After the defeat against San Lorenzo on his debut, Almirón appears for the first time in La Bombonera and is forced to get his hands on the formation.
Jorge Almirón’s cycle in Boca got off to a worrying start. Not so much because the coach’s debut ended in defeat during the visit to San Lorenzo on the 11th date of the Professional League Tournament, but rather because the team showed no sign of reaction despite the beginning of the new era, repeating the same mistakes that dragged on since the beginning of the year.
Boca’s full agenda in 2023
Now the DT will have his first time in La Bombonera when he receives Estudiantes for the 12th day and he knows he has no margin of error if he wants to keep any chance of fighting for the championship.
The game against Pincha will be played on Saturday, April 15 from 7 p.m. at Alberto J. Armando, ahead of the team’s second presentation in the Copa Libertadores, which is scheduled for next Tuesday, at home against Deportivo Pereira.
THE CALLED OF MOUTH VS. STUDENTS
As if the collective performance and result weren’t enough bad news, the loss to Ciclón also left Boca several casualties: Bruno Valdez he suffered a muscle injury playing the rival goal and has been ruled out of the game against Pincha pending a specific diagnosis; Nicholas Figal has been suspended for eviction and Luca Langoni It will be subjected to examinations to determine if it has a major problem after being replaced by any inconvenience.
On the other hand, the one who joined the squad after not being considered during the Hugo Ibarra cycle valentine boat, which the coach saw up close in Monday’s Reserve game and was able to start the rotation.
THE FORMATION OF THE MOUTH VS. STUDENTS
The biggest problem Almirón has in getting the eleven together for the game with León is deep down: without Figal or Valdez, the only two natural central defenders available to the coach are Nicolás Valentini and Facundo Roncaglia. That way it seems unlikely that the line of five will be repeated, although the coach could push Agustín Sández to the center, as Ibarra had once done.
On the other hand, with Langoni more out than in, Norberto Briasco could have his spot from the start if the DT decides to support the three forwards.
In any case, the eleven are still unknown and after the very weak collective performance in the New Gasometer it is not excluded that changes will be made in all lines.
