Miguel Russo sticks to his formula as Boca visit Rosario Central | OneFootball

After the FIFA break, Argentine football action returns, and in this context, Boca visits Rosario Central for the eighth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. With the recent results in mind, Miguel Ángel Russo decided that he had to repeat the same formula that had already brought him success in previous matches, and based on that, he chose to stick with his lucky charm. “They’re decisions,” he often says…

The 12-match winless streak is now a thing of the past, and currently, Xeneize has racked up three consecutive victories against Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, Banfield at La Bombonera, and Aldosivi in Mar del Plata. In the two away matches they had to play, there’s a common denominator that will happen again this time when they head to the Gigante de Arroyito.

The fact is that Russo decided to take 30 Boca players to Rosario. Just as he did for the matches against the Lepra from Mendoza and the Tiburón, the coach resolved that a large delegation, practically the entire squad, should travel to the city in Santa Fe, regardless of the fact that several of them will later be left out of the final matchday squad.

Among the group of players traveling this Saturday are Ander Herrera, Tomás Belmonte, Kevin Zenón, and Lucas Blondel. The first two are just now returning from their respective injuries, while the others are much lower in the coach’s consideration for various reasons. Nevertheless, all of them will travel with the final destination of Arroyito.

In addition, three of Boca’s four goalkeepers will travel: Agustín Marchesín, Leandro Brey, and Javier García, but not Sergio Romero. This once again makes it clear that Chiquito is not in Russo’s plans, even though the former Lanús player is coming off an injury and the youngster is expected to be the starter. The former Tigre player is third in line, in case something happens to the former Los Andes player.

Ultimately, the coach has decided that for this trip to Rosario, the same method that worked in the trips to Mendoza and Mar del Plata will be used again. The objective is clear: for the group of players to become even more united, which will be fundamental in achieving another victory, which would be the fourth consecutive one in domestic competition.
