Russo’s Remarks Spark Boca’s Revival

Boca Juniors achieved their third consecutive win in the Clausura by defeating Aldosivi in Mar del Plata, as reported by Olé. Coach Miguel Ángel Russo shared his views on the key factors behind this positive change, reigniting hopes for Libertadores qualification at La Bombonera.

Russo highlighted the importance of communication among team members, stating, “Communication is very important because we are all participating, and it allows us to grow as a group. Not losing makes us stronger and raises our level.” He also pointed out the significance of set pieces, which have recently proven effective in their games.

The match at José María Minella Stadium saw Leandro Paredes provide a crucial assist for Rodrigo Battaglia. The midfielder explained that the team’s turnaround began after their loss to Huracán, following a team meeting that restored a sense of accountability and confidence among the players.

Boca currently has 45 points in the Annual Table, positioning them in the Libertadores race, although their standing is insecure. River Plate surpassed them with a 2-0 win over San Martín de San Juan later that Sunday, and Rosario Central could also take their spot in the next match. With no other tournaments to focus on, every Clausura game has become vital for Russo’s team.

The coach stressed that building and maintaining trust within the squad is their biggest challenge moving forward. Just a few weeks ago, the team seemed lost, but now, with three wins and revived confidence, Boca is starting to reestablish its identity. The journey ahead remains lengthy, but this revival gives Russo and his players hope.
