“Villa has a bucket in his head, he doesn't let him see”: the Colombian was criticized for celebrating an obvious misplaced goal

Boca Juniors has not yet known the victory in the Professional League Cup since that interzonal superclassic against River Plate on March 20.

The team of Colombians Frank Fabra, Jorman Campuzano and Sebastián Villa received Godoy Cruz on the evening of Wednesday, April 20, for the 11th date of the Argentine first division tournament and did not go beyond the draw despite the effort of Colombian striker Villa to score at the 65th minute in an obvious position advanced.

The right winger of Boca and former Deportes Tolima player was not spared criticism for not having recorded his best match of the current season, despite the fact that his goal would have been 2-1 to ratify Boca in safer ranking positions below the leader of zone 2, Estudiantes de La Plata.

Villa celebrated with all his goal with the fans, but he didn't notice something that his teammates tried to warn him, he was almost two meters ahead of the line of Godoy Cruz's last defense, when his teammate Darío Benedetto threw him a head pass that left him hand in hand against goalkeeper Juan Espinola.

Technical Director Sebastián Battaglia did not celebrate that move in which VAR didn't even have to intervene, but Villa did not care, who shouted his right corner at the club of the visiting goalkeeper's right hand.

Approximately 30 seconds after their celebration, they told the coffee maker that the goal had not been validated and he did not understand what happened when he saw central judge Hernán Mastrangelo raising his left hand to sanction the indirect free kick in favor of the Mendoza club.

This is how the particular play of the footballer from Bello, Antioquia, lived:

One of the strongest criticisms of Boca's performance and in particular of Villa's move was sports journalist Rodolfo Gringo Cingolani, who said that Villa celebrated like this because “he has a bucket in his head, he doesn't let him see it” after coverage of the match for TyC Sports.

Cingolani added that this type of deconcentration on the pitch is part of the reasons why Villa has not been able to reach European football, despite his conditions.

There is no doubt that Villa is one of the most rescuable in attack for Boca Juniors, considering that he has just scored Lanús on the weekend and is the top gunner of the xeneize team along with Darío Benedetto, with four goals recorded.

Unfortunately, the current picture of Boca is so irregular that even with Sebastian Villa they can't win. The 1-1 draw does not reflect what happened in La Bombonera, where the Mendoza team deserved to take the three points home, but could not account for the reflexes of goalkeeper Javier García, who avoided what was a real catastrophe.

The discontent of the fans Xeneize did not go unnoticed and at the end of the game against Godoy Cruz, this is how they sang to the players because of the poor run of results, which has them not won for four matches in the domestic tournament:

It should be remembered that Boca is still in the qualifying zone for the round of 16 in zone 2 of the Professional League Cup with 18 points and placed fourth in the standings.

The Buenos Aires team is increasingly harassed by its pursuers and, if that were not enough, after the draw at La Bombonera, coach Sebastián Battaglia suspended the post-match press conference, so this precedent could lead to an imminent resignation in the face of being eliminated in the 2022 Conmebol Libertadores Cup.

This is how the classification is going with three dates left to finish the “all against all” phase:
