It was not only soccer practice that gave clear indications about the very possible ownership of
Leandro Brey in the
Boca
goal
, this Sunday against Estudiantes in La Plata, for matchday 11 of the
League Cup
.
Also the nice video that a while later the club dedicated to the young goalkeeper on social networks.
Brey, 21, entered the match against Racing in an emergency due to a series of unfortunate events (not for him, of course).
First,
Sergio Romero's injury
in the defeat against Unión.
Then, the same Sunday in the classic, the annoyance that took Javier García
, Chiquito's natural replacement,
off the field .
And although the medical report only indicated a contracture, during the week Javi did not appear on the playing field and the young goalkeeper took over the goal in the first and only soccer test so far.
If confirmed this Saturday in the tactical work, Brey will have his first time as a starter between the three sticks, after twice having to enter due to different emergencies.
One against Always Ready in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores due to an injury to Agustín Rossi
and the other, the recent one with Racing.

A shared post from Boca Juniors (@bocajrsoficial)
What he lacks in experience he has on
Juan Román Riquelme
's bench .
“He is on his way to being the owner of the goal.
He was lucky to learn from Rossi, García, Romero.
He likes to train, he is very serious.
He seems like a bigger person.
I have no doubt that he is going to be Boca's goalkeeper for many years.
"He is a great goalkeeper
, "
the current president said some time ago about the goalkeeper who broke it in these years in the Reserve.
His recent participation in the Pre-Olympic tournament with the Argentine Under 23 National Team, with which he qualified for the Paris Olympic Games, is also a very good boost for Brey to finally have his great opportunity and begin the announced transition to become first instance in the substitute.
In the first option every time Chiquito Romero is not there.
