It is early morning in Barrio La Liga, in Gregorio de Laferrere, La Matanza district. A few hours ago the game ended. Boca, with the agonizing victory of Unión and the mess at the end. But at kilometer 24 of Route 3 the result is anecdotal. There the trumpets and drummers sound at full rhythm, and the smoke from the vengeance does not allow seeing. No need: everyone knows it’s there. He just got out of the car. It is Luca Langonithe 19-year-old boy who fulfilled his dream of making his debut as a starter in the biggest club in Argentina, where he has played since he was a 7-year-old guru.

THE CLONE OF ZEBALLOS
A peculiarity of the striker: It has a physique and an appearance very similar to Chango Zeballos, which is asserting itself in First. Like the man from Santiago, it is to move through the ends and face, at pure speed. As he did last Sunday when entering against Barracas Central, standing on the right and putting together a pure trident of Inferiores, with Changuito and Vázquez, who had entered for Benedetto.
Langoni and Zeballos. Which is which?
Luca is a 19-year-old striker (September 2, 2002) who can officiate as a winger. One of his main strengths is speed.. In the Juniors he was champion with his category and has just had a great year in the Ibarra team. He was the replacement on several occasions for Zeballos.
