Leandro Paredesmidfielder and captain of Bocaanalyzed the 2-1 defeat against Students -the first in 2026- and sought to draw positive conclusions from what happened on the second date of Zone A of the Apertura Tournament 2026.

The midfielder assured that the first goal of the locals It was decisive because it undid Ubeda’s plan. “Their goal made us enter into a disorder that was not what we had planned. Luckily it happened to us on the second date of the tournament and we have to think about recovering for Sunday and doing better. After the goal we found a disorder that we cannot allow, but it will help us to try to find peace of mind and continue doing what we had planned. We give away those 25 or 30 minutes. We didn’t start the second half well, but then we did well,” he began analyzing.

Paredes also explained what he lacked in Boca to bring something from La Plata. “We were desperate for the goal. Feeling so good in the first 20 minutes and finding ourselves with a goal against It made us lose our minds and fall into that disorder. These things can happen, so we have to try to improve, nothing more. Their situations were almost all due to our mistakes. Marchesín played a great game and that’s why they didn’t score more goals against us,” he declared.

Finally, praised Ángel Romero and Santiago Ascacíbarnew reinforcements, and also the youth players who had to play due to the multiple injuries affecting the squad. “Surely the reinforcements will provide hierarchy and a lot of quality. They have a very good track record and I hope they can train starting tomorrow alongside the group. We have all types of players. Íker (Zufiaurre) played a great game and so did the guys who entered. Hopefully we can help them continue to grow. “I told them to enjoy it, that it was something that is not forgotten, because you don’t experience this many times.”.
