The Uruguayan striker edinson cavani his debut this Wednesday as a player of Argentine Boca Juniors as a starter for the rivalry that will be against his team National of Montevideo.
As confirmed by the club itself in the run-up to the round of 16 second leg of the top club tournament in America, the sky-blue international will be part of the starting eleven appointed by Jorge Almirón to try to break the 0-0 established in the first leg .
The ‘Matador’ not only made his debut in the Xeneize club, but also made his debut in the continental tournament, as he did not even play the Libertadores in his Danube stage.
In an interview with El Canal de Boca on Monday, the former soccer player for Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Valencia, among others, commented that he feels “good” to face this Wednesday’s game , despite the fact that “he always the first days” in any club “are the ones worth” for what is related to the move, the search for a home and the adaptation of the family.
Cavani arrived at Boca Juniors after voiding the final year of his contract with Spanish Valencia and signed with the La Ribera entity until December 2024.
Despite the fact that he was officially presented on July 31, the coach did not call him up for the first leg in Montevideo, but he worked normally with his teammates for the rest of the week.

The gunner may have played in 2005, when he was a member of the Uruguayan Danube and this team played in the group stage. But his coach, Gerardo Pelusso, did not include him in the league in good faith for the competition. And a year later he was already in the first team, but the team did not qualify for the tournament.
