Hugo Ibarra
continues to test surnames in his search to try to find a team and an operation for the
Boca
match against the Institute.
Today will be the day to finish polishing an eleven that had many variations during the week and that still has no certainties.
The reason?
The usual: low level.
In the tests on Thursday and Friday there were some players who repeated themselves in defense (the change of Weigandt for Advíncula seems sealed) and others who were modified.
In the central circle,
Alan Varela returned in place of Ezequiel Fernández
, although they later moved together in minutes of the tactical that was carried out.
In addition,
Sebastián Villa
, who had played for the substitutes in the first test, returned to the starting eleven in the place that Miguel Merentiel had occupied with the failed attempt to modify the tactical drawing to a 4-2-3-1 with the former Defense and Justice as a false winger on the left.

Thus, with many unknowns still to be resolved, what seemed like a ratification of names in some positions
is now all uncertainty
, after a bad practice and with few signs of recovery
after a worrying presentation against Banfield
on the last day of the Professional League.
In the midfield there are many players but none with the strength to win the position:
Payero, Medina, Juan Ramírez and Pol Fernández
can surround the two juniors from the Inferior Leagues.
And Oscar Romero?
One of those who seemed to have a safe place for him can now pay for the weakness of the midfield.
To include someone there, the Paraguayan must come out, perhaps one of the few with a different rhythm of competition at the beginning of 2023.
With
Benedetto under observation and Luca Langoni as the best attacking player of the year
, the gaps are being filled without great performance.
And with an aggravating circumstance: there are only three games left (Instituto, Olimpo for the Copa Argentina and Barracas Central) before the premiere for the Copa Libertadores.
That is why Ibarra and company know that even before the performance, the surnames must first appear in Boca.
And that's why DT tests and tests.
