Lucas Beltrán and his great moment: he scored 4 goals in 3 games, but he turns red when compared to Julián Álvarez

In the three games of the last week he scored four goals

: the two yesterday against Godoy Cruz, one against Racing de Córdoba and another against Lanús.

Lucas Beltrán is in a state of grace.

By force of breaking nets (he has 10 goals in 50 games with the red band) and great performances, he earned his place and today he is the most decisive striker of River.

“

.

So that makes it easier to have options to convert.

And besides, I'm happy because we gave people joy, that even if it's 40 degrees, they always come,” Beltrán remarked on the Monumental pitch, after the end of River's rout of Godoy Cruz.

And he added: “We are constantly working, we are always looking to improve because this is a group that does not settle for anything.

And we keep working forward."

It is not the first time that in River they bring reinforcements

in the attack and then a kid from the Inferiors ends up playing.

He happened sometime with Fernando Cavenaghi, for example.

Or with Julián Álvarez.

And now he is going through Beltrán, who is winning the fight against the Colombian Miguel Borja and the Venezuelan Salomón Rondón.

“I always try to push myself every day in training, that is a characteristic of mine.

And we have a very healthy competition between all of us.

And I know that there will always be an opportunity to play”, admitted the goalscorer, born in the city of Córdoba.

Beltrán's face was red from so much effort and from the heat.

, since he does a similar job on the field.

“Ehh... It could be... But you have to say that (for the journalists).

I have a great friendship with Juli, we shared a pension for a long time, and playing in the Lower and Reserve teams we complemented each other very well”, the 21-year-old from Cordoba, who will turn 22 on March 29, acknowledged with some shyness.

Beltrán scored two goals and was the figure of River against Godoy Cruz.

The first, after a great personal definition, in which he combined good control of the ball, a feint, a half turn and a caress of the ball with the inside of his right foot, to put it against the furthest post of Ruso Rodríguez, the Godoy Cruz goalkeeper.

The second, from a penalty, the one who kicked with conviction and security.

He could have converted a hat-trick, but Esequiel Barco took the ball from him to kick the other penalty, which became River's third goal.

"He grabbed it and was convinced to kick, ha."

That's how Beltrán said goodbye.

With a smile from ear to ear, after his great night at the Monumental.
