“This situation is not critical. It is a football match that we played badly and lost, as we played well and won. Today we see if we can change the score,” Marcelo Gallardo warned in the preview, after falling into the last two presentations.
Nunez’s players came to this match after falling 2-0 to Independiente in the last date of the Diego Armando Maradona Cup, which prevented them from reaching the final of the tournament, where their group was awarded Boca, their classics. competitor. “I have faith in the possibilities that football offers you. We have to erase what we did, focus on who we are and what brought us here, and know we have no margin for error. Tomorrow we will be a completely competitive team.”
For this commitment, the Colombian doll will not have Jorge Caraskal, who saw the red card in the first leg. Although he did not confirm it, one possibility is that Chilean Paulo Diaz will enter and change the plan. “We need new people physically and mentally to do a game of defensive toughness, and it’s not just a last line. The idea is that we can keep the target at zero because we continue to create goal positions. The last two games without goals are not normal. We have to improve efficiency if we want to have potential.” He commented at a press conference.
The coach, who had previously supported Franco Armani, despite his mistakes in his last two matches, was betting on Fabrizio Angelere to be the left winger instead of Milton Casco.

Therefore, we will use our mental strength so that our team can enforce its philosophy of playing again, ”the Portuguese strategist warned after winning at Avellaneda.
