Russo’s first-choice line-up for the Clásico against Racing | OneFootball

Miguel Ángel Russo began to practice with the team for the match against Racing in a formal manner. This morning, he faced two teams in a football practice after yesterday's double shift, which focused on physical training. The technical director of Boca has time to define who will play from the start at La Bombonera.

Under a climate of tension due to non-football issues, the Xeneize squad trained this morning at the Ezeiza premises with their minds set on the upcoming classic against the Academy. Although the atmosphere feels the pressure of the press due to the team's poor present, which has not won since the new technical staff arrived, Miguel Ángel Russo tries to keep his players isolated from all that and focused on the goal of winning.

Leandro Paredes is preparing to be a starter against Racing.

Russo knows that he will put a stop to the criticism by winning, and that's why, thanks to the time he has to work, he began to prepare the team that will play in the Alberto J. Armando stadium. This morning, he stopped two teams, highlighting the departure of the goalkeeper, although it would be to manage loads.

The teams that Russo stopped

The technical director arranged for team A to form with: Leandro Brey; Juan Barinaga, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco; Milton Delgado, Leandro Paredes; Kevin Zenón, Miguel Merentiel, Brian Aguirre; Milton Giménez.

Team B formed with: Javier García; Luis Advíncula, Ignacio Miramón, Lautaro Di Lollo, Frank Fabra; Williams Alarcón, Tomás Belmonte; Malcom Braida, Alan Velasco, Exequiel Zeballos; Edinson Cavani. It is essential to note that this is a first test.

Leandro Brey was the starting goalkeeper in today's practice.

'Miguelo' will have time to finish defining who will play the match from the start, as there are 9 days left until the match. It is worth remembering that this weekend, the date will not be played due to the Professional League having prepared the calendar taking into account the elections that will finally not take place, but it was decided that the Copa Argentina matches that were not going to take place in another moment of the semester will be played.

Day, time, and TV of the Boca vs Racing classic

The team from the River will receive those from Avellaneda on Saturday, August 9th, starting at 4:30 PM at La Bombonera. The match, which corresponds to the fourth date of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, will be broadcast by ESPN Premium.
