Boca suffered a tough defeat on Saturday against Tigre at the debut of Fernando Gago as a coach. The DT played it for the references such as Chiquito Romero, Marcos Rojo and until the return of Paul Fernandez. But it had no results. And in the game, beyond the defeat, the decision that the captain was not Rojo, but Edinson Cavani. Decision of the coach, the players or the club?
«Gago opted for two references like Chiquito Romero and Marcos Rojo who did not have a good performance, Gago did not want to gamble on whether they will continue on the team. He said that everyone risks their position on a day-to-day basis. This first match leaves more doubts than certainties.”said Brian Pécora, a journalist who follows Boca’s daily life on TyC Sports.
Regarding the captain’s ribbon, he gave information. «Beyond the fact that Rojo returned, his captaincy was not guaranteed. There is an institutional decision after Cavani’s renewal. Gago delegates that decision-making to the squad. Bet on them making their own decisions. I don’t know that he was the one who determined that Cavani was the captain.”Pécora said.
«With an adverse result I could have dosed the loads and yet Cavani ended up playing the 90 minutes. Like Rojo and Advíncula. Without a doubt Cavani will be there on Wednesday, because he finished well. There is wear and tear with age, but Cavani was not playing for the FIFA Date. It has to do with the logical recovery at his age.”added the journalist.
For the duel with Gimnasia, Gago is thinking about possible changes to the starting lineup and there is a potential return that could surprise Boca fans. “The big question is whether Pol Fernández will be able to get into the starting 11, going from being expendable to starting”.
Fernández was left out of the previous games and seemed not to play again after announcing that he will not renew his contract, but now he could return to the starting team. «I do not rule out the appearance of a player who seemed sentenced like Pol Fernández. “He got into the midfield, where there were many tests.”said Pecora.
As for the other references, there would be Gago’s bench. «Last week we ventured a little based on what we were able to find out and ended up ratifying Chiquito Romero, Marcos Rojo. I understand that I can hardly swerve now. I understand that there is going to be a boost and another chance for these players.”said the journalist.
