The Boca players Arruabarrena is keen to get back | OneFootball

After a thorough analysis, Rodolfo Arruabarrena decided to trim down Boca’s squad and be honest with those who will not be taken into account. However, there is a group of players the coach believes can be brought back, whether because of physical issues or a drop in form, they lost ground and playing time in the team.

Among the players hoping for a new chance is Chilean Carlos Palacios. After a full semester without official competition, the Renca native is working at high intensity under the watchful eye of the Vasco, who has the clear objective of helping him regain his level to definitively boost the team’s attack.

The current situation at the blue and gold club demands immediate results and performances worthy of its history. In this setting of maximum pressure, the coaching staff began drawing up a plan of action to get key pieces back into shape after they had been pushed to the margins, in some cases because of injury. The most urgent case was, without a doubt, that of the forward, who did not play any minutes during the first half of the year.

Carlos Palacios, one of the players the Vasco wants to bring back.

After six months of training separately, the attacker returned to working with the rest of his teammates at the Ezeiza training ground right at the end of the semester and started preseason the same way.

His prolonged absence was one of the issues constantly analyzed by the club’s leadership, which at the time fully trusted his qualities when signing him. Today, he is being seen taking part in tactical drills with a rigor and intensity that spark hope ahead of the demanding schedule to come.

For the Boca coach, restoring individual attacking flair in the final third is an absolute priority of his tenure. He knows perfectly well that having an offensive option of that caliber will give the Xeneize substantial alternatives for the competitions ahead.

The Vasco is rebuilding Boca’s squad.

The statistics from the previous semester showed a worrying lack of surprise and freshness in the final third of the pitch. That is why the coaching staff’s firm bet is to carry out a progressive but forceful football readjustment. The goal is for him to reach the restart of official action in optimal condition, becoming a true in-house reinforcement for the squad; otherwise, he could leave in this transfer window.

Palacios is not the only player Boca wants to bring back

The ambitious reconditioning plan is not limited exclusively to the aforementioned attacker, but also includes other key creative players in the squad. Kevin Zenón and Alan Velasco are also under the coaching staff’s clinical scrutiny, which considers it imperative for both to recover their best level. Arruabarrena understands that the collective machinery and functioning of the Boca side depend, to a great extent, on the inspiration of these midfielders.

Alan Velasco is looking for his best version.

On one hand, Zenón has already shown himself to be an indispensable box-to-box midfielder thanks to his enviable end-to-end dynamism. On the other, Velasco has that unpredictable dribbling ability that is vital for breaking down the compact defensive blocks Boca usually comes up against.

Kevin Zenón was pushed down the pecking order in the team last semester.

Looking ahead to the upcoming schedule, the Xeneize is well aware that it does not need to frantically scour the transfer market if it can get its own stars back to full fitness. If this trio manages to recover its best physical and technical form, the team will experience an undeniable leap in quality.
