Claudio Úbeda reflects on the win over Barracas and discusses his changes | OneFootball

The head coach of Boca, Claudio Úbeda, spoke at a press conference after the team's victory over Barracas Central. The Sifón stated that the result and the team's response are "super important".

"The truth is that it was difficult for us in the first half with that formation of 5/4 defenders that Barracas proposed, to get inside, and we had to look for alternatives, that's why we made quick changes, and the results were seen," said the coach.

He also commented: "I highlight that we had patience in the face of adversity, we didn't panic, and the team found the equalizer and immediately the second goal, and we had the calm to control the game in another way. Many things went through my mind, changing earlier, or other possibilities of change."

On the other hand, he referred to the modifications: "The intention of putting Advíncula was so that we would have more reach on the wing and get the ball into the area, we immediately found the 2 goals, and we didn't need to get more disorganized, and we had control permanently. They found the goal in a completely individual play, a long-distance screamer that surprised everyone, and there they tested us to resolve that defensive phase that Barracas knows how to do."

Moreover, Claudio Úbeda highlighted his initial strategy: "We occupied the area well when it came to scoring the goals, which we reached a lot from the side, and we lacked the final punch, today it went in. Their goal was 100% individual and not from an elaborate play. We believed from game control and with the double 9 behind the center-backs, we could unbalance."

Similarly, the coach emphasized: "What I highlight most today is that both 9s scored, that is super important, to regain confidence, to believe in what we were doing, which we believe we are doing well."
