A special week began
.
The
Superclásico
between
River
and
Boca
attracts the focus of attention on the seventh date of the
Professional League Cup
.
And for no one, neither players nor coaches nor leaders nor fans, it is just another game.
For this reason, goalkeeper
Sergio 'Chiquito' Romero made a public request
about how they will have to play at the Monumental stadium if they want to get a good result, after the 2-1 defeat against Lanús.
"We have to go out and play for the shirt (for the match against River Plate next Sunday). Beyond the football that we have, which is quite attractive, we try not to throw the ball around and play football. Obviously Going to the Monumental is bringing the soul of what a Boca fan is and bringing fanaticism
," considered the former Manchester United goalkeeper in England.
Regarding the analysis of the lost match with 'Granate', the man born in Misiones assured that it was
"a blow that is difficult to describe"
, because they did
"many merits"
and had
"many chances to tie the game"
.
"We know what football is, they came against us three times and scored two goals, that's what hurts
," he described at a press conference.
"The blows are always difficult, they are not easy. It is just a week before the match with River but beyond that if we do an internal analysis we deserved to score goals, we did everything, we had many chances,"
he said.
"It didn't work out for us but the upcoming game against River I hope they come in and we can talk about how the way of playing changed
," said the "1" of the "Xeneize" in the prelude to the Superclásico with the 'millionaire' cast

Romero praised his colleague from Lanús,
Lucas Acosta
, who he said
"took out two or three that were practically under the goal
. "
"We had the header from (Lucas) Janson, the shot from (Luis) Advíncula and Edi (Cavani) later also had his chance. But, in the analysis, the defeat hurts because we had many chances. We have to continue and think about what "He comes because it is an important game
," he added.
"In football you have to win, there is nothing else. Here it doesn't matter if we have 80 percent possession of the ball, here what matters is the three points. It matters for us, for the entire club, for our fans "Today's football is about results
," Romero concluded.
