The hours at Boca Predio pass with
old new faces
in front of the squad.
Because after the departure of Miguel Ángel Russo, the coach diver Sebastián Battaglia put on it, with day-to-day jobs very close to the First, with the knowledge of many of the footballers who today nurture the first team and with part of the body coach (Mariano Herrón, Fernando Gayoso and Alejandro Blasco) who had the outgoing DT.
But with another idea.
Or at least, that's what emerges from the first tests.
Battaglia's first sketches have three major modifications.
The line of 4 seems to be the one that came to stay and not the 5
that Russo put into operation during 2021. Thus, Advíncula, Weigandt, Izquierdoz, Rojo, Zambrano, Lisandro López, Fabra and Sández will fight for a place in that line.
All.
But in both exercises he leaned towards the offensive cut sides such as Advíncula and Fabra.
The titular central duo is clear.

The other change point is
in the middle of the court
.
In the first two trials the DT did not stop Esteban Rolón in the center circle.
First he did it with
Jorman Campuzano -whom they
seek to recover in the level-, and then with
Alan Varela
.
With Agustín Almendra recovering the rhythm (he will play in Reserva) and Pulpo González as an option at hand, the Battaglia thing is not just a rehearsal: it seeks to clear up doubts about individual levels but also from which pieces a new collective structure can be built.
The loss to Estudiantes marked the end of Miguel Russo's cycle.
(Marcelo Carroll)
The tactical drawing changed from 4-3-3 to 4-3-1-2
with Juan Ramírez as hitch.
Anyway, anyway, the roadmap finds
Cristian Medina
in the starting eleven and seems to have a conclusion in him: he is one of the few flyers who can step on the area aggressively.
In the absence of a goal, something key.
The attack
The last great variant is that Battaglia seemed to be inclined to play with the boy
Luis Vázquez
, the only nine available until Nicolás Orsini can be full after his rehabilitation.
In this way, the attack mutated from two quick surnames such as Villa and Pavón or with Briasco and Pavón to only have the site secured for the center forward.
Who will be at your side?
It may be the former Huracán or the Cordoba, who has not yet resolved his future at the club but to whom the doors of different markets were closing.

The work in the last practice will end up outlining a team that will try to make strong of the voices of experience in the last line and the freshness and intensity of those of the attack.
It is true: there are not many more options at hand for the coach
with Villa in conflict, Cardona injured, Salvio in the last stage of recovery and other footballers who had been postponed in the last time by Russo such as Exequiel Zeballos.
Beyond the challenge of returning to a necessary victory to avoid being at the bottom of the tournament table (Boca has not won 10 games), the great challenge for the new cycle is to transform the team so that it not only competes, but also dominates your rivals and
"be the protagonist and go to the front"
.
It seemed a commandment of the DT.
And in that direction it goes.
Debut
Boca will receive the Board of Trustees at the Bombonera on Saturday at 8.15pm and with Fox Sports Premium television.
