The search for the central midfielder begins to enter its final stretch for Boca coach Sebastián Battaglia, who has highlighted on the calendar on October 3, the day of the Superclásico against River at the Monumental, as the deadline to solve the unknowns that He has about his "ideal eleven" despite how much the scene has changed since he took over the technical direction of the team.

Jorman Campuzano appears as the headline to face Defense and Justice

, in what would be a sign of ratification for the Colombian.

Until now, in the short cycle of Battaglia, the Colombian accumulated 63 minutes between the game with Platense and that of Rosario Central, where he returned to the title.

They observed one of the midfielders that Miguel Russo had recovered on his arrival in 2020 and was observed as a starter in Boca, Super League champion, with a notorious decline in football, also crossed by a complex family situation.

For Battaglia, he was the first player on the squad to position himself in that determining sector of the midfield.

But, when he took the reins of the team, Campuzano was taken off the court by a personal issue - his wife lost one of the children she was expecting - and after that shake it was difficult for him to regain ground.

Something that he could only have on the last day.

If he surrenders against Defense and Justice, the former Atlético Nacional de Medellín will start with an advantage on the way to what is to come in the domestic tournament and also in the Argentine Cup.

It is that in him they see the player who mixes recovery and exit.

It would be a solution for the DT, who so far has not managed to secure Agustín Almendra and Juan Ramírez, the other two that he sees as key pieces for his midfield.

The club also bets on Campuzano.

So much so that he rejected a proposal from Athletico Paranaense in this market as insufficient.

The footballer also shows signs of wanting to continue: he began to resolve his situation to become a national before the end of the year.

For now, for the coach, he is the player to explode immediately while the other

five on

the squad

seek their best levels

Esteban Rolón was the fifth from the start against Patronato and Racing

, but he did not finish rounding up good tasks.

And

in the last meeting he did not even enter a minute

.

But also in the week the DT began to test it next to the heart of the central circle (as he did in Huracán with Claudio Yacob next to it) and not stopped from

five

alone.

In order for him to be positioned in the center circle, he must have other midfielder characteristics at his side: much more fighter than elaborate, something that Battaglia has already modified in the last half. 

Alan Varela is on a plateau in his performance.

Russo had already identified it and it was also evidenced by Battaglia, who observes the boy from the Lows with a lot of potential but with conceptual errors for the position that generate unnecessary risk.

He started with Platense, entered 17 minutes against Racing and 30 against Rosario Central. 

Every time he had to play, the DT put the experience of

Pulpo

González

at his side

.

But also, with the inclusion of Aarón Molinas, another "boy" was added to whom Battaglia does not want to overload responsibilities ahead of time.

Thus, while waiting for confirmation, Campuzano knows that he has his great opportunity to stay with a place that has been

provided

without establishing himself among several surnames.

As for the eleven to receive Florencio Varela's men, Battaglia has Agustín Rossi in mind;

Marcelo Weigandt, Carlos Izquierdoz, Marcos Rojo, Agustín Sández;

Diego González or Cristian Medina, Jorman Campuzano, Juan Ramírez;

Aaron Molinas;

Norberto Briasco and Luis Vázquez.
