A New Way to Train

The former Real Madrid midfielder, now at the helm of Boca Juniors, is known for his innovative methods. As part of post-match recovery, Gago introduced mental agility exercises to keep his players sharp. The club shared a video on social media with the caption: "New week, new goal!" In the footage, stars like Edinson Cavani and Ander Herrera are seen tackling math equations with pen and paper.

Mixed Results in the League

Despite remaining unbeaten after three rounds, Boca Juniors sits ninth in its group with one win and two draws. The team needs to build momentum to avoid another forgettable season like 2024, where their best achievement was qualifying for the Copa Libertadores preliminary round.

Key Signings for a Fresh Start

The arrivals of Ander Herrera and Agustín Marchesín have sparked optimism among fans. Unfortunately, Herrera was injured in his highly anticipated debut and has yet to play at La Bombonera. The Spanish midfielder, who has often spoken about his admiration for Boca Juniors, recalled his father's words: "Only Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United can match Boca's prestige." Meanwhile, Marchesín bolsters a position that has been under scrutiny for a while. The experienced goalkeeper stated, "Joining Boca is the biggest challenge of my career," winning over supporters instantly.

Cavani Leads the Way

As Boca Juniors seeks silverware, Edinson Cavani remains their attacking spearhead. The Uruguayan striker scored in the team’s sole victory this season and is expected to play a crucial role. When "El Matador" is in top form, Boca’s competitive ceiling rises significantly.

With Gago's unique approach blending physical and mental training, Boca Juniors is aiming to regain its dominance in Argentine football.
