Russo on why he made only one sub vs Central Córdoba | OneFootball

Miguel Ángel Russo faced the media after Boca's draw against Central Córdoba. He explained why he made only one change and took responsibility for the result.

The draw of Boca against Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero at La Bombonera left more questions than answers. Boca was leading 2-0, but the game was tied towards the end and the crowd ended up feeling frustrated. In a press conference, Miguel Ángel Russo was decisive and took responsibility for the result.

The coach acknowledged that his team lacked "calmness and knowing how to manage the times and the ways", although he valued what was done: "Boca played a good game, on many levels and in many things. It's not that I'm leaving frustrated, but it was a game we could have won".

About the development of the game, Russo emphasized: "Argentinian football is like this, anyone can put three forwards however they like, they don't care about anything. If you score four goals it's fine, and if you can achieve a draw, better, that's what happened to us".

"It was my decision. I take responsibility for everything", he said, referring to the only change he made in the whole game: the entry of Alan Velasco for Brian Aguirre.

He also defended the physical level of his players, when asked if Boca ran out of legs: "That's an unrealistic view. How do you know that Boca lowered its level? For me that's not the reality. The ball was always controlled. We need to be smarter, tougher and firmer, that's the key to all this".

Finally, Russo thanked the ovation he received from the fans at La Bombonera: "Grateful to the people, we have to keep trying to find the best for Boca".
