Boca legend backs Marchesín amid criticism | OneFootball

After a small positive streak, Boca returned to defeat against Defensa y Justicia in a match that left more doubts than certainties ahead of the final stretch of the Clausura Tournament. One of the most criticized players was Agustín Marchesín due to the mistakes that cost the Xeneize several points in recent matches.

In this regard, amid the criticism, including that of his own teammates on the field, a Boca legend did not hesitate to back him up. While he did not deny that the former Lanús player has lowered his performance, he trusts that he can recover it with his career and experience.

It was Carlos Navarro Montoya who spoke about the current state of the blue and gold goal in a conversation with Boca de Selección. El Mono, an authoritative voice when it comes to the three posts, emphasized that mistakes should be pointed out in the locker room and not on the field as Leandro Paredes did in the defeat against Defensa y Justicia.

“Marchesín had 3 very good saves and they are rating him very low. Things are reprimanded in the locker room, never on the field as happened on Saturday”, commented El Mono. In the same vein, he acknowledged that “he has things to improve, for me the center of the goal is positioned too far inside, that's why he doesn't make the decision to go out. Nowadays, goalkeepers position themselves too far inside the goal and the first effect of this is that it causes problems in the aerial game”.

On the other hand, he assured that the problem lies in the fact that “Agustín is not saving the team” as he did when he started his cycle at the Xeneize. For this reason, “it is a normal demand for a Boca goalkeeper”. And he added: “I believe he is a man of experience and when you arrive you know that the demand is going to be huge and you have to face it as such”.

To conclude, he highlighted: "When things go wrong, you have to train a lot, try to improve and self-criticize, and see how to get back on track. He has already performed well in Boca. If we demand and ask him these things it is because he has already done well, so he has to go back that way”.
