Claudio Úbeda on his only change, responds to fans’ frustration | OneFootball

The Boca coach spoke at a press conference after the 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo at La Bombonera and responded to the boos from the stands at the end of the match. He also explained why he made only one substitution in the 90 minutes.

"Sifón" Úbeda stated that he didn't see the need to change the team for most of the match because he believed the performance was good. "I thought the team was playing well, maintaining San Lorenzo's pace and creating chances at the opponent's goal," he explained.

The only change came in the final minutes when he decided to replace Adam Bareiro with Iker Zufiaurre. "I saw him tired, quite tired, and that's why I decided to make that change," he added about the departure of the Paraguayan forward.

The draw once again generated anger among Boca fans, who saw the team off with boos. Regarding that reaction, Úbeda assured that he understands the public's demands.

"The first thing we do is self-criticism because the fan is not satisfied. The fan needs the team to win, not just play well," he stated.

The coach also made it clear what the team's goal is at this moment. "We know the demands of the Boca fan. The first thing we want is to change the opinion the fan has about us, and that is done by working," he concluded.
