Boca Juniors coach Jorge Almirón revealed the real reason why he chose not to field Peruvian national team player Luis Advíncula. "Changes are also carefully considered," he expressed.

Boca Juniors achieved a bitter 1-1 draw with Lanús in the last round of the Professional League Cup, which triggered many fans to criticize Jorge Almirón's decision not to line up Luis Advíncula from the beginning.

In the press conference, the Xeneize coach stated that one of the reasons he did not field Bolt or other players is because he had the mandate to dose the team, especially because an important duel against Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores is coming up.

"Changes are also planned. Some players also did not play the last match and we needed to accumulate minutes. The team from the previous encounter did not perform as well today. It was about dosing a little, distributing that effort. Now, we have an important match on Thursday. It's four matches in 13 days, and for us, it was a certain risk, but I had to decide to field some players who hadn't been playing or who did it against Defensa y Justicia," he explained.

Similarly, the coach of the Blue and Gold hinted that the Peruvian national team defender would be one of the starters for the upcoming match against Verdao in the continental championship.

"Reaching this important stage (Copa Libertadores semi-finals) without game rhythm was quite complex. I was able to take care of several players who I believe will play. Every duel is valuable, and today was a tough one," he said.
