Boca will go for the seventh Copa Libertadores in its history, with a confirmed home coach for 2022. It is true that he had many mistakes, that his team does not look or attack as the Boca fan wants, but he was given a new opportunity and he should take advantage of it . He is the highest winner in his history and for that reason he deserves total respect.
