It is not news that the calendar, at this point, is tight. That the FIFA date intersects with the definition stage of the League Cup and in turn with the first two dates that will mark the start of the Libertadores and the Sudamericana. Therefore, finding a day to continue a suspended match, as is the case of Estudiantes-Boca, is the same as finding a needle in a haystack. That is why it is beginning to become more and more important when and how those remaining 63 minutes will be played.. Although Xeneize has a very clear position.
As Olé published, in principle Boca could not play until after the last date of this first phase of the League Cup. But in these hours, The chance arose strongly that the meeting could be completed next Wednesday the 27th, the day after the closing of the FIFA date, so as not to have to go to the end, with all the results in place and even with the possibility (according to how both teams arrive) of speculating on a score that could qualify them for the playoffs.
However, In Boca for now they remain firm in the idea of not playing next Wednesday either. Mainly, because I would still not have the players named to the national teams (Advíncula in Peru, Valentini in the Senior National Team, Medina in the Sub 23 and Briasco in Armenia), since none of them would make time to return that day in conditions to play.
So, this is a sporting disadvantage that the leadership, with Román at the helm, would not be willing to accept. “Why should we give in, losing very important players for the team?” was the response they gave to Olé. In short, beyond the Briasco case (today it is not taken into account by Martínez), the others are starting players. Even Valentini, due to Figal’s injury and Rojo’s situation (he still hasn’t played a minute in 2024).
The match was suspended due to the seizures suffered by the player Javier Altamirano.
In the end or an emergency plan
If it is not this Wednesday, as Boca suggests, it will not be possible to play after San Lorenzo, between the dates 12 and 13 or 13 and 14, because precisely in those weeks, starting on April 3, the Copa Sudamericana starts for Xeneize and the Libertadores starts for Estudiantes and the first two games of the group stage will be played. Therefore, it would be impossible to play between San Lorenzo and Newell’s or Newell’s and Godoy Cruz.
The clubs should also agree on when to play it.
As things stand, the match could only be played between the last date (4/14) and the quarterfinals (4/21), the week of Wednesday the 17th, the only week that does not have a group stage day scheduled. of South America. except that the League resorts to an emergency plan. What would?
That the last date of Zone B (at least the matches of the teams with a chance of qualifying) be postponed to that Wednesday the 17th and thus giving rise to Boca and Estudiantes facing each other on Sunday the 14th, day that was stipulated as the closing of the regular phase. In this way, whatever the result of those remaining 63 minutes, everything would be defined during the week, in the last day, with no room for any speculation. Be?
