After the three days of isolation after the last date of the Professional League, the contest that ended up being a great frustration for the followers of the Academy, the squad led by Fernando Gago is on the way to the playoff game on Wednesday that comes against Tigre, on the Huracán court, to decide who Boca’s rival is for the Champions Trophy, on Sunday, November 6.
The day before, the Academy players performed a gym routine, after which they moved to the auxiliary court to develop movements with the ball, after which they were summoned for this morning at the stadium.
The highlight was the presence of right back Iván Pillud, recovered from the hamstring strain in his left leg that forced him to leave the team during the classic with River, in the game that reached 300 with the albiceleste shirt.
Consequently, Pillud will be the starter against Victoria’s men, while the coach will have to assess whether Enzo Copetti is present for this commitment or whether he will look for an alternative to replace him.
Meanwhile, President Víctor Blanco estimated that “not entering an international cup would have been a failure, but losing a match for missing a penalty was not,” alluding to the defeat with River.
“Not entering an international cup, that is a failure, not losing a game for missing a penalty,” said the senior director of the Academy in dialogue with the supporter radio program ‘Esto es Racing’.
