The Xeneize coach spoke after the 2-1 victory over Aldosivi in the Professional Football League (LPF) and showed confidence for the return match against Alianza Lima.

Boca Juniors is facing a crucial week for their objectives. After defeating Aldosivi at La Bombonera, Xeneize is preparing to host Alianza Lima in the second leg of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Preliminary Phase 2, where they need to come back from the 0-1 loss suffered in Peru.

In a press conference, Fernando Gago acknowledged that his team has a transcendental commitment next Tuesday. "We have a final and we're going to play it as such," the coach stated.

"I tell the fans to trust us, we're going to try to keep improving. It's normal for people to speak out, this club is like that, I've known it since my time in the youth teams. This team is going to give it their all to try to achieve a positive result, with conviction and confidence in what it means to enter the Copa Libertadores," he added.

Boca Juniors needs to overcome Alianza Lima to take another step towards qualifying for the group stage of the most important club tournament in South American football.

Xeneize, six-time winner of the Copa Libertadores, would recover key players like Uruguayan Edinson Cavani and Ayrton Costa for this match.

"Any positive result helps with morale. Now we know what we need to work on in the match, what we think the opponent can propose, and based on that, we need to have a better match. We'll recover players and we need a great result, I have a lot of confidence in these guys," Gago added in front of the press.
