It is not just another team. It is not just any training. She is the one who will go for the Seventh, for glory, for the most beautiful of all. They are the players who will come out to defend the fans’ dreams, their dreams, this obsession that has been in their search for 15 years. And Jorge Almirón knows it. For this reason, he wants to go to Rio with everything defined. And so, this Tuesday Boca’s 11th already stopped for the final against Fluminense.
Those chosen by the DT in this trial were: Rosemary; Advíncula, Figal, Valentini, Fabra; Medina, Pol Fernández, Equi Fernández, Barco; Merentiel and Cavani.
In his choice, one might say, there are few surprises. And a confirmation: the presence of Nicolás Valentini as center back in place of the suspended Rojo. In short, that is what the coach was waiting for to put his 11 on the field, the one he already had in mind: for the defender to recover from the overload in the left calf that he suffered against Racing so that he could pair with Figal in the rear
So it was. Valentini gave the first sign on Monday, when he was already able to join his teammates, after not even being summoned against Estudiantes. And this Tuesday, he was already able to be part of the starting team. That’s why, If everything continues like this, she is set to play the game of her life on Saturday against Fluminense.
The rest, sung
Then, the team has those who were known to be there. In that sense, since the semifinals with Palmeiras that Almirón found the cup version of Boca of him. And then, also before the final, in this first rehearsal, he maintained the 4-4-2 that had been giving him good results.
In defense, what has been said, in addition to Valentini as the second center back with Figal, Advíncula moved as right back and Fabra, on the left. Two fixed. Nobody doubts that the Peruvian and the Colombian will be the headlines.
In the middle, the usual distribution, with Medina on the right, the Fernández in the center and Colo Barco, who entered for a while against Estudiantes, on the left. Thus, the coach also maintains the physiognomy of the Boca finalist, with everyone available and without physical discomfort.
And in attack, he also confirmed a duo that was a permanent fixture. Because although there were no longer any doubts, with Benedetto injured (he has not yet joined the group), the Cavani and Merentiel tandem was out of the question. Also, for performance, of course.
