Boca he won it in the end. In Figal. The friendly took place before Workshops with a saving header from the best player in a match that had ups and downs for the team Diego Martinezbut that undoubtedly ended up being a starting line for what is coming in a week, the debut in the League Cup.
If it was difficult for the Gigoló team at the beginning, it was because they did not make a foothold at the Kempes. First in defense, where except for the good performance of Figal, then he suffered a lot behind Blondel and Saracchi. In fact, that way the local could have hurt, although if it didn’t it was because of the badgreat interventions by Chiquito Romero. very safe
And then in the midfield, sector in which the PT did not work, the triangle formed by Pol Fernández, Campuzano and Bullaude, perhaps the most disjointed of the three. The exception in the central circle was Juan Ramírez: good with the ball, vertical and above all precise in his passes to Saracchi, with whom he ultimately formed a partnership that gave results. They combined a couple of times, the winger reached the back and threw the center back: in the first, only Bullaude missed with his left foot (he was in front of the goal and threw it to the wing) and in the second he could not finish in the best way, but the rebound was left to Langoni, who resolved in Lobster style: a bomb in the middle and up for the 1-0.
Boca Juniors – 21-1-2024
Langoni made it 1-0 for Boca
For a moment, Boca settled. With the result in favor, Campu worked better as a stopper and Pol continued with his task of 5 bis. Perhaps the part that the team continued to lack was that of the forwards. But how, if Langoni scored a goal. Yes, it’s true, but it’s also true that before that (and after the goal too) he was a little imprecise, like Merentiel, who didn’t have any front left and even the toughness of the preseason doesn’t allow him to display his full potential. its speed and power.
Possibly with Monday’s newspaper it will be said that Martínez’s restructuring in the ST did not go well. At least moving. Because he left aside the initial scheme and tried the 4-4-2, with Pol and Campu as double 5, with Bullaude on the right, the new Janson on the left and with the Beast and the debutant Cavani as double 9. Boca lost weight in the middle and in attack, and even at times he was left unprotected on the sides again. This is how Saracchi’s penalty came; This is how the Talleres tie came.

It could also be said, obviously, that Boca did not lower his armsthat the coach rearranged the team again with variations, that he once again relied on Romero’s saves (tremendous hand in hand with Bustos) and that He won it with a dead ball with Figal’s header.

Martínez’s locomotive began the journey in and apparently in these three friendlies it has a clear destination. The DT will have to accommodate some wagons, it is true, it has not even officially debuted yet. But at least in these preseason games he already gave some indications of what he intends on this trip. From the new scheme that he installed and that Boca had not been using (4-3-1-2 with hook), passing through the sides with arrival and danger (although he will have to adjust the defensive part) and even the high pressure, among other characteristics that he gave to the team.
The Gigolo train has already left. The first station will be on Saturday 1/27 in Vicente López, in the debut of the League Cup against Platense. Who gets on?
The summary of Boca vs. Workshops for a friendly match
Benedetto: “The day I have to leave I’m going to say it”
Darío Benedetto entered when the clock showed 71 minutes in place of Miguel Merentiel and thus spent some time on the field in what was the 2-1 victory against Talleres in a new preseason friendly for Boca. After the match, Pipa spoke to the press and was clear about his continuity in the club: “The day I have to leave, I think I have enough personality and I don’t need anyone to come out and speak for me, I’m going to say it myself.. There is nothing, it is reality, but I repeat again, the day there is something and I make that decision, they will know it from me and not from the press.” Read more.

Figal’s word after the winning goal
“We faced a very good team, who was going to generate intensity for us. It was a back-and-forth game, we were able to move forward and it gave us confidence.. We were satisfied with the first half of Salta. We were coming off a tough preseason. On this field we were able to better display the football that Diego wants“, analyzed Figal once the match was over. Does playing with the changed profile in the central defense make any difference to you?”I don’t care about playing in either of the two positions at the back.“he responded. Read more.

The signs of Diego Martínez in the formation of the starting 11 of Boca vs. Workshops
There are decisions that mark preferences, some that relegate players who at the time were indisputable (Frank Fabrafor example) and others that confirm others that were questioned (Jorman Campuzano y Juan Ramirez) as important parts of the brand new process. Furthermore, the chosen scheme once again has the presence of a hook and also ratifies the confidence of the chosen footballer, in this case Ezekiel Bullaude, figure and scorer against Gimnasia y Tiro.

Ribonetto spoke before the match
Since he took over as coach, the team has played two friendlies. The first: two games against Argentino de Monte Maíz, with a 0-0 draw and a 4-0 victory in the second. Later, against Cobreloa of Chile, achieving a resounding victory of 6-0 in the first match and 3-0 in the second.
In a talk with ESPN he said that he has opted for “mixed” formations to provide opportunities to all members of the squad: “We mixed it up because I like to work with everyone equally, for me there are no starters and substitutes. We want everyone to be trained in the same way and with the same concepts”. In addition, he anticipated that the team that will face Boca is already formed, although he will first communicate it to the players.

Boca’s casualties at the start of the year
Although it is the beginning of the year and it may be the opportunity for many to show themselves, Boca will not have Cristian Medina, Equi Fernández or Marcos Rojo at its disposal. The first two mentioned are with the Argentine Under 23 National Team in preparation for the Pre-Olympic that will begin on January 20. Besides, He already said goodbye to Valentín Barcowho executed his exit clause so that, after his participation with the national team, he can fly to England to join the Brighton.
As to Rojo, the defender underwent medical tests that showed a tear in the internal calf in his left leg. The native of La Plata will have approximately 21 days of recovery and will miss the start of the League Cup.
The latest precedent in Boca and Talleres
The most recent game between Boca and Talleres dates back to a few months ago, quarter finals from Argentine Cup 2023in Mendoza. And Xeneize was a triumph from the penalty spot after equalizing 1-1 with goals from Gastón Benavídez and Edinson Cavani.
How does Talleres get to the friendly against Boca?
The Córdoba team is coming off a positive 2023. They managed to qualify for the Copa Libertadores and finished second in the Professional League. 2024 began with several changes to the squad, Rodrigo Garro was sold to Corinthians and the coach Javier Gandolfi He went to Independiente del Valle. In his place, the reserve coach took over Walter Ribonetto who will make his debut in the club’s first team and the beginning of the tough tests they will have to get within reach will be nothing more and nothing less than against one of the heavyweights of Argentine football, such as Boca.

How does Boca get to the friendly Talleres?
Xeneize began with the set-up for a new year of competition and a few days later it made Diego Martínez official as the team’s new coach. With the arrival of the new coach, the Ribera team played their first friendly last Saturday against Gymnastics and Jump Shooting and started on the right foot in his first preseason challenge since They beat the Salta team 1-0 with a goal from Ezequiel Bullaude. The bad news is that Marcos Rojo was injured during the warm-up and instead made his debut with the Xeneize shirt Cristian Lema, who arrived from Lanús.

Both games were Xeneize triumphs, the first ended in favor of the Ribera team that beat Pincha by 1-0 with a goal from Darío Benedetto while the second match was a victory by 2-0 with goals from Norberto Briasco and Román Fernández.
