to Herrón’s interim tenure), which already had four wins in 21 games. For this reason, there was already talk of changes, of another scheme, of another search. And when the river sounds…

And just as Diego Martínez got involved after Platense (Zenón and Cavani joined the team) and got involved to go to Victoria (Blondel and Blanco on the sides, Advíncula as a midfielder, Benítez for Campuzano and Benedetto as a double nine with Merentiel), Today a team that had repeated against Defensa plays strong again. Let’s see…
The good thing about changes
In principle, Advíncula returns to his right-back position, as the first sign of the need for a change, if a decision of pure logic is desired, because the Peruvian starting from behind still reaches the rival area well And so Boca can add a midfielder with management and outlook.
And that’s what the Gigolo did, with strong changes from the middle up. What he modified first was the scheme, and went from a 4-4-2 that he used in the last two games to a 4-2-3-1, with Pol (despite being resisted, he always plays as a starter) and Campuzano (( who returns (in the place of the boy Benítez) in the axis; with Zenón, Bullaude and Janson behind Merentiel as the only striker. Then, out Pipa, who pays for the DT’s swerve and out again Langoni, that he was one of the candidates to enter, something that ultimately will not happen.
Neither Benedetto (out again), nor Cavani (still out of the concentrates): up, only Merentiel.
First start for Janson and another chance for Bullaude, who can be good company for Zenón in the setup, that will surely close to leave the band free for Advíncula (because also playing there is not the forte of the former Godoy Cruz) looking for that associated game that the coach’s diagnosis demands.

A bet played
The Gigolo is a risky move. Because between the search for a change and overdoing it there is room, barely, for the thinness of a sigh. Especially when the coach had planned to bet on a base formation from which to make specific modifications.
A home draw against Defensa y Justicia was, it seems, enough evidence to start over. Because it seems like a lot and it is not a little: There are too many changes of direction for just five dates, it is understandable that at the beginning of the cycle some type of instability is to be expected, but not that much…
More so, when positive things were found from Martínez’s analysis. “I think that from the game and from what I have to analyze about the performance we are on the right track. I do believe that once the team came in and controlled the game, what we lacked was a little more finesse in those combinations on the inside, and that when we overflowed on the wing we lacked more presence in the area. That is something to try to work on and correct,” Martínez said post-Defense. So, was there a need for so much change?
