Édinson Cavani on one side and Germán Cano on the other, the clash of ideas between the brains Valentín Barco-Pol Fernández and Ganso-Jhon Arias, and the face-to-face of the '1' are the expected duels of the Copa Libertadores final 2023 this Saturday between Boca Juniors and Fluminense.
Boca Juniors and Fluminense will meet at the Maracanã in an unprecedented duel for the crown of America with a variety of highly valued figures, some of them returning to the region after several years in Europe and others looking to make the leap to the old continent.
Fernando Diniz, 49, has made Fluminense one of the best teams in Brazilian football since the middle of last year when he took over to replace Abel Braga. And his success, based on an offensive and close to the traditional 'jogo bonito' style, was such that the Brazilian Confederation (CBF) chose him as interim coach of the Seleção in July to replace Tite.
Jorge Almirón, on the other hand, arrived at Boca dressed as a firefighter at the beginning of April and with moderate acceptance from the xeneize fans. The team slowly consumed itself in flames due to poor results, which led to the dismissal of coach Hugo Ibarra, and the name of Almirón, 52, appeared as one of the options after Gerardo Martino's "no", who was then the coach targeted by Riquelme and his advisors.
Valentín Barco and Guillermo "Pol" Fernández are Boca's thermometers. If they are performing well on the field, the Xeneize tends to thrive.
The architecture of the blue and gold game starts in the boots of the midfielder Fernández, 32. And his best complement is the irreverent Barco.
Fernández has good interior play, with good mobility, clean exits, and distribution. Barco roams the left flank and at 19 years old is Almirón's creative card, the different player, from whom a luxury, a snap of the fingers capable of unlocking a game is expected.
Paulo Henrique Ganso and the Colombian Jhon Arias are the shining men in 'Flu'.
