That’s it Fernando Gago. Disoriented, serious, worried, in his debut as a xeneize coach, with his Mouth was thrashed in the league by this modest tiger that before the match it was the worst in the table and one of the teams that will be eliminated if the relegations are not cancelled. It’s 0-3. It was very difficult. Worst debut for Gago, impossible. Furthermore, on Wednesday the continuation of the Argentine Cup will be played against Gimnasia, the only competition in which they have a chance to be champions.
Gago in his first formation chose to support the questioned Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo. He also decided to form a 4-3-3. In the middle, with Cristian Medina as the right midfielder, with Ignacio Miramón as the 5th and with Kevin Zenón on the left. And in attack, with Brian Aguirre and Miguel Merentiel as wingers and with Edinson Cavani as center forward.
Chiquito and Rojo did not provide security. Merentiel seemed uncomfortably attached to the band. And Kevin Zenón, the clearest of the midfielders, did not influence the move from the center to the left. Because of the limited Tigre, Boca de Gago was uncomfortable, pressured him, stole the ball from him and hurt him. It marked him. It was on a Nehuén Paz shot that deflected off Rojo and past Romero, who Boca protested for an alleged handball.
Of course, Tigre were not awarded another goal, a very controversial one, at the end of the first half: Blas Armoa ran in, beat Rojo easily and scored. Through VAR they disallowed it due to an advanced position that didn’t show the picture later. Very strange…
Gago moved Zenón to the right, replaced Aguirre to the left and released Merentiel. And Boca grew. He immediately had his first clear chance, but Felipe Zenobio made a great flight and deflected Aguirre’s header. And the goalkeeper also took another headbutt from Cavani. Boca also caused concern with the entry of Exequiel Zeballos. However, he did not tie it and, when he got tired of searching, he was not protected from behind.
Tigre had another impact with a set piece that led to Agustín Cardozo’s second. And behind Boca, Sebastián Medina shot past Romero in a one-on-one match and wrapped up a 3-0 victory for Matador de Victoria. It was a terrible debut for Gago as Boca coach. He failed in the starting eleven. Then he corrected it. But it is not enough.
