In the midst of the elimination of Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores, with a highly criticized performance against Santos of Brazil, who won 3-0 in the second leg of the semifinal, there was the feeling that Edwin Cardona was not used for crucial matches. It happened in that game and it had already happened in 2017, in the final that the xeneize lost to River Plate at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid (Spain).
Cardona has been praised on several occasions for his assists, elegance and goals. However, with Miguel Ángel Russo he was not in the game when it was most needed. What happens?
Well, in ‘Espn’ they went further. Something happens to Edwin Cardona with the Argentine coaches. For the sample, José Pékerman, Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Pablo Guede, Martín Palermo, who have directed it and the midfielder has not felt the first option.
And when asked about what is happening with Cardona, Óscar Córdoba appeared to give his concept. The former coffee keeper is a xeneize symbol, as he won everything in Boca, including two Libertadores Cups, an Intercontinental Cup and Argentine League championships.
Córdoba said that “he would have to be in there to know the subject”, he also dared to compare it with another historical one from Boca. “Keeping distance, (Cardona) is a potential Riquelme. He has a temperament, he is a different player, who wants to play and if he has to kick, he does. A ’10’ like that, with temperament, is important ”.
“I do not know what happens in the day to day so that Cardona does not consolidate and be a starter, that every time Boca plays they say that Cardona plays and ten more,” Córdoba finished.
