Saturday's image worried the entire
Boca
World
.
And not only because of the team's performance, but also because of the poor state of the playing field.
It is that the flood that fell on the City of Buenos Aires wreaked havoc on the La
Bombonera
lawn
.
Especially in the half court that overlooks Casa Amarilla, and especially in the area of the substitute benches,
a problem that seems to have no solution
.
An image that speaks for itself ... (AFP).
In December 2014, during Daniel Angelici's first presidency, the club had raised 100% of the grass on the court to
modify the drainage system and level the playing field
.
At that time, the photo of the bare field was surprising and Boca's move to
sell 14,280 seedlings at a value of $ 200 each
was newsworthy
.
The work in the Bombonera, in 2014.
Thus, the Xeneize raised $ 2,856,000, which at that time represented something like
$ 330,000
.
However,
the work was not business
.
Much was invested and little was improved.
In 2018 the first final of Libertadores with River was suspended and in 2019 it was necessary to use dryers in the previous duel with Godoy Cruz.
This is how the field responded against Argentines (courtesy Jorge Junes).
Now, after the crossing with Argentinos at the weekend
in Boca, they decided to accelerate the works to improve the drainage of the Bombonera once and for all
.
The ball did not run smoothly and in Boca, who already came with the idea of improving the drainage, they decided to speed up the times to get down to work.
The works, initially, were to be carried out during the last recess. But given the (certain) possibility that the Bombonera was the venue for the
Copa América
, the leadership and the Football Council had decided to postpone the works until the end of this year. Finally, the Cup was played in Brazil, Boca was quickly eliminated from the
Libertadores
(against Mineiro, in the first key after the stoppage) and the situation that occurred on Saturday led
Riquelme
and company to seriously rethink the possibility of starting right now with the whole operation.
What is a fact is that Boca will have to move its premises during the two months that the works last.
In principle, the idea of the club would be not to play its games in another stadium in Capital Federal, but in
Ciudad de la Plata
, where it comes from defeating
River
on penalties in the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup.
Another option is to play a local in the interior of the country, in provinces such as
Santiago del Estero, Córdoba or San Juan
, where Boca played
13 games in the last nine years
.
In Boca they have already contacted AFA to consult the steps to follow.
For now, on Sunday he will visit
Estudiantes
in La Plata and seven days later he must receive the
Board
of
Trustees
, for now, at the stadium to be confirmed ...
