Sarmiento is gearing up for an important match against Boca Juniors on July 16 in the Copa Argentina. This match will mark the debut of Rodolfo Arruabarrena as the head coach of the xeneize club, adding an extra layer of excitement to the encounter. The confirmation of this round of 16 clash has forced Boca to accelerate their preparations, as the team has less time to adapt to the new coach's ideas. The match will take place at a neutral venue, and while the time has yet to be determined, expectations are high among fans of both teams. This match will unfold amid the decisive phase of the FIFA World Cup, which could affect the availability of some key players. Arruabarrena, known as El Vasco, will face this challenge without the certainty of having Leandro Paredes, who may be committed to the Argentine national team. Boca's squad is currently on vacation, with pre-season set to begin on June 18, meaning time to implement their strategy is limited. This change in the schedule also impacts Boca's planning, as they originally expected to debut in the Copa Sudamericana on July 23. Now, Sarmiento will have the opportunity to test their strength against a high-caliber rival before that important continental match. With the pressure of a tight schedule, it is anticipated that Boca's coaching staff will seek to strengthen their squad with experienced players in the transfer market, to tackle the demanding season ahead.
