The goal cry of the boy
Luis Vázquez
was a relief.
Because the victory against the Board of Trustees cut a long slump that hurt confidence and that had ended up deciding on the departure of Miguel Ángel Russo.
Sebastián Battaglia's raging celebration had a lot of that.
But in private it was also highlighted that it was a goal
made in Reserve.
A bit that became the Bombonera but was rehearsed at the Boca Predio de Ezeiza.
For Vázquez, right before his former club, it was a mixture of sensations.
Because he waited for his chance and because he knew that there was an opportunity behind him that he should take advantage of, with DT filling him with support and tranquility.
But with the certainty of knowing that he had to specify in the absence of a
nine
(Nicolás Orsini is recovering).
Did.
"My teammates give me confidence, they advise me on a day-to-day basis. I am feeling calmer. The goal came right against Patronato ... it was a special game for me and the goal was scored. Many spoke to me and helped me, that's why I didn't shout the goal. I have an appreciation for Patronato, "
said the boy who came to the club in 2019 from the Paraná club reserve.

His first goal in ten games - just 4 as a starter - came at just the right time.
"I always try to generate my own plays. But I am also thinking more about the team, that they can supply me, waiting for a center,"
reviewed the tip who has the Polish Robert Lewandowski as an idol and who considers Exequiel Zeballos as a key companion.

"The 'Changuito' (Zeballos) always understands me, he tells me to be in the area that whenever he is there he will always throw it at me ... that's how it happened,"
acknowledged Vázquez, who will play again from the beginning against Platense. And that he will fight for a place when Orsini is full (the idea is that he can have minutes in Reserve against Racing) and that he had lost place with Russo, who he did not convince.
New to the First Division, but a scorer in the Reserve, the figure of the new coach was relevant for Vázquez.
And he told a conference about a short talk:
“Sebastián Battaglia works very well.
He always asks us to be protagonists and he asks me to always be in the area.
He tells me that one of them is going to stay with me, that when the goal is left and he hits the goal, that the problem is with the goalkeeper. "

With a clause of 12 million dollars
, with the interest of some European scouts who saw him on a roll in the Reserve but with his first steps in the First, the kid from Recreo for whom Boca paid 400 thousand dollars for 60 percent of your file knows that its time has come.
That this header to the net must be the first of many goals.
But the most important thing:
that on the substitute bench there is a technician who wants him there, in the area
.
"It marked us some specific things about the performance and the victory was necessary. There was an atypical game, with the rival team far behind, but we were lucky to be able to win, to cut that streak and hopefully from now on more triumphs will come."
Juan Ramírez and his role in Boca

Juan Ramírez arrived and became an important piece for Boca. Without Edwin Cardona (injured) and with still much to grow, the former San Lorenzo recounted the small modifications that Battaglia made with respect to Russo's orders.
"The tactical positioning was somewhat different, because I started more from the internal midfielder; with Miguel it was looser. Only that for now. We have little time to work and we must continue to improve,"
said the midfielder.
Aware that his left foot was key in the first games he played dressed in blue and gold, Ramírez also remains calm.
"The role of each player is to do things well when he enters. If I have to assume the role of game generator, I will do it the way they ask me and in the best way, committed, that's what we work for", he reviewed his place on the team.
And he added that "the victory against the Board of Trustees was necessary, a relief that we owed ourselves and that has to help us to have more confidence
.
"
"The coach changed, one had to adapt to that. We all started from scratch, I have assimilated that and I must do things well to have the chance to play,"
Ramírez closed at a press conference, who will start against Platense in Vicente Lopez.
