Tranquility reigns in Boca thinking about what will come / @bocajrs

Boca has two intense and marathon months ahead of it, due to the calendar that it must face either for the domestic tournament or for the Libertadores.
Precisely, Sebastián Battaglia, the coach, spoke of the start of the continental tournament and assured that “Bocó was hit by rivals such as Corinthians, Deportivo Cali and Always Ready from Bolivia. We know that the “group is difficult, but we are a great team too. The name Boca will always be there, we must forge our own path, making ourselves respected”.
Regarding the moment of his team, the DT “xeneize” maintained that “winning gives peace of mind, more in a superclásico (referring to the victory over River 1-0 in the Monumental), we know that it is a different momentum and that we hope to take advantage of it. We had a week to work where we weren’t all there, because of the qualifiers, but we’re already thinking about Saturday’s game (in the morning) against Arsenal”.
The idea of the coach for that game is to play with an alternative team, where of the usual starters there will only be Agustín Rossi, Marcos Rojo and Sebastián Villa, who returned to training yesterday after having tested positive for Covid.
The Peruvians Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano also practiced with the group, along with the Colombian Frank Fabra and the Paraguayan Óscar Romero, who have just played the South American qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar with their national teams.
The one who did not train alongside his teammates in the last three practices was Guillermo “Pol” Fernández, who worked differently due to a muscle ailment. If by Tuesday he is not recovered, Colombian Jorman Campuzano will play against Deportivo Cali in his place.
The possible eleven for the weekend would be with Agustín Rossi; Marcelo Weigandt, Nicolás Figal, Marcos Rojo, Agustín Sández; Alan Varela and Esteban Rolón; Sebastián Villa, Aaron Molinas and Exequiel Zeballos; Louis Vazquez.
It should be remembered that Rojo and Villa will not be able to play against Deportivo Cali on Tuesday, in the debut of the 2022 Copa Libertadores, due to being suspended by Conmebol for 6 and 5 dates, respectively.
For that match, Battaglia would do his best and the idea is to train with Rossi; Advíncula, Zambrano, Gastón Ávila and Fabra; Cristian Medina, “Pol” Fernández or Campuzano, and Juan Ramírez; Oscar Romero; Eduardo Salvio and Dario Benedetto.
