Boca Juniors, in a strange context, with an interim coach like Mariano Herr\u00f3n, although with the conviction of always being the protagonist, will begin its path in the Copa Libertadores this Thursday as a visitor to Monagas Sport Club, in Venezuela, in a match for the Group F.<\/p>\n

the meeting will be played from 9:00 p.m. in the city of Matur\u00edn<\/strong>located 500 kilometers from Caracas, will be refereed by the Brazilian Wilton Sampaio and televised by Fox Sports.<\/p>\n

Group F began this Wednesday night in Colombia with a 1-1 draw between the local Deportivo Pereira and Colo Colo, from Chile.<\/p>\n

Boca was crowned six times champion of the Libertadores <\/strong>and will start the tournament that reveals him with a complicated present. A week ago Hugo Ibarra was fired from the technical direction, and was replaced by Herr\u00f3n, who left the Reserve division, led the team against Barracas Central and achieved a 3-0 win in the Professional League (LPF).<\/p>\n

Although several names are mentioned to succeed Ibarra, in a management carried out solely by Riquelme, the good impression left by Herr\u00f3n and the positive responses to Barracas Central from several players who were at a very low level, meant that there is no rush to find to the new coach.<\/p>\n

Herr\u00f3n will direct in the Libertadores and also on Sunday against Col\u00f3n for the domestic tournament, in a role that he fulfilled in the 2020 edition of the main club tournament in South America.<\/p>\n

Boca should not be surprised by Monagas, a team that is presumed to be the weakest in the group, with Colo Colo being the main rivals to beat to pass the phase and Pereira in second place.<\/p>\n

Monagas, directed by Jhonny Herrera, lost last Friday with Carabobo by a comprehensive 3-0 <\/strong>in a match valid for the eighth date of the Venezuelan First Division League (Futve) and does not have scary players of hierarchy.<\/p>\n
