After the shocking victory against Vélez in Liniers with a historic win, many imagined that in Boca the days before the Superclásico they would travel with the certainty of having found the eleven to play against River.
But not.
Miguel Ángel Russo rehearses, tests, changes and retouches.
Surnames and system, waiting for an important return in defense and looking for a better idea to receive Marcelo Gallardo's men on Sunday.

In defense, the DT awaits the final okey to have Carlos Izquierdoz available again, who was part of a tactical work on Wednesday, then he moved in reduced football to begin to have physical friction with his teammates and on Thursday culminated in soccer practice.
There is a certainty:
Izquierdoz will not be 100% for the classic
.
And if it weren't such an important game, he wouldn't be forcing his return after his intercostal injury.
They will wait for the central marker until game day, he will have a special girdle and if necessary, he will infiltrate.
Not even that way you can be sure that a pain will take him off the field quickly.
Once Russo knows if he will have the deputy captain, he will finish solving his defense.
Why?
Is that the duo Lisandro López and Carlos Zambrano (they played the last three games together) is still uncomfortable due to the lack of knowledge between them and the return of Izquierdoz will have to put one aside.
Will Russo reissue the López-Izquierdoz couple?
The idea of putting together a three-center lineup made the rounds during the week, but it seems unlikely.

At the tactical rehearsal on Wednesday, Julio Buffarini was the right-back.
Then
Nicolás Capaldo
appeared again there
.
On the left there are no doubts: Frank Fabra will be on the bench (Agustín Sández, full back of the Reserve will be added to the bench).
And another detail: Marcos Rojo's intensive work opens the door for him to at least be summoned for the weekend's crash.
The variants in the middle of the field coincide in one point: Campuzano will start.
The theme will be to surround him better with another characteristic of a footballer (Capaldo) or to add another player to a midfield without so many recovery players.
Will Alan Varela join the medium?
Will Agustín Almendra be a surprise?
The good work of Gonzalo Maroni against Vélez is not discussed indoors
, but the eventual modification responds to the need to strengthen an area of the field in which River has been strong since the generation of the game.
With Carlos Tevez as captain and fixed, Villa as the most destabilizing piece in hand-to-hand and with Cardona as the player with the most influence in Boca's attack (he scored 3 goals and had 8 assists so far in 2021), the offensive side does not seem to have big surprises.
Although Mauro Zárate and Wanchope Ábila will be on the bench (he recovered from his angina symptoms after a Wednesday with a fever).
