Mariano Closs criticises Cavani’s Boca form: “He picks the bench” | OneFootball

In the match against Racing, he was a starter again after more than 5 months, but his performance left much to be desired and he was even booed by Boca fans. Now, looking ahead to the match against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Chivilcoy for the 32nd finals of the Copa Argentina, Edinson Cavani will not travel to Salta and will stay in Buenos Aires training at the facility located in Ezeiza.

First of all, it should be clarified that he has no injury, but his absence is because he will take advantage of the days to carry out various physical exercises with the aim of getting in shape to be in optimal condition for the next weekend. For this reason, he is not included in the list of players called up that Claudio Úbeda presented a few moments ago.

The truth is that Mariano Closs took advantage of his F12 program on the ESPN channel to express his views on Cavani. “He chooses when to jog, he chooses when to go to the bench,” he initially stated. A few seconds later, he added: “The specific weight makes a coach put him in.” And referring to this new development on Monday, the journalist expressed: “Now he’s not traveling…”

Not satisfied with what he had said so far, he doubled down and went further. “I think it’s a matter of the board of directors, not of preference,” stated the renowned sports commentator. And if it still wasn’t clear what his evident stance is at this moment, Mariano assured: “He’s not a player who plays well on Sunday and you save him for the next Sunday, he doesn’t play well.”

In line with what was mentioned earlier, he expanded his discourse on the matter. Regarding the attitude and what is reflected on the field, Closs revealed: “You see him protesting to the referees, separating. He’s more focused on pointing, the camera catches him and he’s tactically organizing.” And to close his harsh commentary on Cavani, he hinted: “Now, football-wise, nothing.”
