The moment of Mouth that Edinson Cavanione of the most beloved until very recently, plays 79 minutes, performs again far from his level, is replaced and is fired with the cruelty of whistles. They are daggers for the Uruguayan, but also for coach Claudio Ubeda and for the team in general. If the fan reacts like this with someone so special, pay close attention!
Racing wasted a great opportunity in La Bombonera against this Boca full of doubts, fears, all transmitted by the posture on the field, made up of a majority of performers with traits of balance and branding than creativity and change of pace. That’s why the xeneizes almost didn’t reach the goal. And the excuse for the absence of Leandro Paredes is not accepted: Also with the world champion the team had been playing like this.
Coach Ubeda is disoriented. Cavani’s ownership was not logical after so much time almost without playing. The Uruguayan ended up exposed, he didn’t shoot and people got tired. The coach was also whistled. It will be necessary to see if the scorer and coach can overcome the situation. For now, Boca closed yesterday the incorporation of Adam Bareiro, a center forward who seems to be arriving to play from the beginning.
The worst of Ubeda was in the construction of the midfield, with four central midfielders: Tomás Belmonte, Santiago Ascacibar, Milton Delgado and Williams Alarcón. Everything to protect yourself. Thus Cavani and Miguel Merentiel were isolated. And Boca did not generate any dangerous arrival.
Racing starred in the second half and, although it did not crush Boca, it ended up deserving a little more, even though it did not cause many chances either. Adrián Maravilla Martínez did not weigh much. The clearest chance came from Santiago Solari, who was not good in front of goal. In any case, the Academy did not dislike the tie: in the end the cameras captured Gustavo Costas applauding as soon as the referee declared the epilogue…
Ubeda, in turn, showed his face at a press conference and accepted: “I understand the fan’s anger because we know how demanding the Boca world is. From order and attitude you can begin to build. I am the first who wants to win and convince the fan, to return to that string of triumphs from last year.” Playing like this won’t be easy for him.
Now, after six games played, Boca is sixth with 8 points in Zone A of the Apertura and Racing, eighth with 7 in Zone B. Two lean harvests. But the day is not over and several matches remain to be played. They could fall even further.
