The coach of Boca, Miguel Ángel Russo, previewed what will be his team's debut in the Club World Cup, which will be played in the United States and will mark the beginning of his third spell in charge of the club. The debut against Benfica comes at a complicated moment for the Xeneize side, which is immersed in a sporting crisis. "We are at a stage in which I haven't defined the team or the starting eleven. We seek to make the training sessions as intense as possible until Friday. We hope to arrive in the best possible way on Monday," the coach stated.

His controversial departure from San Lorenzo

Many believe that I spoke with Román before the semifinal with San Lorenzo and that's not the case. I had made the decision to leave a long time ago

All my life I have talked about soccer with Román. There are many people with whom I have soccer conversations. I have a close relationship with many and I don't say it. I respect all the directors, but those who were footballers have a different way of managing things. No one is better than anyone else
