Argentine journalist spoke about Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano at Boca Juniors: they would make headlines against River Plate

Boca Juniors is one of the most important clubs, not only in South America, but also around the world. The brand they represent is impressive and there are few players who manage to defend their shirt. However, there are currently two Peruvians playing there like Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano. Precisely, the Argentine journalist Leandro Aguilera, referred to the moment of each one and the options they have to be in the Superclassic against River Plate.

First we have to mention that the 'Kaiser' had minutes in the previous match against Estudiantes due to the injury of starter Carlos Izquierdoz in the 24 minutes. Therefore, coach Sebastian Battaglia would choose to line him up in the starting eleven. “If we are guided by what he did over the weekend when Carlos Izquierdoz was injured, who entered was Carlos Zambrano. We have to be guided by that. Both Zambrano and Advíncula will probably make headlines in the Superclassic against River,” the journalist said in an interview for GOLPERU.

Now, the timing of both players is different. While Advíncula was able to change the criticism he received in his first matches, Zambrano is still resisted by fans due to his poor performance. Given this, Aguilera indicated the reason. “Luis Advíncula has been having very good performances and has raised his level a lot. The great preseason he did with his teammates suited him very well. We witnessed Advíncula's first goal with the 'blue and gold' shirt. He looks very good physically and footbally. I think that allows him to start earning the respect of the Boca fan, who is very cruel. When a player doesn't have good performances he's not going to whistle him, he's not going to boo him, but he won't respect him. In this case, Advíncula was being respected from date to date for his performances and I think that, in recent matches, he has really had a very good performance. That has undoubtedly allowed him to be one of the most prominent in Boca Juniors,” he said about 'Lucho'.

OWNER'S LINK ON THE RIGHT SIDE

That was not all, since as mentioned above, the right back did not start in the best way in Boca, but he knew how to change his situation. Marcelo Weigandt's injury helped in a way to increase the figure of 'Bolt'. “People see that he is the starting '4′ and he has all the support. At first it had become difficult for him to start because 'Chelo' Weigandt, who is a youth boy from Boca, was having a great level until he was injured. Then Advíncula fought the job with a favorite son of the house. But by force of sacrifice, perseverance and performance, he has managed to get the Boca fan to applaud him and not fail anything,” he said.

ZAMBRANO FOR HIS REMATCH

On the former defender of Schalke 04, Leandro believes that against River Plate will be the great opportunity for him to demonstrate his conditions and claim himself. This is because his presence was diluted by the low performance shown and the excessive faults he committed. “This is an opportunity to be able to do the same as Advíncula, because he has not had continuity since he arrived, he has not been an undisputed starter. Now he has the chance, by force of sacrifice and good performances and, without a doubt, of that perseverance, to be able to win the respect of the Boca fan. When Zambrano's name appears, underneath they wonder why no other footballer appears. He is faced with that situation where he has to reverse a little with his returns,” he said of the central defender.
