translated from Spanish: Sebastián Battaglia was introduced as boca’s new coach

After the confirmation of the departure of Miguel Ángel Russo, Boca officially introduced Sebastián Battaglia as the new coach. Coming from the reserve, the former midfielder has the support to be in charge of the team until the future of the team is defined, which may be with him or another coaching staff. In a press conference, he appeared together with Jorge Amor Ameal where he expressed the clear objections to the club. “We want to work and do our best so that the team can have an idea and identity of the game that we want to promote to our players. From today we work on that.” With Russo I am grateful for the place he gave us to work from the reserve. Now I will try to put Boca in the place it deserves and for that the player who is best will start the matches because we are going to put it. Although sometimes it is more important who comes from the bench than the one who started the game,” he added.
Regarding the speculations about higher chances for inferior players, he clarified. “Here is a group of very good professionals and guys that we already had in the reserve. The idea is to move forward and get to know each other as quickly as possible and make it difficult for me to put them on is important for the kids and also for the big guys.” With Román (Riquelme) we talk continuously in the Boca property and we are in permanent contact, but beyond the responsibility I have, I will also enjoy this moment. And I don’t want to comment on the past but look forward, to the future,” he said. Another issue has to do with the low yields and the chance of emigrating from several of the members of the squad. “The player who wants to be here will stay, because we know what glory is at this club, but today you don’t win with the shield. And the fundamental thing for that is to put together a strong squad, to defend to the death the colors of the most important club in Argentina”.
