, did not dodge the questions during the press conference after the defeat against Racing by 

in the final of the International Super Cup that the Avellaneda club won.

The match ended in controversy after a penalty awarded by referee Fernando Rapallini after confirmation of the VAR.

However, the strongest words of coach

 did not have to do with what happened in the game, but rather because of the situation that

 at the La Ribera club.

The goalkeeper, whose pass belongs to Boca until June 30, 2023, signed a pre-contract with

of Brazil to join on July 1.

 hundred percent

. I work with 29 players or 30 players and I want them committed. Did I answer your question, right?", the coach pointed out forcefully when asked by the journalists present.

We lose a match that was open for both of us," the coach complained.

. Unfortunately it was like that. We can't complain anymore," he lamented.

"

. We had options, perhaps the goal was not open for us or for them. That's how games are," he quoted.
