Carlos Palacios admits he owes Riquelme at Boca: “I blame myself” | OneFootball

In Boca's rise in the Clausura Tournament, where they achieved five consecutive victories, the offensive midfielder Carlos Palacios improved his performance and established himself as one of the starters in the team's forward line led by Claudio Úbeda.

After the Xeneize's training, Palacios himself spoke to the media in the mixed zone, and there, besides talking about his performance in the team, he also revealed that he has frequent conversations with Juan Román Riquelme and confessed that he has an outstanding debt with him.

This debt is related to the lack of goals since he arrived at the beginning of this year. So much so that in 34 matches played, he only scored three goals. The last time he scored was on April 19 in the 2-0 victory against Estudiantes on matchday 14 of the Apertura Tournament.

"Sometimes I talk with the number 10 to see what can be improved. We have a chat when we meet, he always helps me both outside and inside. Listening to people who have already played is wonderful, and you always learn something new every day," he began about his relationship with Riquelme.

And he added regarding the debt he has with him: "My outstanding debt is to score more goals. I do self-criticism and know that I lack goals, I reproach myself for it. Against Talleres, I got closer to the area and had two chances. I want to score a goal to start converting again, and stepping into the area is what gives me the opportunity."
