Boca Look at the position table and numbers return a smile. Covering in Zone A, it is with one foot in the round of 16 of the Opening Tournament. He won 7 of the last 8 games with a stumble that was very hard before Newell’s in Rosario as a result of the forms. The duel against Barracas Central gave him the possibility to resume the path of victory. And also, he left two aspects that could converge in the old figure that already the sand from lime.
In the positive item, Fernando Gago highlighted a new success On the shores of the Riachuelo, where Boca won 19 of the 21 points he played With a single tie, on the 1st date against Argentinos Juniors. His team beat Hurricane (2 to 1), Independiente Rivadavia (2 to 0), Aldosivi (2 to 1), Central Rosario (1 to 0), Defense and Justice (4 to 0) and central barracks (1 to 0). And he also defeated Alianza Lima (2 to 1) in the rematch of phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores, a dream that ended up truncated in the penalty definition.
“We become very strong in our house, with our people, the team has a very good racing of victories, we know what it implies playing in the Bombonera, the support of the fans is fantastic and we have to continue taking advantage of it,” said the press conference coach.
The story is different in alien rodeowhere he added 5 points over 15 at stake and also fell in Lima, in the first leg of maximum continental competition against Peruvians. Gago emphasized about it, but it is not an exclusive issue of its cycle. Only in November he could cut the streak of eleven games without victories as a visitor. It was 2 to 0 against Sarmiento. Before this clash in Junín, he had only been able to win in Santiago del Estero (4 to 2) still with Diego Martínez as a coach.
Nevertheless, There is another situation that is evaluated in the mouth And it has to do with the volume of play. Beyond the triumphs, the team does not convince and the superclassic appears as a great exam in the short term. On Sunday, April 27, in a monumental loaded, he will visit River. And although the Red Banda rival is not at his best, the fans expect a victory that helps heal the wound of the elimination of the Libertadores.
Gago does not agree with criticism. “The team came in a very high margin of improvement, where he felt comfortable because he had control of the game in several facets, both of local and visitor, with a streak of victories in a row, we had a good first half,” said the coach.
There was a tactical variant with a scheme change. On 4-2-3-1, Carlos Palacios returned to his hitch position, after his lack of the first training last week and the subsequent punishment against Newell’s, but Milton Giménez moved to the right to the detriment of Kevin Zenón. Exequiel Zeballos had a new opportunity. For now, Edinson Cavani, who is still dragging a drought in the rival area, is the highest reference. How long? He is the captain, he has a trajectory, but the rules are the same for everyone. At the bank his compatriot Miguel Merentiel expects.
