Let me enjoy this…: Úbeda caught off guard after Estudiantes win | OneFootball

Boca achieved one of the most important victories of the year after the 2-1 win against Estudiantes de la Plata at Estadio Uno. The team led by Claudio Úbeda secured three crucial points in the qualification for next year's Copa Libertadores, just in the week before the Superclásico.

But one of those matches is against River at La Bombonera, next Sunday, November 9, and one of the journalists asked Úbeda about the possibility that against the Millonario, there might not be a double forward in the starting eleven and instead opt for the inclusion of another midfielder. The coach didn't like it much, so the first thing he said was "let me enjoy this result", with a laugh.

The Sifón spoke at a press conference, highlighting several positive aspects of the Xeneize against the Pincha, especially describing it as a "super intense match", and also emphasized that it "gives us a little peace of mind regarding the two remaining matches."

Nonetheless, he noted that the alternative between playing with one or two forwards is something that "we analyze depending on the circumstances the match gives us", and also clarified that they won't rule out a possible change in formation.

Úbeda and the praise for the keys to victory

Boca had two standout players who were very important in the victory against Estudiantes: Exequiel Zeballos and Ander Herrera. The Sifón highlighted that "Chango's performance makes me happy", as "he is a noble boy with incredible physical and technical potential". The forward scored the first goal of the match, was crucial against Barracas with two assists, and also scored against Belgrano.

Regarding the Spaniard, he stated that "he is a super intelligent player", and highlighted that "he has the virtue of being intelligent and having game reading." It should be noted that Herrera once again received a foul that was sanctioned with a penalty, just like with Defensa y Justicia.
