Miguel Russo’s surprising call in Boca’s draw with Central Córdoba | OneFootball

Last Sunday, Boca was left empty-handed against Central Córdoba, who tied the match 7 minutes before referee Yael Falcón Pérez blew the final whistle. The team led by Miguel Ángel Russo had a great first half, but fell short in the second half.

Regardless of what happened at Brandsen 805, on Monday (taking advantage of the team's day off) Russo went to the Fleni Clinic to undergo a series of tests, but as they did not yield favorable results, he had to be hospitalized. In the late afternoon, the coach was discharged and must continue to be monitored.

While the health of the coach is the most important thing within the blue and gold world, before he returned to the medical center where he has been undergoing tests following a urinary infection that kept him hospitalized for a few days at the beginning of the month, a fact was revealed that occurred for the first time since he has been coaching Boca.

In the match against Central Córdoba, there was only one change in the team. Yes, although it may seem surprising, he had never done something similar. Since the five substitutions were enabled, the minimum that Miguel Ángel Russo made were three: Auckland City, Atlético Tucumán, Huracán and Rosario Central. In addition, he never touched the formation during the first half, and only made one change in the ET (Milton Giménez entered for Miguel Merentiel against Huracán). The rest, during the local tournament, always from minute 61 or later.

It should be noted that the player who entered the most times in the second half is the Chilean Williams Alarcón, who had eight appearances from the bench. Even, the former Huracán was one of the most requested by the fans on the Sunday night that ended with a draw against the Santiago team.
