Jorge Almirón, coach of Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors beat Unión this Friday and celebrated in front of their people in the League Cup. Marcos Rojo and Miguel Merentiel were the authors of the goals on a night that was suspense due to Mauro Luna Diale’s partial tie. A night in which the team returned to victory and its people were able to experience what will be the final of the Copa Libertadores on November 4 once morest Fluminense at the Maracaná.
Although he was satisfied with his team’s performance, he assured that there is still a long way to go to continue growing: “We are missing out on defining what we have because the team creates them and the forwards also generate them. “The team is growing and showing a great level.” And in this sense, he was encouraged to give a prediction for the great international duel: “You see a team on the field, everyone runs, everyone shows up and the team generates. At the moment we all expect, the plays will happen and they will go in.”
Next Tuesday, the La Ribera team will face Racing in the classic and Almirón anticipated that for that duel he will make a rotation in the headlines: “I have to take care of the boys, I would surely like to repeat (the team), but I have to see how everyone recovers and it is quite complex to be able to repeat all the games so as not to risk physical integrity”, and added: “We will dose some so that everyone is well, because also those who have to enter are adding good games.”
Furthermore, one of the queries was aimed directly at the health of Marcos Rojo, who left with left adductor ailments at halftime once morest Unión. But, the DT was calm: “We had contemplated that Marcos was going to go out to take care of him. He came out with a discomfort, but I hope it is nothing serious.” It should be remembered that the center back will not be able to play in the final of the Copa Libertadores due to suspension, since he was sent off in the rematch of the semifinal once morest Palmeiras.
Regarding his future in the institution, beyond what happens once morest Fluminense at the Maracaná, he avoided giving details: “I think regarding it every day, this is very big. We have to think regarding next Tuesday, then Saturday for the League Cup, every game and commitment is important and I only think regarding that. I am very happy on a day-to-day basis and I hope everything continues on that path.”
This Friday’s result helped Boca Juniors break a streak of six games without a win and five without a win at home, including all competitions. In addition, in the Annual Table it was two points away from the qualifying positions for the 2024 Copa Libertadores. The next match will be nothing less than the classic once morest Racing on Tuesday, October 24 at the Cilindro de Avellaneda and then on Saturday the 28th it will receive Students in La Bombonera. But, minds are already set on November 4, when they will face Fluminense in the final of the Copa Libertadores at the Maracaná stadium.
