On Date 11 of the Professional Football League (LPF), Boca faced San Lorenzo at the Nuevo Gasómetro and the result was 1-0 in favor of the Blaugrana team with a goal by Pol Fernández against after 9 minutes of the first half . It should be remembered that Jorge Almirón made his debut as coach in the Xeneize team, who took over from Hugo Ibarra after very poor previous results (he had accumulated 1 victory in the last 5 matches of the tournament). Now, the Ribera team accumulates 2 consecutive defeats.
Faced with this scenario, the new coach proposed a very different team from the one he had been playing in recent games, since he preferred to go out on the playing field with a much more defensive scheme in order not to suffer in defense, one of the team’s weak points. .
With this result obtained at the Pedro Bidegain Stadium, the Ribera team was ranked 15th with a difference of 10 points over Martín Demichelis’s River, which has 24 points, with one game less.
Next, we present the next 5 games that Xeneize will have after the game against San Lorenzo:
It will be Jorge Almirón’s debut at La Bombonera and the Xeneize public is expected to show his support in this new era that began in today’s match. Ideally, in this match, the coach already begins to show something of what he wants to capture with this team and look for the three points that he needs so much.
It will be Boca’s debut at home in this new edition of the Copa Libertadores. Almirón’s team must get the three points against one of the Colombian teams in the tournament and for what was done in the initial match against Monagas in Venezuela.
It will be a very demanding match for Almirón’s team since the Gigante de Arroyito is not an easy place to get the three points despite the irregular present of the team led by Miguel Ángel Russo.
It will be the first match in a very important series for the club and to the credit of Jorge Almirón. This will be a very hot match due to the recent clashes between the two (two trophies that the Academy raised against Xeneize).
The most complicated match for the Ribera team in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores as they will face a great from Chile and as a visitor. This match will be the last of the first round of the group stage of the maximum continental tournament.
