Ibarra gives indications in the middle of the match against the Brune (@fotobairesarg)

After the doubts that fall against Workshops in Cordoba, Boca Juniors celebrated again at La Bombonera: 3-1 defeat Platense for the fourth date of the Professional League. And Hugo Ibarra, with a change of scheme, succeeded, especially in the second half, to accompany the result with the presence of his team. For him, however, there were not two sides of the same Xeneize: “It’s one team. We quickly reached the opener, and quickly Platense equalized us. And the changes had to do with the oxygenation of the midfield,” he said of the income from Medina and Equi Fernández, which injected fluidity into the game.

Everything, within the framework of a particular meeting, for the return to the stadium of a legend like Martin Palermo, just ex-negro mate in the years of peak glory. “Martín’s was very moving, a celebration. He deserves it, really great,” he said of the striker, whom he picked up on the opposing bench and with whom he deeply embraced.

During the press conference, there was a moment of laughter. It is that one of the journalists present asked the DT of Formosa what had changed concerning the stumbling block in front of the T, in addition to the fact that a week ago he had chosen not to speak to the media . This is where Ibarra burst out laughing and humorous.

The difference from one game to another is that I didn’t speak, huh. Play with our people, at home, with our public… We have one more player, it’s them. The footballers did very well, in a difficult game. Platense is a complicated team. Sometimes we had a good match, the conquests arrived. We ended up with a well-deserved 3-1,” he said.

THE MAIN DEFINITIONS OF IBARRA

Riquelme’s support this week: He said he hopes he will lead the first team for 20 years

“What vice said, thank you, nothing more. And keep working.”

Benedetto’s return for next date, after complying with suspension

“Today we scored three goals. Miguel (Merentiel) scored one, Nico (Figal) scored one and Beto (Briasco) scored another. We’re happy that a striker can convert. Darío will join, he works and he will join the group”.

The schema change that worked for him

“The change has been seen by everyone, with one more midfielder in midfield. They are getting closer, they have no more touch, to find the exit from the sides. This allows the team to feel more secure in defense and in midfield; when you play with three forwards you are more open”.

Óscar Romero’s level and his role as fourth midfielder

“Óscar is a national team player, he has a great foot, he dribbles, he puts a ball into space easily, he likes to play freely, but he is determined to help the team. We achieve that, he works well, we see him happy”.

Luca Langoni’s contribution, which led to Boca’s first goal

“Luca started very well, doing diagonals, behind the back of the last line, he ended up a little tired. It has become cramped. But I see it very well.”

The competition for the great team that Xeneize has

“I like that they complicate me, that’s how it has to be. Then it’s up to me to resolve myself and give my best on the pitch. The competition generates that”.
