Not only does it not satisfy the fans of Boca and he was one of the three players whistled on Thursday at the San Lorenzo stadium. Not only that. Jorman Campuzano He had to leave as soon as the second half started due to muscle discomfort and his absence creates a major problem for this Monday’s game against Tigre in Victoria: The alternatives to replace it in case it does not recover are scarce. On campus. What options do you have? Diego Martinez?
Campuzano underwent tests on Friday, along with Edinson Cavani, another of those who did not finish the match against Sarmiento. But at the moment there was no medical report from the club and it was barely made known from Ezeiza that it would be a contracture in both cases, both the Colombian and the Matador. And with the proximity of the commitment it seems difficult for Martínez to have available a footballer who was so complicated that he asked for a change 10 minutes into the second half…
In this situation, The coach did not hesitate and sent Mauricio Benítez to the field and made it debut in an absolute way. The central midfielder, who turns 20 this Saturday and the club greeted him through social networks, joined the professional squad this year, after having stood out during 2023 in both the Reserve and the Libertadores and Intercontinental Sub 20 which the team led by Silvio Rudman conquered.
Benítez would be the logical alternative to replace Campuzano, despite the fact that in his debut he had a normal game, possibly due to nerves. Riquelme, the Council and Martínez trust in the youth player, although the ideal would be for him to have a progressive adaptation and not for him to jump to the starting position in a key position in an emergency situation.
The other option, which was at hand on Thursday against Sarmiento and the coach did not choose it, would be the entry of Jabes Saralegui on the right and Pol Fernández returned to the number five position in which he played during a part of the cycle of Jorge Almiron. But it would be a dangerous combo considering Pol’s level and how resisted he is by Boca fans. It could be exposing him even more.
WAITING FOR EQUI AND SOME REINFORCEMENT?
If Campuzano went from a resisted substitute offered to several clubs as a bargaining chip to a resisted starter, it was only because Ezequiel Fernández is participating in the Pre-Olympic with the Argentine Under 23 National Team. And Equi would be the one chosen by Martínez to fill that position once he rejoins within a week after the completion of the competition in Venezuela.
At the same time, in recent days, the leadership once again transcended the intention of adding a central midfielder. On the one hand, details of a negotiation that took place in December by Ignatius Miramon, the former Gimnasia who plays for Lille in France. And on the other hand, the name of the Uruguayan appeared Emiliano Martínezrecently summoned by Marcelo Bielsa who plays for Midtjylland in Denmark. It would have been offered.
The remaining name always in the folder is Fausto Vera, the former Argentines who plays for Corinthians. Always followed closely, with interest, by Riquelme. Will any be given?
