Diego Martínez discusses Boca Juniors’ victory and upcoming challenges

The coach of Boca Juniors, Diego Martínez, spoke at a press conference after the solid 3-0 victory against Central Norte de Salta in the 32nd final of the Argentine Cup and pointed to what is to come with the debut for the Copa Sudamericana in the horizon, although he also expressed himself about different names on his team with very different moments at present.

The driver highlighted the performance of Edinson Cavani, the great figure on the field after having scored the first two goals in Santiago del Estero: “What we like most about him is how he puts himself at the service of the team, how he always tries to be the example and help the team from a very humble place beyond his entire hierarchy and today he is collecting what he proclaims every day. I hope he can continue doing it. For us it is very important to have a center forward at the level he is at.”

Another of the topics addressed was the ownership of Marcos Rojo, who had not been able to officially add minutes due to his injury during the warm-up prior to a preseason friendly: “It is important that Marcos felt the way he felt. He is our captain, he is one of our leaders and it is important that he feels good playing on the field. He is what he does most, enjoys and, above all, what he transmits to us as a coaching staff and, mainly, to his teammates. It is important that he is back.”

On the other hand, he expressed his regret at not being able to give more minutes to other footballers “who deserve it.” When questioned, he named that thought Frank Fabra: “I would love to be able to give Frank more of what he gives us on a daily basis, of his predisposition, of how he maintains that camaraderie and that joy behind closed doors.” and how positive it is, but unfortunately in making decisions sometimes I end up being unfair in his case.”

* The seriousness of the team and the solidarity of Cavani

“We are working with the possibility that he can play in another position; as a midfielder, somewhat looser. The most complex thing we have as a coaching staff is giving everyone quality work, it is a team with a lot of hierarchy. We need everyone to feel that they can be close to helping the team,” he said in a conversation with journalists.

The performances of Cavani, Merentiel and Langoni: “It is important that Miguel and Edi scored goals, it is important that Luca came on, was as decisive and contributed as he did.”

The complicated reality in Zone B of the League Cup: “I would have liked to be in the top four, we didn’t achieve it. In this final stretch with the start of the Sudamericana and all the games that come up we will try to achieve that goal of entering the first four of the championship.”

The next matches: “In Boca you always play finals. They are all important games. How do we plan them? Each one is the most important of the semester: North Central, San Lorenzo… Afterwards, we will see how we will face the Sudamericana crossing with the issue of height and the trip (Nacional Potosí in Bolivia). “We are still putting together the logistics with the club because it is complex.”

The seriousness to face the game against Central Norte: “We prepare it as we always do. Since Federal A had not started, we had the information about the friendlies. We were able to give that to the boys and what I value most and what makes me happy is the seriousness with which the group took this game. The importance he gave it, how they came out to play. I think that logical difference ends up appearing between the categories, but always with respect for the Central Norte players. “I’m leaving happy with the commitment and because they took the game as a final.”

Aaron Anselmino’s good performance: “Aaron’s performance is not a surprise, he is a very young boy with a very big future, who understands, who lives football. In the concentrations he is watching football all the time. So, when you have the seriousness of a great person even though you are a boy and you focus well on where you want to go, he is very good.”
