absences and surprises from another controversial election

The Ballon d’Or, The Best FIFA Awards, even the Martín Fierro! All elections are cause for controversy and discussion when subjective arguments are called into question. And the ideal eleven put together by the Professional League and informed through social networks has many points to agree with and others, of course, to disagree with.

The Boca world took it with a wink, a sign of hope after a 2024 with more regrets than joys: Milton Gimenez He appears in the starting team as one of the eleven best players in the championship. The tank-style center forward, but with a lot of quality, started the competition playing and scoring many goals for Banfield (four in five games), and only arrived at Xeneize after the break caused by the Copa América.

In one move he was in charge of destroying that myth that states that “the Boca shirt is not for everyone.” Although he had to fight for the position with Edinson Cavani and Miguel Merentiel, no less, he earned his place and entered everyone’s consideration. Regarding the League, there were 6 goals in 20 games with Xeneize, or 10 goals in 25 games if his start with Taladro is added.

In the XI that the League put together, Giménez shares attack with Franco Jarathe forward from Belgrano who at the age of 36 established himself as the tournament’s top scorer playing for a team that reached the middle of the table. The Cordoban born in Arsenal de Sarandí, with a globe-trotting career that made him champion in Portugal, Greece and Mexico, scored 13 of the 33 goals his team scored, with an average effectiveness of 21 percent, as a result of his 61 shots. , 29 of them on goal, according to a report from the LPF.

There are three players from Vélez in the ideal XI of the Professional League, and the feeling is that there could be more representatives of Fortín: Valentin Gomez, Thiago Fernández y Claudio Aquinochosen as the best of the tournament, are the names highlighted by the tournament.

The archer Rodrigo Reyfrom Independiente, won the fight against Tomás Marchiori, the Velezan champion who suffered fewer goals than anyone else but who had less work than the others. Rey finished the tournament with 65 saves and 15 clean sheets, while Marchiori had 62 and 15. Another standout was Hernán Galíndez, from Huracán, with 54 saves and 13 clean sheets.

In defense, in addition to that crack chick called Valentín, there are Franco Pardofundamental in a Union that fought high, and German Pezzellathe world champion who showed his hierarchy despite the decline of all of River. And Kevin Lomónaco? The sometimes brilliant performance of the Rojo player was enough for him to be included among the substitutes.

The middle of the ideal team of the League has Thiago de Vélez and a trio of those who cannot be denied their role as motors of their teams: Rodrigo Tesurifrom Atlético Tucumán, Santiago Ascacibarby Estudiantes de La Plata, and Rodrigo Echeverriaone of the Chileans from Huracán who made all of Parque Patricios dream of a title.

Among the substitutes are goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez (Huracán); Gastón Benavídez and Rubén Botta (the only ones from Talleres); Marcelino Moreno and Juan Soler (Lanús); Kevin Lomónaco (Independiente), Rodrigo Atencio (Central Córdoba), Christian Ordóñez and Braian Romero (Vélez).
