Russo explains why he made just one sub against Central Córdoba | OneFootball

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

The draw between Boca and Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero at La Bombonera left more questions than answers. The Xeneize was leading 2-0, but they were equalized at the end, leaving the fans frustrated. In a press conference, Miguel Ángel Russo was direct and took responsibility for the result.

The coach acknowledged that his team lacked "calmness and the ability to manage the timing and the way," although he appreciated what was done: "Boca played a good match, on many levels and in many aspects. It's not that I'm leaving angry, but it was a match we could have won."

Regarding the development of the game, Russo emphasized: "Argentine football is like this, anyone can put three forwards no matter what, it all seems the same to them. If you score four goals, that's fine, and if you can achieve a draw, even better, that's what happened to us."

"It was my decision. I'm taking full responsibility," he said, referring to the only change he made during the entire match: bringing in Alan Velasco for Brian Aguirre.

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

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